OMG I saw one last week. They need to wait until at least the day after Halloween I stg. I love Yule, and all the other varieties of it, it's my fave to the point I am a little elf helper with tinsel and jingle bells on, but the corporations are too much with it.
I couldn't find the original source that alerted me to it but I was able to check and confirm the committee was selected and the petition site back open to the public much faster after the Dec 2019 General election by comparing en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...web.archive.org/web/20200306...
Yh it's baaad in the UK. Starmer used a grieving mother who lost her trans kid to hatecrime to make it look like he was sympathetic but completely abandoned the issue as soon as it was convenient. Labour used to be centre left but after winning the election proved to be just another rightwing party.
It's not simple. There has been no news on building the committee since the chair position was filled on the 9th of September. There is political feet dragging that needs to be investigated because the committee should be made of multiple party members and from past info it shouldn't take this long.
Well, they can email their MP but I've never seen any report of that achieving anything beyond getting a condescending pat on the head response. The UK system is designed to disempower the voter and it's only getting worse since the prior government practically criminalized protest.
They can't, the MPs don't care abt constituents after they gain power. Also it has been abt 3 months since the election in the UK and the new government are refusing to select a petitions council denying the public the ability to petition the government by the means they legally have to listen to.

I am currently in university and actually I think it's because our teachers can tell when we are writing about the stuff we like and are passionate about. Tying mythology into it was like your winning move there imo. ^_^
