When I try to listen to the letters/numbers Firefox informs me that the site to which I am taken is trying to do something nasty to my computer. <br />Has the Petition been got at?selsey.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531315051208210724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-26621119696640788102012-12-01T11:29:09.152+00:002012-12-01T11:29:09.152+00:00If you ask most people what they think of the EU t...If you ask most people what they think of the EU they say they want out, ask them how important that is to them and it is way down the list.<br /><br />What people think of an issue is less relevant than how important people consider it. The Beer tax petition was moribund until CAMRA put its weight behind it and publicised it to its 140,000 members. No one is publicising this petition, it is mentioned on no newspapers or blogs. People may not like minimum pricing but they care about it less than many other issues.<br /><br />Though it may be one factor in Dave losing. Your average prosperous middle class Tory voter likes a cheap bargain on a case of Merlot and doesn’t like a posh twat telling him he can’t have one. Pity that will result in a gormless twat winning instead.<br />Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-27736331076224089002012-11-30T20:30:12.884+00:002012-11-30T20:30:12.884+00:00One reason why not many people have signed the e-p...One reason why not many people have signed the e-petition Curmudgeon, is that it appears to be rigged. I have just tried to sign it myself, only to receive a message, in red letters, telling me I "can't sign the petition more than once." <br /><br />Now I'm adamant that I haven't already signed it, even though I know I should have done before now. I'm not one to give much dredence to conspiracy theories, but I'm beginning to wonder whether something is going on here.Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.com
