(Ok, probably not the same Christian Cox, but still....)

Christian Cox has signed the petition:

Christian Cox (cyclists should be allowed on the pavement as well)

I have no problem with the fact that Christian has signed the petition.

Christian Cox (cyclists should be allowed on the pavement as well)


I was referring to Christians advocating dangerous behaviour.

Just had a quick look. This is number 63 in the list sorted by age -
i.e. there are 62 petitions created after it (out of 7349) but is
already in the top 500 of all petitions on the site.

If everyone who responded to the HC consultation signed this petition
it could be in the top 100.

(I don't actually expect it to do any good but I've signed and managed
to recruit a couple of others to sign. This one http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/NoVATonBikes/
is in the top 50)

Tim.

Thankfully, it's now more popular than "Make Jeremy Clarkson Prime

Yup. Looks like hitting 2000 today, and into the top #100 in the next
couple of days, I think.

Currently 2722, and number 95. That's 700ish in 2 days 9 hours.
