    I read but with all those acronyms none of it made sense to me.

    I agree, !!!!!!.

    I have no idea what the WOWpetition (sic) is/was.

    Nor do I know what IFS, CIA (those pesky American spooks get everywhere :cool:), EHRC are.

    Imho, it's a poorly written petition.
    I wish people hoping for support via these e-petitions would give more consideration to the content of the petition.

    IFS Institute for Fiscal Studies? Not sure how they tie in to disabilities though
    CIA Chemical Industry Association? Are they trying to link disbailities with chemicals in the food/water/air
    EHRC Typo? ECHR European Court of Human Rights?
    WOWpetition A petition to get new Ways Of Working? That's the only WOW that I know

    WOWpetition is war on welfare.

    IFS is something to do with statistics.

    EHRC is European Human Rights Convention.

    Still doesn't make sense to me and probably a lot of others without any background information/explanation

    I agree.

    If someone wants me to sign a petition, then they should ensure that all the relevant information is contained within the petition so that any potential supporters don't have to Google acronyms to find out what is being proposed.

    I could have Googled the acronyms - but couldn't be ar**ed.
