Yes in my comment above I wondered who or what was behind this petition. But it does seem genuinely to have arisen from a single person's dissatisfaction and "gone viral" as they say. But of course as I noted, this will now be ridden by less scrupulous players such as Musk, the media and other right wing parties, political and self-interested. As I say, the petition and its popularity is itself another symptom of the increasing democratic deficit in the UK.
