This week’s Reject Rednesday takes place on a Saturday, because I want it to. So let us once again trawl through the ePetition site’s Reject Bin and pay heed to the braying and neighing of farmyard animals.
by Linda Homan (rejected)Please stop all migrants entering the UK. This includes our European partners. Residents from Europe should be allowed in at the rate of one UK person leaving – let in someone from Europe. This is a small island that is already overcrowded and we are facing huge unemployment without additional people. The argument that migrants help with work can no longer be used. We the British people are not prejudiced. However, if we are to remain the great nation that we have always been, we need to stop the madness that migration is bringing all over this wonderful country of ours!
Yes, because the “madness” going on in the UK these days is solely because of people clawing their way onto our shores like mindless zombies, hungry for the brains of employment, nourished only by the knowledge that the job they’re doing now has been stolen from a hard-working Brit.
The problem with people like this is that they’re complaining about immigrants taking our jobs in one breath, and then decrying “Benefit Britain” in the next. The irony of this is just sickening.

by Vanessa MotionChristmas should be kept for Christmas.
We feel that Christmas ( as well as our local councils’ finances ) are being destroyed by the over zealous erecting and lighting of Christmas Lights. We feel they should go up no earlier than the 1st Dec. So keeping Christmas for Christmas. More than that, we request that outdoor town and city Christmas lights (council Christmas Lights ) should be taken down by the 12th night so avoiding bad luck and instead spreading Joy.

by Paul Woodburn of n/aAll modern cars are having the European flag put on the left side of registration plates which looks completely and utterly looks ridicules!
Please stop doing it.

Uh-oh, we’re in trouble! This morning (which is actually this afternoon for those of you living in the UK) I received an email from someone who is clearly very unhappy about our commentary on their petition…
Dear Ben Paddon,
My name is Ben W Boagey, I posted a petition on 10 downing street website some time ago (clearly not a real wish for old currency).
I have recently found your post about me upon your website, posted on the 3rd March:
You are an honest-to-goodness moron.
The main thing that I would like to say to you is: HOW DARE YOU!!!!! You don’t even know me, and clearly have not even read the petition text yourself. What gives you the right to comment on my intelligence from an obviously silly and unrealistic petition. I demand that you remove or retract your statement with haste.
I have never before been referred to as a moron, nor as undereducated. I am a university student, I have always been at the top of my class and I am certainly in no way a moron or undereducated (looking at your bio on your website, it would seem that I am in fact more educated than yourself). It is true that you have the right to free speech. HOWEVER, that does not give you the right to slander!
How dare you tar my name with your petty, childish mockery (of things I bet you know very little of in anycase).
I demand that you apologise and remove that post immediately.
If you would like to discuss this further, feel free to contact me.
I eagerly await your reply,
Yours,
Ben W Boagey

I find it offensive that Police CCTV vans have a sign saying “Smile! You’re on CCTV” on the side of them. The implication is that the public are predisposed to committing crime and are only stopped from doing so because of the fear that they might be caught.
The vast majority of the population are not only law abiding, but go far beyond what is expected of them in order to make this country a pleasant place to live. The Police exist to serve us, not to treat us all as potential criminals.
I believe that these signs should be removed from all Police CCTV vans.

Menstruation is a natural part of female biology and yet whenever women buy the essential products needed to hygienically deal with this process we are paying extra. This should not be the case. Bandages have no VAT and neither does contraception, so why do tampons or towels have to?
Petitions of this nature have already been made but without enough publicity they have been unheard and now are closed. Spread the word and get this message out there.
This is at least the third petition I’ve seen asking for exactly this. And every time I provide a list of other things that everybody needs to do, and a list of other items that we could take VAT off, and in so doing potentially cripple the Government’s financial income. I’m not going to do that again. Instead, I’m just going to post a picture of a sad clown.
