A call for Prime Minister Gordon Brown to resign has become the best supported petition on the Downing Street website.
The petition - started by Labour supporting academic Kalvis Jansons - has been backed by more than 38,000 people so far.
Petitioners are promised a response from the government if they attract more than 200 signatures.

Finally gets some mainstream attention.
I suspect the answer will come from the PM's office something like this:
"During times of economic hardship such as now, there are bound to be feelings running high that someone should take responsibility for the current crisis. The economic crsis which started in America and has spread throught the world has affected all of us. Here in central government we are doing just that with programs for growth and jobs and investment for businesses and enabling households to borrow money to restore the mortgage market to normal levels wah wah wah ... resume normal spending ... confidence in their purchasing decisions ... banks have a duty ... blah blah ... thank you very much for listening and have a very happy May Day Bank holiday ... "

IMO the momentum is building for example today former Home Secretary Charles Clarke has told the BBC recent events have made him "ashamed" to be a Labour MP and ex-home secretary David Blunkett warned of a "catastrophic" collapse in trust and urged Mr Brown to regain the political initiative.
