Just Go Petition

ResignIt was in the hundreds when Guido first highlighted it, it is in the thousands now. On Monday morning when people start emailing it around offices it will be in the tens of thousands.

Tell him to “Just Go!”

      Don’t forget that Gordon “tax til the pips squeak” Brown did say he checked the petitions website when considering holding an election.

      Maybe he’ll consider his position next time he looks….

      See 2 mins into this clip -

      Pointless prats,

      Wouldn’t it be wiser to encourage everyone to register to vote and to vote for anyone but Labour?

      Now that campaign might make a `real` difference!

        I don’t think there will be much encouragement needed…..but anything to highlight what a completey inept PM we have should always be promoted.

        If Labour had any sense they would ditch the Brown and at least salvage some of the party from the wreckage following the election.

        I know they won’t and that is what brings a smile to so many on the right!

        But we only get to vote every four years. Sometimes, that’s not often enough. And why is it pointless to make your point heard, whatever the forum?

        Personally I would prefer everyone to withhold their council tax, that would be a “real” and immediate difference (I would say income tax but since that is nicked off us before it even hits our pockets we can’t withhold it).

      It’s only logging about 2,500 a day. That’s probably the expats, who care more becasue they are leaving.

      I don’t think it’s going to get more than 100,000 in the 178-odd days it’s got to run: we are all too tired and can’t be arsed to shift these people, I an very pessimistic about us all. Gordon will bin it having harvested everyone’s emails and trawled their hard disks remotely etc etc etc.

      Sorry but Guido was right in the first instance about petitions: they do no good and under Nazism just get the signatories into harm’s way: look at what happened to the White Rose group in 1943.

      Nice to see organic political growth.

      Guido you are walking a bit of a tightrope: In 1605 various plotters died trying to dry their powder by the fire. Interia is useful, but the bloke who set a fuse between confenece session is a Dr of Maths (he gets variables). Come Wednesday/Thursday there are column inches to be had most certainly and questions to be asked: who admins petitions/vetting on signatories/even scope of no 10 petitions in relation to parliament but would rather acknolwedge the slow burn rather than prove the limitations of the internet. Perhaps a side widget with daily count updates and countdown stopclock.

      LABOUR PARTY TO BE RESTRUCTURED

      A new clause 4b is to be written into the Labour Constitution. The clause reads:

      The Party will ensure that the means of production remain in the hands of the many, not the few’

      This is in recognition of the modern economic condition where goods – and the means to produce them – are made in China not in the UK.

      Send the speaker to the tower says:

      I’m sick to death of Stephen Fry. He’s a shallow TV personality who takes a popularist view on everything, constantly reminds everyone he’s an atheist (not that I have a problem with that, but I don’t need reminding every two minutes) and pretends to be both some sort of quaint old buffer who needlessly flourishes all his sentences, while being in touch with the ‘common man’.
      I seem to remember him appearing in a Labour Party Political Broadcast in either 1992 or 1997 anyway so I hardly think he’d Twitter about the PM resigning. Having said that, I suspect it’s more in the interests of Labour suporters than Tory’s to get rid of Brown. They might try to repair some damage.
      Rant over. I’m just tired of hearing him referred to as a national treasure-what exactly has he done?

        Stephen Fry is a pompous tosser living on the BBC tellytaxpayer funded teat. Like that other marvellous talent, Jonathan Woss he wouldn’t do half as well if the Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation wasn’t funded by a poll tax that enables it to squeeze out any competition.

        Also, I seem to recall Fry was done for some form of theft when he was younger – which seems to escape those who think of him as some kind of treasure – Fool’s Gold more like :-)

    But the Snotgobbling, nail-biting mentalist will never budge. He’s pathalogically incapable of admitting he is wrong. In his mind, he will go down as one of the world’s great leaders, the saviour of the global economic system. Only removal by men in white coats will extricate him from Downing street prior to the public doing so in an election.

So lets get this right, you are driving a 10 year old motor, presumably because you’re skint and can only afford to just keep repairing it, but at the same time you have the dosh to shell out on a brand new one? Has this really been thought through?

      IanPJ says:

      What few are willing to mention is that Brown and his cohorts are merely treading water, holding on until 2010 when all 27 member states ratify Lisbon.

      Brown does not care for the young, he does not care for the economy, he does not care for Britain, he only cares for the day when after Lisbon he can hand responsibility for everything over to Brussels.

      This is smoke and mirror politics at its worst, because the real reasons behind the lame, weak excuses for policy that come out of Westminster are merely a holding action, just waiting for the final few countries to sign up to Lisbon.

      Then, none of us will have a say, Tory, LibDem, LPUK none of us. It will all be decided by the unelected in Brussels.

      We have to force the change before that happens, otherwise….

      “Has this really been thought through?” – of course with all the skill that Mr Darling can muster.

      The Government only contributes £1k, and expects the car manufacturer to stump up the other £1k.

      But the manufacturer was already giving a £1k (or more) discount, so the discount will now reduce by £1k.

        Spartacus says:

        I know fine how the voting system works. I was shocked the first time I did it that my “secret” vote was done on a form with my unique identification number on it, and in truth however tempted I may have been to vote for extremists I decided against because if I was running the place I’d keep tabs on some minority views. The thing with voting, however, is that you are in with tens of millions of others, and then you do indeed hope to have the safety of numbers.

        2 million people watched Mr Harmans You Tube vid. Google knows who many of them were because they have a cookie on lots of your computers. Prior to this month the British state didn’t know who they were. How many people in 1930 in Germany thought the state would never show them any malice? Who thought British terrorism laws were to be invoked against Icelandic banks? Who thought Mr Speaker would let police raid an MP’s office in the Commons?

        Our present regime stoops very low. Their mouthpieces on this site preach Stalinism. A cop was fired for membership of a legal political party recently. What will our country be like in 20 years? Are you sure you want to be on someones list?

        Anon above urged others to sign a petition yet chose to be anonymous. I usually post here as anonymous too, but deliberately used a pseudonym because of what I was writing. It is not consistent to call yourself anonymous while urging others to put their names to a petition. But I do urge you to register and to use your vote, however pointless the casting of it is.

        The previous thread has a post that quotes the numbers as they have been varying over the day; having thought about it (and checked a few times) I think all that is happening is a delay as new names go on in batches plus a subsequent purging out of fake names eg Hymer Coont etc. I have noticed the joke signatories go on but then cannot find them later, I think (hope) that is all that is happening…so far.

      But always better than sitting and doing nothing. On their own some of these initiatives might not count for much but the cumulative effect will have some of these NuLab twats discomfited, destabilised and will get them thinking. Someone suggested a few days ago that the NuLab politicos should be booed wherever they go. On the face of it this might seem a bit puerile and ineffective but I’m not so sure. Think of the look on Ceausescu’s face when the assembled pissed-off multitude started to boo him: likewise Blair when an equally pissed off W.I. did the same. They just can’t hack this sort of thing. And in the case of Nicolai and Tone – the beginning of the end for both of them.

    The “Just Go” petition is growing at an hourly rate nearly 10 times faster than any of the other petitions in the current Downing St. Top 20.

    The other most popular (which is about to close) has had 65 new signatures since one o’clock this afternoon. “Just Go” has had 543.

    When whole groups in offices start signing it on Monday, then sending it to their customers and their suppliers who do the same – the growth rate could well be exponential.

    That is, if the UK still has any businesses left.

    It’s really not that proactive, doesn’t feel right, like some kind of facebook invite to an event you don’t really care about and are ‘maybe attending’. I don’t think anyone should decide the leadership of a country in that way. One way is a general election.

    I’m looking forward to party conference season. Brown will have to run the risk of public humiliation on national television from his own partylthough I have a feeling that he will effectively be deposed in the next few weeks more’s the pity.

    He’ll be shooting frightened looks at the door of No 10 every time he hears a knock from here in.

    I think the word is going to come from the union paymasters. They are already close to open revolt.

      People talk about Brown being deposed – it’s NOT going to happen – Brown will never go voluntarily he is pyschologically incapable of admitting that he has made mistakes or in the wrong – he listens to nobody- he will split the Labour Party sooner than be ousted from power. All the talk about a leadership challenge after the June elections is just talk – nothing will happen. Brown will lead the Labour Party into the General Election you can absolutely guarantee that fact!!!

      Labour had their chance in June 2007 and they “bottled it”. If they couldn’t get rid of him before he was Prime Minister what chance have they now. Absolutely NONE

    Capt Con O'Sullivan says:

    You forgot Blears, the ‘Community’ secretary who when asked what the cause of the credit crunch might be elected for ‘too much testosterone in the city’.

    Pitiful. Especially since Brown’s senior banking advisor was a female, the ex-Goldman Sachs registered non-dom who famously had millions nicked out of her bank account by her PA without noticing it.

    There were more than a few senior females in banking circles as well. Poor little Hazel saw the Treasury Committee having a pop at the Four banking Musketeers on TV and her little brain said to her ‘hey that’s not fair. There’s no wimmin.’

    How that obvious fool was ever foisted on the British people as a competent person I have no idea.

    If anyone wants to sign up, here is a link,

    http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/please-go/#detail

    This is a government which makes Mugabe look credible.

    Let’s at least get rid of Brown. It would at least be a ’start’.

    Services have lessened and resources dwindled under this Government and certainly our clients people with learning disabilities and people with mental health issues, have suffered under this regime, so I am happy to see both him and his Government go.

    Already seemingly over 7000 people agree with the petition in two days. You have a duty to inform people in your area.

    It is about time people had the chance to vote for or against Gordon Brown as the Labour party never gave us a chance and look at the mess we are all in.

    Gooey Blob says:

    I see the quote from Kelvin MacKenzie on the front page:

    “Gordon should take a bottle of brandy and a gun, go to a quiet room, have a drink, then blow his brains out. “

    Admirable sentiments, but I fear Kelvin hasn’t thought that one through properly. Such is Gordon Brown’s competence that if tried to shoot himself, he would miss. In truth, Gordon is a local politician with delusions of adequacy who has been promoted way above his station. I fear much the same applies to the rest of the current cabinet. In Gordon’s favour, he has had a couple of years in the job, and that experience alone lifts him above those in his own party who plot to succeed him – though there is still very little between the hopeless and inept array of nonentities and numpties that make up the current government.

    A change of governing party or parties is long overdue.
