Proclaiming success!!! E-petition reaches the 10000 threshold.

And we have signed 10000 times

And we can sign a 1000 more.

Based on the song, 500 miles by the Proclaimers to whom respectful apologies are offered!  The above words fit quite well actually even though I say it myself !

I've been going around the house singing the above words most of the morning. Tense time as the signature total crept up. The Ladies' Curling match at the Olympics didn't help either, ( but  excellent effort GB.)

Well , folks, we're there!  10000 signatures achieved and a written response from Government now anticipated . Well done to all concerned and sincere thanks for your support.

But let's not give up. Let's keep the subject alive until the 27th and really indicate the extent of feeling held against the persecution of raptors and those responsible.  Just for if you happen to have missed the fun previously , here's the link where you too can add your own signature to those of the many remarkable people who have contributed to the above success.

Licencing upland grouse moors and gamekeepers.   Keep on signing, please!

Following the petition's closure on the 27th there's much to be thought about as far as further action is concerned, but I'll be putting out entries on the Blog to keep people up to date.

Again, many thanks everyone.
