WHAT IS THE PRICE OF DEMOCRACY?WE ARE NOT AS DEMOCRATIC AS YOU MIGHT THINK.

A COLLEAGUE attempted to use the HM Government petitions facility that is supposed to allow the public to petition the Government over issues that displease them and that affect all of us in some way. It is meant to provide the means to influence changes to anything we do not agree or find distasteful over the way our country is run. 
Surely, I would have thought this would be a logical and appropriate way to lobby the Government to let them know that we, the public, are largely not happy by the imprisonment of a long serving member of the SAS, Sgt DANNY NIGHTINGALE? 

But we thought wrong. Having approached the Government agency via the correct and appropriate channels ... this is their response. 

THIS IS NOTHING SHORT OF A COP OUT THAT EFFECTIVELY STIFLES PUBLICPROTECTS OF THIS KIND.

Your e-petition "Release Sgt Danny Nightingale" hasn't been accepted.

E-petitions will not be accepted if they:

• contain information which may be protected by an injunction or court order

• contain material that is potentially confidential, commercially sensitive or which may cause personal distress or loss

• include the names of individuals if they have been accused of a crime or information that may identify them

• include the names of individual officials who work for public bodies, unless they are part of the senior management of those organisations

• include the names of family members of elected representatives, eg MPs, or officials who work for public bodies

If you'd like to submit a new e-petition, please read the site's terms and conditions which explain the rules in detail.
Thanks,
HM Government e-petitions http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/

  1. BROKEN BRITISH POLITICS – DEMOCRACY – ONLY FOR THE PRIVILEGED
    Whilst we are fed dross from Wind Farms are our Saviour to Austerity Measures are a necessity the only People who get anywhere near the actual truth is within meetings of the G20 or Davos .G20 to discuss Social Policy and Commodity Pricing and Davos to discuss our overall Financial Situation .
    Brussels Dictates 70% of our Laws so we are Governed by three separate entities all with their own agendas to be adhered to .
    Our Regime know they and we are living a lie but as long as we are controlled they ca get away with the deplorable .They think we are quite satisfied by catchy phrases and serious sounding Government Departments or groups .A prime example is the Environmental Agency and Cobra the emergency meeting of the cabinet to discuss serious emergency matters .The way both have handled the Flooding crisis Cobra ought to be renamed ‘Dead Parrot’ and the EA renamed the AA the ‘Aquaphobia Apologists ‘ .
    If there was the slightest trace of ‘Sovereign Loyalty ‘Cameron a multi- millionaire would donate the dubious cash for favours he has accumulated using our properties Number 10 and Chequers to set up a Flood Fund .
    Cameron has that many hidden agenda’s it makes one wonder whether he is a mixed clone of Blair Mandleson and Howard .If you thought Blair was a Smiling Assassin Cameron the Descendant of a Slave Trader has nothing on him .
