I know the petitions on the Number 10 website are systematically ignored by the government, but even so they can be useful in getting publicity for a particular cause. So I think this one is well worth signing:
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to reject proposals from the British Medical Association to vastly increase taxes on alcohol and restrict pub opening hours; and to protect the interests of the responsible, sensible majority of moderate drinkers.
I can’t see anything to object to in that – so long, of course, as we don’t accept the BMA definition of “moderate drinking”. Is this a sign that folks are at last waking up and smelling the coffee?

Duly signed. Thanks for pointing it out.
I can't see Mr Curmudgeon on the list though....
You do realise that isn't my real name, Dave?
I see Mr Tyson has signed it too :-)
The temptation is to be sarcastic over the name thing, but yes, I do realise of course.
Mr Curmudgy aka Katie Hun, methinks.
I'm in.
