Over 1,000,000 people got up off their butts and put the actual effort in to physically marching on London to protest against the illegal war in Iraq. The left wing government took no notice what so ever. None.<p>Please, I am a Brit, can you tell me why the current right wing nut jobs we currently have ruining our country will take notice of people merely filling out a petition on the internet?<p>Im sorry, lazily filling out an e-Petition is only of any use if its what the government want to do in the first place. They use it validate their prejudice. If it differs from their policy, they will simply ignore it.<p>Worse still, if not may people sign the petition, they will use that too as an excuse to back up their prejudgment.<p>So, I say, get rid of that e-Petition now, it makes things worse.<p>Terrifyingly, speaking as a wet pacifist who couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag, the only way I see to oppose a sitting government is mass violence. Bigger violence that a few summers ago.
