Mikhail Liebenstein Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Hang on - didn't all the stupid joke entries get edited out of the 'Please Resign' petition? Whilst all the smartass entries have NOT been edited out of the 'Please don't resign' petition! edit: 20k woo & yay! That does seem to be the case.

dawildcat Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 People, the momentum is slowing, we need to spread the word on this petition. We must report this petition on every other english speaking forum we can find, and encourage the members of those fora to circulate the link. This opportunity is too important to just idly stand by. For friends, remember these words... " I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny.

A large number of names would have to be acted on by the tories or else they would damage their own credibilty, they might even start moves on a vote of no confidence? might not get the majority needed, but not the background he wants for his "doing the right thing" speeches?
