What's the point ? They won't take any notice.

Millions of people signed the one about road pricing and they're still going to do it.
The only reason they haven't brought in the legislation is they haven't worked out the technology.

These on-line petitions are just a con for people to let off steam. The Government know that the vast majority of the population want at least a referendum on the European Constitution but do they give a toss ?

They know they would lose and they're not going to take any notice of what the voters want.

From the RSGB - national society representing radio amateurs in Great Britain -

"An e-petition to the Prime Minister’s office, originated just before the Easter break and entitled “70cmsband”, has generated what might be described as a “lemming like” response from the amateur radio community.

Unfortunately the basis for the petition has no foundation in truth. The RSGB currently enjoys a good working relationship in negotiations with both Ofcom and the Ministry of Defence, where 70cms and other shared bands are concerned. This type of disinformation could undermine the relationship.

We would advise members and non-members to check the facts with the RSGB, your national society, before adding your name to such petitions. This could avoid any embarrassment."

We can all relax then and get back to car building
