Dear neighbours,


I just signed the petition "Embarrassing the government should not be a crime" and wanted to ask if you could add your name too.


This campaign means a lot to me and the more support we can get behind it, the better chance we have of succeeding. You can read more and sign the petition here:

Thank you!




P.S. Can you also take a moment to share the petition with others? It's really easy ? all you need to do is forward this email or share this link on Facebook or Twitter: https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/embarrassing-the-government-should-not-be-a-crime?share=aaa86039-9233-4b41-b090-a0c886763ccb&source=email-share-button&utm_medium=socialshare&utm_source=email

Is this for real?


All these on-line petitions are a joke.

"Journalists should be allowed to report on issues which are in the public interest."

How is embarrassing anyone in the public's best interest?

Should be a petition to stop journists over sensationalising stories and get them to actually report real stories

Just because some journalists (or more likely sub editors) do click bait there is no reason to stop the reporting of stories that maybe mildly embarrassing because the government wants to win an election.


Although I guess the Ed Milliband eating a sandwich hack deserved 10 years in jail for that - Ed would have been kind and visited him once a year in the alternative universe where Ed won.

    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
    • Looking for any tickets to the Dulwich Hamlets game against St Albans today!
    • I'm going to Paris with friends, staying in the 3rd arrondissement. I used to go a lot but that was ages ago so wondered if anyone has any 'insider tips'? We are interested in small art galleries, independent shops, good value cafes and restaurants that may not feature in all the many online articles or guides, thanks!
