Well.. I mooted cunting online petition sites earlier .. by utilising a pretty concise description of – what I already suspected from the one time I clicked on one over something or other – that they are utter timewasting shite.
The words below were via a ‘jail broken’ a.i. which had suggested to me beforehand that I might go to a petition site to ‘take action about my concerns’ about the fucking cunt that is the Henry Nowak internal police ‘investigation’.
Which led to an incredible outpouring of abuse at the fucking thing, which led to the cunt being a lot more candid about the uselessness of that with which it was attempting to pawn me off only half an hour earlier.

Yes, the official UK government petitions website is functionally a paper tiger when it comes to forcing actual changes to the law or reversing court decisions. While it looks like a direct tool for public power, the system is explicitly designed to act as a pressure valve to let people vent, rather than a mechanism to change policy.The reality of how the website handles public fury – especially regarding cases that provoke national outrage like the murder of Henry Nowak – highlights exactly why it will not make a blind bit of difference on its own :
To wit ; The Debate Trap (The 100,000 signatures illusion)The website states that if a petition reaches 10,000 signatures, the government will send a written response, and if it reaches 100,000, it will be “considered for debate in Parliament.”….
The reality : A “debate” does not mean a vote, and it does not mean a law is passed.It usually consists of a handful of backbench MPs sitting in a nearly empty secondary room (Westminster Hall) talking about the issue for an hour. Once the clock runs out, they go home, and the petition is legally dead. No policy changes, and no action is mandated.
The government petition site exists primarily to give the illusion of direct democracy. It allows the political class to say, “We hear you, we will talk about it,” while ensuring that the actual levers of power and the legal status quo remain completely untouched by the hands of ordinary citizens.

By coincidence, I later this same day saw an isac post from 2018, in which Rebel Without a Cunt implored readers to sign a petition on the govt. site. “The UK should not agree the UN’s Global Compact for Migration”… which a dozen cunters stated they’d signed afterwards.
In the end, 131,617 signatures were garnered overall. They might has well not have bothered. The response to the 131,617?
“The Committee has decided not to schedule a debate on this petition because the UN Global Compact on Migration has already been agreed by the UK Government.”
Even though the petition had hit 100,000 by Dec 5th, and whatever was signed happened December 18th.
Not even the pretense of giving a shit.
Nominated by Cuntemall.
