I've signed up to the wonder of e-petitions
'While admittedly funny in a 10yroldschoolboy kind of way (mine howled with delight as I ranted), the flippant petitions seem only to have limited uses: to discredit the process (which oddly must be the prayer of the initiators) and to provide cheap fuel for commentators.
Meanwhile I'm still wondering what happened to my suggestion for a Carbon Legacy (posted about a day before the road-pricing hit the tarmac, so I guess they are still on back log O/T at petition central - or simply pushing the trip out to kill the whole thing PDQ) as an alternative to the much resented Treasury blackhole-borne excess of the IHT limit. It seemed/s an equitable solution to the various extremes being advocated (and gleefully covered at the expense of many with more merit), and one that offers a genuine sense that one's bequest goes to improving both the future of one's direct descendants as well as society as a whole.
