EMBARRASSING: Gordon's poll of shame
Sunday April 26,2009
A DOWNING Street petition calling for Gordon Brown’s resignation is proving a huge hit with the public.
The petition, posted on Friday on the official Downing Street website, simply asks for the Prime Minister “to resign”.
By mid-afternoon yesterday it had attracted 6,500 signatures and if it continues at the same rate it is likely to become the site’s biggest petition next week.
It was posted by Kalvis Jansons, a mathematics lecturer at University College London. In a statement accompanying the petition, he said: “There are many reasons why we might want Brown to resign but rather than having lots of narrow petitions on this topic (most of which have been rejected), I wanted one for all of us.”
Downing Street employs staff to vet online petitions but they clearly missed this one and any attempt to remove it now would merely create extra embarrassment for Mr Brown.
