It's a Wonderful World

Tried to put a petition on the No10 website today. It read "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to stop being nasty to bankers." I sleep with a banker, need to keep her sweet.

This is the reply I have just received

Couple of points...The reply starts "Hi...Hi!, this is an official communication from Downing Street for goodness sake. Second, it appears I am now officially classed as someone with unacceptable humorous intent, that must now be a crime surely so I may be going away for a while. And it appears this email reply was not the work of a single person but was a team effort. Well done the ePetitions team, keep up the good work.

Must dash, off to make some popcorn and watch Neo Nazis on the BBC's Question Time. What a strange and wonderful world we live in.
