It needs 100,000 (or more) signatures, for Parliament to debate it. Currently it's 902,454, so where's the debate?

It’s a new petition-I guess it’ll take a wee while to filter through - but yeah, holding one’s breath for the outcome one wants could be a challenge.

That was really good , i could really laugh . You were describing another element of the expanding dystopia and yet in the middle of the ongoing absolute horrors in Gaza in Palestine and all the ongoing horrors in the world your ability to make me laugh is remarkeable. Just came to my mind 'The Clown' by Heinrich Böll . I try to imagine what it must be for you to write like this. I've been reading you since sometime after Oct 7. Thankyou

"Brit" card??? What a completely shitty pseudo-"patriotic" name. I'd be ashamed to have one.

"Twit" card?

I'm not British, so I could be wrong, but wouldn't this be more apropos?

I’m sure I’m not the first to suggest “Shit card”.

Israel WILL get that choke-chain onto you all, before you figure out how to shake off Keir Starmer.

This reality not satire. Only you could put a cheeky spin on soul murder. Kudos.

Maga would flip out in America if even Trump tried to do this. A spy app to track down anti zionists and others.

A few would flip out but I think they would accept it. I should say “will” since I think it’s coming if we don’t stop this entire juggernaut. All the administration has to do is tell them it’s to protect them, as Laura says, from immigrants and trans people.

Yea that is true. The Trump personality cult would smoothe everything over. They are horrific and are exactly what the Chinese government uses to track people.

Excellent. This one made my day Laura, and I couldn't agree more with Mike Yeadon - rather starve and die than signing up for the BritCard. I guess Starmer will be flooded with love letters after this flirt with Us The People.

As long as the card has a crusader flag printed on one side and the Israeli flag on the other - oh and plays the National Anthem after every transaction it's bound to be a winner, innit?

Although this is another confirmation that they are afraid of us, it will be a photo-finish race to see who "wins".
