another e-petition rejected

jim h · 18-08-2007, 07:06 AM

I am not doing well at present my 4th e-petition rejected in less than one week but it amuses me the reason given given I picked this fact up from a reputable newspaper clearly it touches a nerve in number 10

"I'm sorry to inform you that your petition has been rejected.

Your petition was classed as being in the following categories:

* Potentially libellous, false, or defamatory statements

If you wish to edit and resubmit your petition, please follow
the following link:
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/PM-e-peti...sJfDrTNIgAutnB

You have four weeks in which to do this, after which your
petition will appear in the list of rejected petitions.

Your petition reads:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to: 'explain why
details of the top ten e-petitions at the end of each week are
not read by him so that he knows what the electorate are
concerned about'

It is reported that although the e-petition site was created by
the PM's office he so lacks interest in it that he does not
concern himself with the contents/progress of the e-petitions
submitted ,even the more succesful ones. It should be expected
that a PM interested in democracy would be very interested in
such a means of democratic expression.

It has all become a bit of a sham that site. No scratch that, it was a sham from day 1. Even the popular petitions are ignored in full.

Well, to be fair, it does cast a shadow on his name.
Can you prove that he doesn't read the petitions?

Simple, instead of having the PM in there, change it to the Labour Party - you can't commit libel against a political party.

E-petitions were created to stop the sometimes newsworthy sight of someone walking up to the front door of no 10 with sacks of mail.Now with a press of a button the little people just go away.
