Rather than arguing that Marple shoppers should have 'residency qualifications' before being allowed to sign a petition (which is a bit ridiculous, I agree!), I'm more interested in the validity of the (supposedly) 7,000 signatories described here by Miss M:
Lots more signatures again today for our fast growing petition which has now over 7,000 What A Team !
No doubt like many of us, I have now been approached a number of times by clipboard-wielding MIA people, asking me to sign their copy of the petition. No-one has yet asked whether I have already signed it or not............
Just a thought.
