Backlog: The Mild Madness

Let us now examine the backlog of extant petitions from before I started this blog ... First of all, let's have a look at the highlights of the Mildly Mad. The ones which make, perhaps, a valid point, but hardly seem worth petitioning the Prime Minister for. The ones that makes us think: that's a minor daily annoyance you're going ballistic about. There, there, dear.

• Treat the abuse of ginger haired people the same as any other hate crime
• Change the term "Bank Holiday" to "Family Day"
• "Stop halal meat in State Schools"
• not go ahead with the suggested introduction of CCTV cameras can see through people's clothes (if anyone's seen any news reports about these alleged CCTV cameras, incidentally, I'd love to hear from you!)
• Abolish the £20 note and print more £5 notes
• save walsall (possibly quite a reasonable planning complaint/problem. Shame it's so badly expressed ...!)
• get people to stop bullying to other people (searching on "bullying" shows a lot of petitions asking the PM to support anti-bullying campaigns. Quite reasonable. Why don't people just sign one that already exists? Particularly one that uses decent grammar ...)
• "ban homework for all British school children"
• attend a classical music concert. (much as I like going to classical concerts, why should he, if it's not his cup of tea? For that matter, do we definitely know that he doesn't?)
