It wasn’t always thus though, was it? Fixed Term Parliaments Act only came in in 2011 and presumably could be repealed.
Unlikely admittedly. There is a requirement for a government response to this petition. I would imagine it will be along the lines of, fuck off plebs.
If it is, I look...
I doubt it, I think there were only a very few tractors as the police had advised them not to take them.
Just someone being an arsehole, should get done for driving without due care and attention. Hopefully businesses affected can claim off the tractor driver’s insurance.
You're obviously an optimist. Most of the time they do fuck all after a crime has been committed - even if you have evidence. I mean, they will give you a crime number but that seems too be about it.

Great, you agree that there should have been no attempts to interfere with Brexit and Starmer should absolutely respect the result of the referendum - to the letter and in spirit.
The pointless petition is up to 2,116,000 now.
26% is significantly more than 20%.
Nowhere have I said I was happy for them to do pretty much what they wanted to. It could be argued that they weren't actually able to do what they wanted to.
