How can the Govt ignore this partition?

I just looked at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/list/open?sort=signers The parttion has more signatures than all of the rest of the partitions in list put together.

Oh and the pro road pricing one managed a stagering 106 signatures.

I am nearly there. I have had the mail back to confirm, but when I try to confirm, it fails.

I had not realised that there was a pro one, there was bloke representing  a 'green' point of view that sent a text to 'Today' on radio four this morning suggesting that he was sure that a 'pro' petition would probably receive as many if not more votes than the anti Grin

Wrong Grin

Nice unbalanced report about the petition on the BBC 6 o'clock news. Angry Angry

Interview with a Minister, and a rep of Transport 2000, who are financed by the bus and train companies, vested intrest prehaps.


BBC news = Ministry of Truth.

Even if we make it to 30 million they won't listen.

I've still signed it though.

The petition seems to have jammed at 1281218.
Do you reckon some snivelling little civil servant has thrown a spanner in the works ?

AFAIK the petition website service is provided by an independednt IT firm. It most likely doesn't have the capacity to deal with the massive level of hits this petition has generated. However, that's not to say some nasty little person in the secret services has sabotaged it.

The BBC reporting has been an utter disgrace IMO, the internal lobbying from the right-on media greenies must be intense. Well bully for them, but I can tell you here and now that I will not ever, under any circumstances, be fitting a road tracking device to any vehicle in my fleet. No Sir. No way. Never. Not on your nellie, I'll go to prison first.

I e-mailed them last night to say I've seen that the site seemed to be a bit stressed.    I even got a reply to say they had been working hard on making the system able to better handle the load.  I wrote at 22:20 the reply came at 23:20.   So I would say it's not a govt run thing there is no way they could be that speedy.

Well of course new cars wil be factory fitted with the device so you may not have a chooice as time goes by.  But it does smack of Poll tax as far as "we don't want it" goes. Personally I liked the Poll tax.  It saved me a load of money.   

I'll stop using my car when they stop using Ministerial cars.

As I mentioned yesterday it took me about thirty attempts over five hours to finally get accepted on this petition (they must know me). I am a stubborn sod and can only assume that others with better things to do may have given up long before I did and are likely to have fallen by the wayside. Pity. All I can suggest to those that experienced the same problems I did is keep trying, chances are you will get through. Whether it will count for anything in the end, who knows. Huh
