Recently I have signed a few petitions on line to help protect various things that I feel very strongly about and it seems that they have been quite successful.
The government has now decided to do a U turn on selling the woodlands and forests which is our heritage and should be kept intact for future generations. One of the others was to gain more funding and protection for the RSPB campaign to protect our future by the encouragment of wildlife friendly farming and this too has been successful so far but will be ongoing too.
Then there is the Big Fish Fight which is to address the scandal of our fishermen being compelled to throw back perfectly good fish that they have caught above their quota (the fish are dead) because of stupid rules and regulations laid down by the European Union.
As long as people keep fighting for these causes then we can make governments change their minds.
What our fearless leaders forget is the fact the the people ARE the government and you can do as you wish. Those stupid laws are to be changed. That extra fish would feed a lot of hungry people.
