Fagburn: I Will No Longer Allow This To Happen!

No longer content to stand idly by and suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune I has decided to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them, and so I has started one of those incredibly effective e-petitions on change.org.
Let's stop this kind of thing once and for all!
Remember - unheard clicks from a mouse can cause tidal waves on shore.

E-Petitions: Please Ignore This Post

Leading e-petitions at 7pm yesterday:

* Petition to retain the ban on Capital Punishment (3,241 signatures)

* Keep Formula 1 Free To Air in the UK (1,501)

* Restore capital punishment (1,421)

* Legalise cannabis (577)

* Britain wants referendum to leave EU (564)

* Absolute right to self-defence within ones [sic] home (380)

* Return of Hanging for Serious Crimes (333)

* Decriminalise recreational drugs (270)

* Remove the ban on gay blood donation (233)

* Formula 1 and other sports events (221)

The Independent.

I do hope everyone will boycott this ludicrous populist distraction.
Or start the most ridiculous "e-petitions" they can think of.
Starting sensible ones about ending the gay blood ban won't make any real difference to government policy, and just give credence to all the "Bring back hanging for paedo drug dealers" Daily Mail bollocks.
Incidentally, does anyone remember the Peter Cook film, The Rise And Rise Of Michael Rimmer?
It's about an advertising executive who becomes a smooth/smarmy Tory MP and begins ruling via endless opinion polls.
Daft, I know.

Guido Fawkes: Bring Back Hanging!

Great to see Guido Fawkes one-mad-man campaign to get Parliament to restore the death penalty is gathering momentum.
Admittedly it's all a completely pointless exercise as it's just an e-petition on some stupid website that David Cameron set up as a populist gesture and it won't lead to a vote, but quite frankly that's all by-the-by.
You might think one of Britain's leading political bloggers might have an inkling how these things work, but there you go.
Anyway, whatever, Fagburn thinks it's a great idea.
Hanging is banging!
Let's do it.
And why stop there?
Next let's:

1. Recriminalise homosexuality.

2. Take the vote away from the womenfolk.

3. Bring back bearbaiting.

4. And slavery.

And remember: It's the only language we understand.
