Okay, but we expect standards to rise.

By submitting a petition, do the creators know that they may be influencing or even creating government policy?
The government are using this system to boost the policy units ideas, no doubt as they are bereft of many themselves.
Its an excellent idea, getting people involved, however, its also using them on the cheap.
How much does the goverment pay its policy devisers, its special advisers and closest confidants?
Lots of our taxpayers money, lots and lots indeed.
So, pay us, the real policy creators, for the decent petitions we write, as we are the thinkers and do the work, too.
don’t you think that’s fair, or is this country not fair?

And wear a tie, dammit.

Damn, there are a lot of petitions lately. A worrying number of people are already suggesting cases for the Court of Human Opinion. At first I thought the site must have been advertised in some crappy tabloid, but in fact Ian Miller has discovered it.

The BBC is planning to remove the Stapline on the PM Blog. Please support all Bloggers and Froggers in the fight to have the starpline saved.

I like it when they combine clichés like this.

We are appalled at the quality of tabloid journalism. We ask that only high quality information appear in newspapers and the style of tabloid reporting should be banned. Whilst we wish to ensure freedom of the press to a certain extent, tabloid is damaging and insulting to people’s intelligence, so simply ensure that press are free to report, but allow a minimum standard of reporting, so you can get around the freedom issue. So we can end the dreadful tabloid journalism by this method, simply allowing only a high quality newsprint, and minimum standard to be able to appear. The scourge of the taboids should be ended somehow, this is a way to do it. quality newsprint only. does the PM care about the quality of publications?

Is this parody? Can you type ‘so you can get around the freedom issue’ in all seriousness?

I do not wish to be force fed news. It is mostly not pertinent & irrelevant. Often conjecture, but always REPETITIVE which becomes torturous. Every Radio channel 48 times a day-INSANITY!!(plus the ads too-madness) It is basically a spin platform to facilitate subliminal indoctrination. NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS.

Have you tried turning it off and not on?

increase the number of overnight banking windows from the present 3 at eight hours each to 4 at 6 hrs each and later to 6 at 4 hrs to get out of the credit crunch instead of bailing out the banks. The system can be used to max of 24 windows at 1 hour each.

I’m pretty sure office hours are the root cause of the credit crunch. Anyone who thinks it’s to do with sub-prime mortgages is a fool.

We are offended at the sight of nude women in newspapers and other magazines. We would like to see them ended altogether. why? amongst many reasons, there are no good reasons for it, It degrades, is offensive, is unnecessary, may encourage sex crime, and also give certain girls inferiority complexes and men false expectations. No ifs or buts, our shops will be better without them. What advantage or purpose is there for them to exist that is any good?

They may encourage sex crime. Although, equally, they may not. They may spread norovirus. Who can say? Let’s not worry about facts, let’s just ban shit and hope it creates the illusion of government.

We think there is too much violence on TV. Whilst there may be arguments over the cast iron proof of whether it does or does not impact on every day life, we who sign this believe for certain images in the media STRONGLY influence people’s thoughts. Therefore, we ask that violent images are treated as serious as health information and ask that the small details be worked out, but seek to immediately request a new order of vetting of violent images in the media, and the number and nature of these images are reduced as of now. If there is any doubt, we ask something not to be broadcast. The images we are seeing, whilst not wishing to give specific examples are becoming more shocking each year, as tolerance grows due to exposure familiarity. In sum, we ask there to be an immediate clampdown. We ask this as we strongly believe this strongly encourages crime subconciously, impacts on violence and care about its impact on large and small scale society. Its need has never been greater, so experiment and perhaps for a fixed time reduce it, and see if there is an impact?

Here, Miller summarises the word ‘summary’.

by Mark Thomas
The Windsor family has form when it comes to race and the prospect of Prince Philip meeting President Obama and making a ‘gaffe’ would cause enormous national anxiety and anger. An ill advised remark would be a national embarrassment and make us appear to be backward fools on the international stage. Indeed Rednecks from America would parody our royal family as intolerant, racist, inbreeds.

Given that President Obama has a penchant for missile attacks, using pilotless drone planes in Pakistan, we should also be aware of the potential security consequences of Prince Philip angering President Obama.

Presumably a joke?

MPs in the House of Commons or Lords in the House of Lords shall if found guilty of a serious Criminal offence shall by the power of the people automatically lose their seat as MP or title ‘Lord’.

It sure is lucky there’s no way this could possibly be abused. I like the use of the phrase ‘by the power of the people’ to:

  1. make it sound democratic
  2. trigger my in-built He-Man impression

Last linght I watched Tim Burton’s Batman, and I was impressed with Batman’s can-do attitude and his ability to get the job done when supervillains attack Gotham City. I suggest Gordon should put on a cape and go around calling himself ‘The Caped Crusader’

Yes!

homework takes time too much . homwork takes over 88.62%of kids time.techers spend 2 hr marking homwork . therefore i need it to be ban

homwork do need to be ban. No question about that.

Also, nice statistic. I especially like that it’s ‘over’ this spuriously precise number.

Also, read this.

Decidability being a desirable characteristic of any system for making decisions, and in the interest of efficiency in legal proceedings, we the undersigned petition our Prime Minister to act for the establishment of a Turing-complete legal system in these islands

There are websites where I expect to use the phrase ‘Turing-complete’ and ones where I don’t. This has always been one of the latter. Oh, well.

by Stuart Nimmo
Sir Fred Goodwin continues to cause serious public distress. We petition that he is stopped from shirking his failures by taking a grotesque pension and that as his considerable greed discredits and undermines both the UK and its government, he lose his knighthood forthwith.

See, if only we had a Turing-complete legal system, we could properly define a Fred Goodwin Halting Problem. Dammit.

when the world cup is on it should be a public holiday.

I bet this works.

There are still loads, but I haven’t the time to do them all.
