Online petitioning is becoming a serious political force. One that has recently helped whales, the forests, the battle to save the NHS, and now this victory. It has also more widely exposed Cameron as the heartless, scheming egotistical bully that he is. He is also a coward. Let's hope that future petitions in regard to this governments vile policies will have a similar effect - it's early days but people are beginning to wise up at last.
