I have seen the epetition government website and it was fascinating to see what people really want. My quesiton is: Will the government take them seriously?

Some are repetitions and therefore would never collect the necessary number of signatures, some are obsolete and out of spite or completely non relevant. Could the website be better organised and reject, for example repetitions of the same subject?

Has anybody seen the epetition website?

In essence it is a good idea. Anything taken up would have to have a realistic chance of passing through the commons and lords which is why not everything is taken up obviously. Also just because something has an epetition doesn't make it either a sensible or valid cause either. I for one think the new rule regarding 100,000 signatures automically ensuring presentation to parliament is a bit low in a country of 70 million. All that aside, anything that allows connection to those who run our country has to be worth something.

Yes you are right, but some petitions, from what I have seen, are relevant to small communities and groups and it would be very difficult to get 100,000 signatures. Because there are so many petitions repeated, you will never get the necessary required votes for the parliament to consider If they had a system filtering the petitions and rejecting repeations straight away, perhaps things would be better.

Oh yes.

Please, please richardbach, would you try and get at least 70% of the letters in the right order? And just the odd full stop would help enormously. It's testing my dyslexia to the limit.

Reminds me of Professor


Stanley Unwin.


He says the following:


"A wonderful party! The fly did a buzzy-most around the ceily, Little Boy Blue came left his hormones behind, and stuffed his corn there with his trumpey, and brought his melotrophy. Oh dear, knees up Mother Browny, Huckleberry my fimbold, and he freaked them all out with an enormous mind-blast, which was ... oh dear! And thence to the cool of the early mord, they gathered it there and snoozy-most. But stay cool man, stay cool, won't you."

Epetitions are the refuge of the lazy. What's wrong with writing a letter? What bothers me about them is that there will always be 100,000 that would sign up to something. Some great causes and beliefs, it's true but if the Daily Mail decided to mobilise in favour of say capital punishment or the downgrading of gay rights, there will easily be 100,000 tha will sign it once it goes viral, without them really thinking about what they're signing up to.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
