    pointless? parliament in the true spirit of control freakery have formalised the protest movement- http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions

    The good news is they have made a commitment to respond to 'offical protests'. Maybe MSE would like to originate a protest and use their considerable (temporary) muscle to push it? No, thought not..
  • I agree. It is disgusting how the WCA is a tick box exercise that harms disabled people.

    Chris Grayling has absolutely NO control over private sites. You have to scroll right down to the bottom of the page and enter your comment, name and postcode as the article title and content asks you to do:

    >>>>Open letter to Ed Miliband. Please add name and postcode if you agree with contents.

    If you add your name and post code in a comment I will make sure Sonia gets it … I will delete this post after the letter has been sent… Dxxx

    Do people on here think that starting a similar thread on here would be worthwhile? It could be seen as a 'petition' and each post deemed a signature. It could be left open for three months or so and then we could all make our local MP's aware of the link to the thread once it is closed?

    Each post could be based on a generic script you copy and paste and add the information, similar to the one in the link in my OP.

    What do you all think? I'll start the thread and list all MP's and their contact details for you to forward the link to this thread once it is closed.
