Just signed. Can honestly say I wasn't happy about the need for my post code, is there a necessary relevance for asking for it, maybe a poll attached. Could that be the problem, as we all are keen to guard our ID here.
Very understandable concern, TT, I always pause at the post code. They would argue, with some justification, that the petitions are for people living in the UK to petition the government, so to prevent multiple bots and foreign attacks to influence gov. policy a post code provides traceability.
I gave my postcode and it linked it to my MP. I didn't mind - they know where I am anyway - I've written to him enough times. I think it's just verifying your signature is not duplicated. I guess, if you are worried, it's best not to sign.
Wonder why it's so slow - maybe people don't want to add their name to it (disappointing) or think it's a waste of time. I say do everything to fight this, however small.
I think it very possible that many of us believe that this government is out of control or should I say has taken complete control and will take no notice whatsoever of any petitions like this! It would need to obtain a figure in the millions to have any chance.
Yes, Libby, the petitions against lockdown are extraordinarily slow, I think it is most likely to be because Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc will be suppressing them, as they do all facts/opinions they don't want seen. Currently this censorship is under investigation in US congress & possible prosecution/litigation. It is also possible there is braking going on at the petition sites. It is inconceivable that these petitions are reflecting actual feelings about lockdown, cheers

ZJ - I'm going to publish in a new thread if you don't mind - messages tend to get lost when they're further down.
