We The Undersigned Want Gordon Brown To…
SAYS No. 10: “There is a long-established tradition of members of the public presenting petitions at the door of No 10 Downing Street. The e-Petitions [http://petitions.pm.gov.uk] service has been designed to offer a modern parallel, which is more convenient for the petitioner. Unlike paper-based petitions, this new service also provides an opportunity for No 10 to respond to petitioners via email.”
And what’s more with an e-pet you don’t run the risk of getting shot when you approach that famous black door.
In honour of Gordon Brown’s elevation, Anorak takes a look at some of those petitions that make mention of him:
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Resume cordial relationship with the First Minister Alex Salmond – I find it shameful that Tony Blair and Gordon Brown can sit down with the likes of ex paramilitaries in Northern Ireland and Guddafi. When they do not have the common courteousy to even phone Alex Salmond scotlands New First Minister. I petition both Tony and Gordon to resume a relationship with the first minister in the interests of the 5 million people of Scotland.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Disclose Bilderberg Group decisions affecting the UK electorate
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to refund to “Children In Need” an amount equivalent to all the VAT raised by the Treasury, on the sale of the “Janet & John” CD’s from the “Terry Wogan Breakfast Show” on BBC Radio 2
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to make Tony ‘Bomber’ Brown ex WBA football player a Sir
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Locate the centralised Student Loan Company (SLC) in England NOT Scotland – Student Loans are to be centralised to Glasgow. At the same time Gordon and his cronies are facing a situation where the Scots do not pay any student fees in Scotland and yet English students will have to pay to attend a UK-subsidised scottish University! Surely it has to be the height of insensitivity to please the student loand company in Scotland!!
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to honour Phillip Schofield for his services to broadcasting – Phillip Schofield (born 1st April, 1962 in Oldham, Lancashire) is a tv presenter that can relate to an audience of all ages – He presents This Morning and Dancing On Ice but over his 25 years in broadcasting has also presented childrens programmes (from his broom cupboard days with Gordon and Gopher to Going Live!) and many other programmes including Schofield’s Europe, Talking Telephone Numbers, Test the Nation and The British Soap Awards to name a few.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Scrap the £5 billion-a-year tax grab from pension funds – Gordon Brown abolished ACT in his 1997 budget. This allowed pension funds to claim back the tax on dividends from companies in which they owned shares. He has taken £5 billion-a-year from this action. This reduces the amount of money in the fund when an annuity is purchased to fund retirement. This action is at odds with Mr. Brown’s encouragement of saving for retirement and hence this tax should be scrapped to provide an incentive.
More to come…
