Comment on Wikipedia founder steps in to help UK hacker

Comments

Starting a petition counts as help these days? Lets start a million petitions declaring hunger and poverty to be a bad thing, that'll have the problems cracked in no time.

In USA, the politicians are only obliged to respond publicly on website.

However, in UK and some other countries, a petition would be read out in parliament and get you a response where other members of government could discuss it.

Politicians sometimes respond to petitions. Starving children never do.
