Petitioning Tony

I heard about this when the Queen's Speech came out mid-November, but have only just wandered on it properly - an e-petition site for the Prime Minister where anyone can create petitions and sign petitions to Tony Blair.

And yes, in case you were wondering, I have signed the petition that reads
"we the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to stand on his head and juggle ice-cream", because 'if he's not going to resign, the least he can do is provide us with some entertainment'. 1426 signatures at time of writing and the deadline for when the petition closes is August 2007.

Funnily enough, I've also found out more about how you can actually deliver petitions to 10 or 11 Downing Street itself - you have to do it through your MP who will liase with the police and arrange for a small group of constituents to go to the Prime Minister's door itself.

Unfortunately, Tony won't come out and ask you to come in for a cup of tea - the website guidance reads "The Prime Minister never meets petitioners - even if they are cute children or war veterans." Since I'm neither, I don't fancy my chances.
