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.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
