Marcus Rashford’s petition
Have you signed Marcus Rashford’s petition on free school meals? I have, even though I am quite persuaded by the argument that there are better ways to spend the money to help the poor at this time. But it’s a relatively small amount of money and even if some of it was wasted it’s a…
Badger petition update (6) – three weeks
Comments Off on Badger petition update (6) – three weeks
End of Week 3 and our e-petition has passed 64,000 signatures at a rate of 1,300+ signatures/day for the last week. Derbyshire Dales still leads the list and has passed the 400 signatures milestone. Stroud has reached 300 signatures. Last Thursday there were 10 constituencies with over 200 signatures now there are 24. And it’s…
Heading to 60,000 signatures
The Wild Justice Badger e-petition is heading for 60,000 signatures. I always think that’s a more useful milestone than 50,000. At forty-something thousand, people think you’re halfway there, and at 50,000 you are, and then at fifty-something thousand it still feels as if you are ‘about halfway’. But at 60,001 there are ‘only’ 39,999 signatures…
Badger petition update (4)
We are at the end of the second week of this petition and it has passed 55,000 signatures. In the last week signatures have been adding at 1000/day. This demonstrates how very angry many people are about government’s assault on one of our most loved native mammals. Inhumane Badger slaughter is not a vote winner….
E-action or inaction?
If you took place in the Wild Justice, Hen Harrier Action, RSPB e-action then I wonder whether you have had a response from your MP yet? I know that quite a few people haven’t yet, and that is pretty poor. I think there is a preponderance of Labour MPs in the non-repliers but that’s just…
Teetering on the brink of 50,000 signatures
The Wild Justice e-petition against the Badger cull is within 100 signatures of that 50,000 threshold which represents the half way point to a Westminster Hall debate. The petition closes on 24 March 2021 – today is Day 9. I feel we are like3ly to getto 100,000 signatures eventually. I can tell you now, I’d…

We are approaching the end of the first week of this petition and it has already passed 47,000 signatures. This demonstrates how very angry many people are about government’s assault on one of our most loved native mammals. Inhumane Badger slaughter is not a vote winner. Four days ago there were only four constituencies with…
Badger petition update (2)
We are approaching the end of the fourth full day of this petition and it has already passed 37,000 signatures. I think this demonstrates how very angry many people are about government’s assault on one of our most loved native mammals. Two days ago there were only four constituencies with over 100 signatures and although…
Badger petition update (1)
We’re still on the second day, in fact we are nowhere near 36 hours into this petition yet, and we are heading towards 20,000 signatures. Thanks to all who have signed. Every Westminster parliamentary constituency has recorded a signature; the last three were South Antrim, Wolverhampton South East and, as usual, Barking. The constituencies with…
