You might have heard of this already, but for those who live in the UK, there's a forum on the prime minister's website at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Esperantist/ asking the government to encourage the use of Esperanto as an international language, which you might want to sign.

Oh well. I wonder if there are any similar petitions around for other countries.

Thanks for that Guy - I've just been to sign it.

Ah it is too bad that I cannot sign this, I definitely would though.

Actually any British citizen can sign it. Those that (like me) live outside the UK have the option of "expat" in the pulldown menu for your locality.

And yes, I've signed it ridulo.gif.

Signed! Even though I live in NZ (and now have citizenship) I was born in UK.

Yep I signed it too, I have dual citizenship. They didn't say anywhere that you had to ever have had UK residency.

I've signed it too.

Though I imagine that Gordon Brown has other things on his mind.

It's very true that Gordon Brown has other things on his mind. The prime minister generally doesn't respond personally, but someone always does, which I think is usually one of the 10 Downing Street assistant type people. I've signed a fair few and the only time I've seen the prime minister personally respond was when Tony Blair replied to a really popular one about ID cards.

These petitions do seem to work quite well at making the government aware of the various issues and persuading them to take action. For example, the new version of the highway code was going to say that cyclists have to use bike lanes when available. There was a petition against that which I signed, and now it's been changed (though there were probably other campaigns against it).
