How do you disagree with a petition? (You can't.)

[J. P. Gilliver (John)]

Apologies if you've seen this before.

Have you ever heard of a petition being launched, and thought "I don't
think much of that idea" - but had no way of showing that you didn't?

Have you ever heard mention in the media that some petition you are
strongly against, has reached one of the thresholds (10,000 to get a
reply from government [usually "we are considering it"], or 100,000 for
debate in parliament), and felt rather frustrated that you couldn't do
anything about it - and also been worried that the powers that be might
take action (such as create a new law), thinking that it reflects public
opinion, even though public opinion against the motion might be far
stronger than that for?

(Have you ever thought that some individual or organisation is/are using
their public profile to drum up support for a petition?)

If any of these apply to you, please have a look at my petition:

255soft.uk

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/232770

and please also pass it on to any twitter, facebook, or any other
contacts, forums, or whatever that you are a member of.

Thanks for your time.
