Tony Blair’s “Number 10″ web-site has opened an online petition engine. I wonder if our luddite Prime Minister has even been told about this? Anyway, here are the petitions that I’ve e-signed…

Scrap the proposed introduction of ID cards. Of course!

Encourage the reduction of household waste by requiring producers and retailers to meet the disposal costs of their products and packaging, instead of passing these on to consumers and local authorities. One of my bug-bears.

Ban within government-funded schools the promotion or practice of any particular faith or religion. and Abolish all faith schools and prohibit the teaching of creationism and other religious mythology in all UK schools. There’s a theme here.

Build a world leading cycle lane infrastructure.

Legalise cannabis. I’m against drug laws on principle.

Resign immediately. They didn’t have a “turn yourself over to the ICC for war crimes proceedings” petition.

Levy a tax on energy inefficient light bulbs so that their long term financial and environmental cost is visible in their retail price. A small, sensible measure.
