‘Nearly’ has an interesting meaning here – over six weeks of reviewing a petition of fewer than 60 words. Many petitions, and I do hope this one, take much less time to reach 100,000 signatures than they do to get reviewed by the Petitions Committee. It’s about Badgers, by the way.

I guess they may be hoping that the furore over the extension of the cull to so many new areas involving a big increase in the number of badgers to be culled will have died down sufficiently for any petition to fail to reach the 100,000 mark….or is that being too cynical?
Nick – maybe too cynical, but it might have that effect.
