10 Downing Street - Petitions

I really don't know where to put this so I hope this is in the right place.

You may have recently received a petition regarding a bank holiday in November. Well there is a specific place on the Prime Minister's website to post and sign petitions.

I know a couple of signatures on some cases wont make a difference, but with the number of people who use this site perhaps it can do in some needy cases. For example, one "money saving" petition is to reduce petrol priced to under £1 per litre:

I will be signing this one shortly! ;)

    They stand even less chance when they're as badly worded as the rather mad one to 'reduce fuel to below £1 a litre'.

    As usual, there is no alternative proposed for replacing the lost revenue. And they blame the filling stations! But I especially like "This is intollorable" -hilarious!!

    Because it is that simple.

    I swear some people don't even have a simple grasp of economics.
