Just Go Petition
It 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.

John Higginson of the Metro explains Quantitative Easing:
“There is £100 and 100 loaves of bread costing £1 each. QE creates another £100. Each loaf now costs £2.”
DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:
Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?
Just a thought.
This has even got it’s own Facebook fan club now.
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 -
Brown takes nortice of the petitions website
Just in case my HTML skills let me down here is the link the copy/paste – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3mxhdzj0Jw
It needs be more than a million.
Brown hardly even notices Trillions these days!!!!
If he stays, he’ll have to bow to public demand and issue free bath plugs to us all.

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!
One party says, “Wouldn’t it be wiser to encourage everyone to register to vote and to vote for anyone but Labour?”
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).
and it’s own Twitter ID…
http://twitter.com/BrownMustGo
Over 7,300 and counting.
Let’s keep pushing it.

saw this couple of days ago and Signed, I think I was number 23.
what’s it called?
just click on Guido’s link
Sickening torture video from American network channel ABC, and frightening to think the Gulf States or China might eventually own the UK.

Boot Brown out now.
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.
An early signatory
opps pissed “e bloke who set a fuse between confenece session”(and state opening)
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.
Check it out here:

It’s being circulated in the national newspapers now. Not long before it hits the headlines.
With the new laws passed, I’m sure New Labour and GCHQ will be pleased with all your email addresses.
Had them already, silly.
justoneglass is right – the ZaNuLab hoons and their stasi bootboys already know where we live. Our protection lies in the fact that they can’t jail us all – they can’t even afford to jail proper criminals now!
I think we could get as many as 2 million.

I see the video of David Starkey on Question Time is on :

What we really need is for Stephen Fry to tweet about it.
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?
he can’t speak on tv for more than 5 minutes without making a thinly disguised reference to sodomy.
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
we could get as many as 2 million.
He’d say that meant 59 million wanted him to stay.
Still less than 7000 signatures. I don’t think many people want him to go.
You are Gordon Brown and I claim my shares in RBS
It’s been going for all of 5 minutes you twat.
I signed it yesterday, since when its gained all of 2000 signatures, you twat.
It is 6825 now. 10th by size.
Why doesn’t he just take the hint.
Maybe we could get BBC Radio 2 to play the Moody Blues. I think that “Go Now” might just be appropriate.
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.
He will still need that after. He will not accept defeat so easily.
And he sings this merry little song….
Or better yet….
Mind if I add one I made into the mix?
or this one
Already done, Guido baby!
Forget ‘just go’ how about ‘Fuck Off, Gordon!’
@ Meanwhile at No. 10
My mother always told me: “Politeness never cost anything.”
Right now, it is the only thing we can afford.
stutter time
Apparently there is now a petition calling on Gordon Brown to resign on the Downing Street web site.
If you want to sign up, here is a link,

Can’t they just retire the fella? Same way as they retire old donkeys.
Makes excellent salami, apparently.
this a nota true-a
I’m trying to figure out the demographic able to use the £2k car scrap plan. 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?
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….
Concur, and with Jackboots continuously threatening us with more terror attacks I hope the Generals are taking notes and waiting to Pounce on these Amateur Despots.
Not concur.
With Bliar lining himself up as the first Glorious Fuhrer of all Europe, I cannot imagine anything GB would like less.
In fact, this may be all a cunning ploy to have us thrown out of Europe when we are declared bankrupt by the IMF, have to have UN peacekeepers in every city and our great and good seek political asylum in Israel.
Of course it has been thought through. The fewer the better. They don’t actually want to have to spend the money, just get the headline.
Well it fits me…well the wife actually she has a 12yr old fiat which she has had from nearly new its done 40,000miles and she fancied a new one so with the 2,000 from snotty and mangelrectum and waving a wad of notes we get a spanking new Panda for about 4,000.
Thank you snotty but we still hate you and would rather have a turd in No10.
Well if you want to buy a new car the first thing to do is pop down to the scrappy and pick up a banger for 100 quid that you can drive to the dealership. Scored.
Except you need to have been the registered owner for 12 months.
And it’s only £1,000 from the Government (us) and £1,000 from the dealer. Car dealers are already offering huge cash discounts as incentives, so in reality it’s a £1,000 bribe.
The trick is to trade in the wives car, give yours to her, and buy yourself that pussy magnet Porch you always wanted. Well that’s what I am going to do anyway. Thanks Gordon, now go and hang yourself, you twisted freak.
I think you will find its a PORCHE. Unless a cover over your front door in these times of austerity is the new fanny magnet
Fiat Panda
Obviously out of your league, it is PORSCHE
“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.
This is the problem with Labour – during the era of prosperity – it was spend – spend – spend….
With this announcement – it’s still – spend – spend – spend.
Expression – when you’re in a hole – stop digging!
Like all Liebour policies announcements, the aim is to get good publicity, nothing more. Even after 12 years, they are still behaving like an oppostion.
Heard some Hoon today saying in response to some problem that they have thrown x million pounds at it, so that’s job done isn’t it.
That was our pensions Hoon was talking about.
Sorry folks but petitioning psychopaths doesn’t work
If that petition looks like it will go viral, they’ll just pull it.
You can’t depose a dictator from your living room chair signing electronic petitions whilst sipping a latte.
We are actually going to have to get off our backsides, physically position ourselves in Parliamant Square and tell them all TO FUCK OFF out of our lives
Hear hear.
Exactly, since we can’t protest by withholding funds because of PAYE (the easiest, non-violent and preferred method of protest), we will actually have to make some kind of physical protest.
Never I truer word said
Geordie
How do we know we can do this in all safety? How do we know that one day all those who signed this petion won’t be looked up by the police and battered to death?
Because we’re not paranoid.
But i am
no your an android and paranoid
Pusillanimous
safety perhaps in anonymity? I wont ever sign any petition. Ever. But I do vote. Always.
And you thnk voting is anonymous spartacus?
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.
What’s to stop No 10 just wiping thousands of names off?
Someone would notice.
They wiped off quite a few earlier on today, though.
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.
yes they did, including mine. I tried reposting but I couldn’t, i guess my email was already registered. Never mind, i did manage to sign under my work email addy and so far have got 15 others to do the same.
Woahhh, Hold on there donkeys are nice creatures, shame on you putting Brown in the same league as a poor old donkey.
One thinks rat poison for Mr B would be more sutiable. I have some to spare.
Rats don’t deserve that
OK I signed.
Suppose:~
1. All those non-Brown fans sign, (say 66.6% of 60+million)
2. Brown resigns
3. Labour has a leadership vote
4. Kalvis Jansons becomes Labour leader, therefore PM.
5. Guido Fawkes becomes leader of the House (refuses to light fuse to Westminster now that its his anyway).
6. 40+million new MPs take their seats (and vote to work entirely from home).
7. No descussion needed as this site has become Parliament.
Am I going too fast for you all……………
full steam ahead Admiral.!
but let the handbrake off first..
Don’t you just love the Sandbanks Chain-ferry………
“‘Ello, Intelligence ‘ere”.
Dare to dream.
What good will 2m signatures do? As there are 61m people in Britain, it means less than one in thirty has endorsed it. If it were to get 31m+ signatures then things might be different. Two million marched against the Iraq War but Britain still fought in it.
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.
If it generates another embarrassing story in the MSM, then it’s been worthwhile. After all, McC*nts entire premiership will go down in the history books as the longest slow-motion car crash ever – don’t you want to be listed in the credits?
As someone else already said, 2 million signatures means the deluded twat will just say he has the implicit approval of the other 59million.
Still worth signing. Makes you feel better, if nothing else.
As long as he also takes his thieving cohorts with him. Particularly Jacqui Smith before she bans the internet.
Anonymous 4:04
The only people I can think of are newly qualified drivers who have driven mummy’s old banger for a year, before splashing out on credit for a brand new car.
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.
And we’re bound to have one one day.
And we’re bound to have one one day.
Bwahahahahahahahaha
you reckon?
By which time we will be a province of Europe and have even more debt on our plates. Get real!
We will have even more debt.
I see Ed Balls was an early signatory
What happens if your name was actually Ed Balls? I mean there must be huindreds in the country?
No one would ever take your vote seriously.
p.s. Where’s my vote gone………
It just went down again by about 50.
That’s interesting. I suppose that some are the made up names, but even so…
crash broon says unlike the torys he will not be making cuts ??? “nobody likes taxes ”
quite so me old matey and they dislike even more being spun the lie that labour has looked after the nations wealth when in actual fact they have trashed it .
today gordons speech explained nothing , just got to put his place in history in perspective , the biggest debt , the biggest whoppas , the biggest future tax burden .
harriet says “equality strengthens the economy” , err jobs do a much better action !!
the exectutive is failing us all , looking forward to tommorows speech hope it brings a few more into the fold , i think most people have mulled the budget over even if they cant see the consequences they know somthing is wrong with what the governemnt have said cough i meant not said .
Be careful what you wish for. We wouldn’t want it all to end in a terrible Balls up.
Nadine Dorries has proceeded with legal action

Gordon Brown’s gonna struggle to keep that out the headlines. Wonder if the bunker will appear in court?
Brown and Darling represent the advance party of the Scottish Liberation Army whose sole aim is the collapse of the UK economy. They are on course to achieve their objective.
They are, of course, backed by the French, who have agreed to take over Buckingham Palace as a Disney-style theme park.
If you think I’m joking, why do you think St George’s Day has been relegated to a historical piece of nonsense.
Be glad when we all turn Muslim, then at least the public hangings can start again and women will be returned to their rightful place – the kitchen.
And I’ve been accused of being a bit mental?
Contact your doctor, you need stronger meds…
We have your name and number.
The Police Brutality Squad will be round tomorrow, after dark
So long as they bring their own drinks. Could do with a few more burgers as well.
Is signing this wise? Whose going to replace Brown? Harriet Harman? Better the devil you know
Who cares? One down then several more to come.
Apparently there is now a petition calling on Gordon Brown to resign on the Downing Street web site.
If you want to sign up, here is a link,
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/please-go/#detail
Sign it!!!
Another change of PM during term will force GE…hopefully
No, I think I’d rather have Harriet Harman.
If you insist on engaging in these deviant practices at least invest in a pair of stout ear-defenders.
I want Brown to stay because he’ll destroy the Labour Party. Harman might just win enough votes to save it.
They’re definitely fiddling it, the number signing has gone down since I last looked.
I actually went to the bother of checking my name after it was accepted by email yesterday – Guess what – it was not on there.
I have since signed up again and will re check
I also noticed the number dropping today. I have posted about it here.
If they are trying to fiddle the numbers then they are playing a very dangerous game as that would be the one thing that could elevate this story to the top of the news agenda, especially just after Smeargate.
Just checked mine – and its still there.
(You have to go to the bottom and click ‘Show all signatories’)
I suspect there are a lot of ducks paddling like hell in the background to keep the thing running and ditch the obvious fakes. They are going to be very busy in the next few days.
Brown won’t take any notice of course, but it will make great copy for the papers.
Just checked – I’m still there. So is Ed Balls, David Miliband & FIVE variants of Tony Blair.
It’s probably just a crap site that doesn’t refresh properly, or to do with caching. I get different values at the same time on laptop and desktop. (Shit, have I just given them a plausible excuse)
But all govt. IT normally works so well
Never in the field of financial competence have the many owed so much because of the few
Read the last 500 names on the petition and then read again later.
No Mohammed’s, no Patel’s etc etc.
So much for multiculturalism and diversity.
No Waynetta Slobs, either.
Perhaps it shows that it is the white middle classes who voted for Nu Labour are putting the boot in after trusting them the last couple of times?
This won’t in itself force the bugger out of No 10, however many sign. It will make his final months in unelected office yet more unpleasant than they would have been, though, so worth it anyway.
I note the deadline for signing is just exactly 2 weeks before ….. Guy Fawkes day! Bonfire of the hoons day, as it will become known.
Just hovering 7 signatures below 7K at this moment.
Agreed but it’ll give ‘em some idea of the “tsunami” that’s gonna hit them in the polls – and June 3rd isn’t that far away and that’s nothing to what gonna hit them when Brown gets the bottle to call a General Election – hopefully they’ll be less than 200 of the “toerags” in Parliament after that 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
But Unite might just stop signing cheques.
Yes the unions cane do that but Brown would just pop up the mall and create armageddon for Labour. The party nor the unions would risk it well not now and if they did despose of him withiut the Mall taxi ride and can’t see JoeProle allowing two shoehorned PM’s
Fecked either way mate and who would want the poison chalice of taking Labour into the wilderness.
7,089 now.
A bit OT but does anyone else think one of the new McDonald’s toys looks like Gordon Brown?
(The green one “Missing Link”)
Labour will soon dump the clown when the election draws near, this way labour can disown all their crimes.
My bet is on David Miliband going on to take the fight to the tories.
Nah, they brought back Mandelson, they can bring back Dennis Healey, he’s got the experience.
Is Michael Foot still alive?
Then if even for the interests of justice the Conservatives should go for Millibrat now. He lied to the Courts about UK torture complicity. He lied about The White House refusing to play ball on Security Services information. He lied to the House of Commons many times on this issue.
Then go for their big sacred cow – Bliar. What did he know about torture? Try him for the war criminal that he is.
Don’t forget the Treasonable acts of surrendering Sovereignty.
He can’t It’s not the school holidays, his mum can’t allow him anymore time off otherwise she will end up in Jail because of the sheer number of times in the past when he has sneaked out of school to do Sky News Interviews ect.
If you look at the section on the petitions website anout the PM, his miserable contibution has been signed as’ Girlie BANA’ with what appears to be a piece of coal.
Why does he do this? If I close my eyes, I can sign my own name with a normal pen.
Is the need to ‘make your mark’ with mud, coal dust or excrement indicative of ones mental state?
Its gained another couple of hundred.
an earlier one reached about 900 then seems to have stalled so this one is obviously touching more of a cord.
Cometh the hour cometh the petition !! More and more people are starting to see exactly what this Prime Minister and Government have brought the country to – Bankruptcy and Collosal Public Debt but yet still persist in NOT being straight with the electorate who now want shot of him and them – once the mainstream media start highlighting this – numbers will rocket you watch
The Express and the Scotsman are on to it. I wonder how long it will take the rest of our dozy media to catch up with this story.

Whats in a name? Most black names are indistinguishable from white names. You need more than just a signature to tell someones racial identity. And aside from that what does it matter? People are so fixated in pigeonholing people by race, religion, gender.etc.
Mmmm. Not sure; here’s a picture of Gordon giving a speech at the ZNL recent Spring Conference
http://www.labour.org.uk/spring08/gordon_brown_speaks_to_conference.
What do you think?
LOL
But let’s face it, it is not just him, it is the whole crew.
Jacqui Smith – either hugely incompetent and/or a crook.
Tony McNulty – ditto.
Jack Straw – whose name discribes the value of his principles.
Ed (Grommit) Miliband – robot.
David Miliband – alien
Harriet Harperson – warped feminist with dodgy personal connections.
Tessa Jowell – crook or financial incompetent.
To name but a few.
The weirdest one is ‘Blears’. Great, Dickensian name for the worst minister in human history.
She is poisonous. She is another who sacrificed whatever principles she possessed.
I am not concerned about looks however, or most of them would have to be taken out and shot.
Agree. Tempting thought, though.
I’d just like to state that there are no similarities between myself and David Miliband. He’s obviously from a galaxy far far away…
Oh I don’t know – he has done a good job alienating many people!
Milibanana is quite a slippery juvenile and hopelessly adolescent , overpromoted and overconfident, deserves a large fall.
Ah, yes, Jack Straw – a particularly repellent, repulsive reptile of New Labour, esconced in his Ministry of Injustice and dreaming up new ways to criminalise the free English.
How does it feel to be detested Straw – you orifice?
A unique ID for free Britons to use the internet so you can track them? You can shove that where the sun don’t shine. My Dad and his Dad fought for British freedom. I will too. And there will come a point where your Common Purpose stasi will be just about as legitimate as the SS. They will be on the wrong side of right and then watch out.
You forgot;
Peter ‘Hat trick’ Mandelson
Vaz;
Blunkett;
Cambell
Blair (s)
Blears (Squirrel nutkin) – just for being a ninja parrot and looking smug all the time
And don’t forget Neil ‘EuroSponge’ Kinnock
Gorbells Mick
Ed (Picochio) Balls
Have we missed any yet??
No I hadn’t forgotten – I just wanted others to join in.
I have sent links to many in my address book including Alan Milburn’s PA but she has probably already done it!
24,278 people voted for Brown at the last General Election in Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath ….. getting over this figure would be great!!!
Not only that, it would make it the most popular petition. It’s at 7354 as I type this, almost a third of the way there!
On a lighter note …………
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/list/open?sort=signers&offset=4650
So sad……….
I’m actually disappointed, as I expected a far greater response to the petition. This suggests sheer apathy even amongst those utterly sick of Brown. In that kind of environment even Brown could win an election.
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.
because she was in reality ‘elected’ by the Salford Labour party and then became a ‘shoo in’ in a very safe labour seat.
one of many.
previous marginal seats have been corrupted into being Nulabor by ‘bribing’ the local electorate with money they previously never had nor should they have had.
This is a deeply corrupt Government.
Nos cranking up faster again. Perhaps only an extended teabreak or shift change 7354.
No sense of occassion that lot….
Priorities people!!!
Maybe if you can get it into five figures by next summer he’ll have to call an election?
Hmmmm, he’ll have to call one by this time next year anyway, times up.
Unless he calls a state of emergency… that can’t be discounted I suppose.
Just a thought whilst watching this paint dry…
Given that this petition was started pretty much after the offices closed for the weekend, and its the sort of sporting Saturday that send us of to the offy whilst ‘er indoors hammers the visa, I think it boades will for Monday morning.
In fact damn good for the first flurry, don’t you think?
Sent to all of our local editors in the North east.

Apparently there is now a petition calling on Gordon Brown to resign on the Downing Street web site.

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.
@120
Good man!
I tried punctuating the ‘Brush yourself down’ topic over on Labourlist, theyre not having any of it though… *sihh*
Nice to see that so many folk are munching their Prozacobix for breakfast…
Thank you.
Local press up here are so up the arse of nulabor it will just get me hated even more and probably have the local Council attack me again.

thanks the local press are so prolabour we will not get very far but you never know, they will probably launch the attack dogs of the local council on me again!!

That’s it, elections are off.
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.
Do you think somebody else should point the gun?
Well Guido, I’ve read it several times now and I’m jiggered if I can see anything wrong apart from spelling not upto standard but I’ve never been moderated before except by the BBC HYS and then not for anything slightly iffy
How come….??
(sniff snifffff…)
Ta everso Guido (dries eyes, blows nose).
Will use Oxford Concise next time
I have this as my Facebook profile, will be running it on nabidana.com and will be virally spamming the shit out of everyone I can to make this happen.
Why haven’t you signed it, Guido?
He doesn’t live here.
This must surely mess up the tax receipts for Gordon..
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8018693.stm
poll 7,500 ish now… just noticed again the tick boxes:
must be a British citizen or resident>>> like they got a fookin clue whos here anyways????
What will he throw when he reads it?
Hazel Blears?
Another reason to sign the petition!
More budget misery: Small businesses hit, again
Moe hidden aspects of this bloody budget seem to be crawling out every day.
Nothing to do with small businesses. Just hitting second home owners who make their home ‘available to let’ for 10 weeks a year. Smacks of Jacqui Boots tbh. I know darling. We’ll buy a Cornish cottage and claim the mortgage interest against tax. And while we are about it we will prevent locals from being able to get on the housing ladder
Hoons
“Gordon Brown, meanwhile, continues his use of anti-terrorism laws to freeze Icelandic assets as a security against Britain’s missing billions; all Icelanders have been able to do about that is buy T-shirts saying “Brown is the colour of poo”.”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/iceland/5221188/Iceland-votes-after-the-economic-meltdown.html
The response is frankly crap. I’m appalled. I signed fairly early on and the saw this pathetic trickle of 300 or so per hour since. What the hell is wrong with people in Britain?
We have been politically neutered, Who needs politicians when we have the EU?
Now le’ts get down to the Benefits Office and get what owing to us.
Given New Stasi’s previous, perhaps people are simply afraid of what might happen to them.
Signing that petition was the first political act I have done in pushing 50 yrs of life, apart from voting Tory in the last council elections. Was always of the opinion that there was no point voting as the government always get in….. all changed now tho. Smeargate led me to this blog, then to the others, which really opened my eyes to all the stuff that the mainline media dont report. Damm you Guido … lol.
I still think there is a distinct possibility that the petition has been manipulated. Given the exposure this has had I can’t understand the small number of respondents
I just signed up (17.00 EDT) and now ‘they know where I live” in sunny South Carolina.
Will I get through immigration unscathed in June or will I be extraordinarily rendited?
I signed up as no. 7755. Since then 4 more have appeared, but the number of signatories has reduced by 4 (from 7756 to 7752) rather than increasing by 4. I wouldn’t put anything past this lot.
Confirmed. This petition is rigged. I’ve just been checking with the people on my contact list I sent this to and ask to sign. 14 people added their name and details to the petition, 3 have actually appeared on it. These entries were done yesterday and earlier on today so should have been entered on by now.
You have to do more than sign to get your vote to count. You also have to click on the link they send to your e-mail address after you sign.
YOu are right though that the numbers are not going up as quickly as names are being added.
He will be going soon anyway and it will be his own party that will see to that. Then the next and far more significant petition must appear – ‘Give us an election now.’
Two unelected Prime Ministers in a row from this lot would really be adding insult to injury.
Just in case someone hasn’t yet seen this – mental!
Fuck GCHQ stand up and be counted. ” All that it takes for the triumph of evil is that good men [and women] do nothing”
It is at 8,172 as at Sunday 08.22.
PS: Of course they’ll cheat and lie about the figures. This is the UK government we are talking about.
try adding to it……………..

I too am surprised at the ‘slow’ response, only 8,308 as I type. Is it possible to set up a parallel petition somewhere – away from No. 10 so that it can’t be tampered with, for comparison?
Now 10.05am figure is now 8380. Does anyone really believe this petition only got 80 votes in half an hour? I would suspect that the petition is being tampered with!!
I agree. I’ve been monitoring it since yesterday afternoon. Something’s going on and the MSM should start asking questions.
Time Count Increase
9.30am 8308
10.00am 8380 72
10.30am 8454 74
11.00am 8538 84
11.30am 8610 72
12 noon 8688 78
Isn’t this rather consistent for a system that could take 1,800 (one a second) every 30mins.
If the little man who took the big seat without being elected to sit in it won’t go, then Revolutionise yourselves, fellow people. Kick him out, protest your right to a democratically elected prime minister. It’s your right as a voter, is it not?

Thank you all for the support! And a very big thank you to the Register

Let us keep the pressure on!
Just say No!!
Sign it!!

Would Chris Close please piss off! He’s clogging up the comments to the point of boredom
unlike your erudite witty anonymous ripostes………votes over 9000 now.
No, no! Do not sign. We want this creepy, incompetent Prime Minister to stay a few more months. and plunge Labour into even deeper mire.
Let the one-eyed Scottish git stay, for if he removeth himself or is removed there’s a chance the ghastly Lieboreites might get some kind of bounce in the polls.
the website is being blocked-I can’t vote!!
I don’t think they want any more signatures……

Tried to sign up but getting a cache error – wouldn’t be at all surprised if this is Downing streets way of suppressing a vote, wonder what their approach to a general election will be?
Have tried to sign the petition 3 or 4 times in the last hour and get the cache error. Guess Gordon just does not want the bad news, so might be buying shares in the printer company he uses as missiles.

I slogged my guts spreading word about the last ‘you don’t have a mandate, call an election this year’ petition — and thought it could be the one that put the internet on the political map. It didn’t
I just soooooo hope that this is the one!
Curious thing – the number of votes seems to have gone down by about 150 since lunch time. Nothing sinister I am sure
)
Silly me – too much red wine with dinner obviously. It’s gone UP by 850!
Nearly at 10k, next update it should be over.
The No 10 server is very slow, too many people signing that they want Gordon out.
The number hasn’t changed for a while. I wonder if No 10 have blocked incoming mail on that one?! So much for open democracy. Have to wait until next June I’m afraid.
hee hee 10k!!!
1% of the target?
but that should qualify for some press coverge surely?
For f*ck’s sake sign!
Even at 10,000+, there are nowhere near enough signatures.
About 2,000 a day over the weekend. Needs to up the numbers a bit.
Hat tips to Martha Kearny for a brief mention on the Westminster Hour last night and Radio 4 this morning
No links given though
seem to have picked up a bit almost 11000
