I just received this email saying that the response “did not respond directly to the request of the petition”
You recently signed the petition “Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state”: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/659071
The Petitions Committee (the group of MPs who oversee the petitions system) has considered the Government’s response to this petition. They felt the response did not respond directly to the request of the petition. They have therefore asked the Government to provide a revised response.
When the Committee receives a revised response from the Government, we will publish this and share it with you.
Thanks, The Petitions team UK Government and Parliament
Honestly it’s cute that you think that the British government give a damn what you think. They are incompetent and corrupt, why would you possibly think that they would have the mental capacity to effectively respond to this petition?
The Conservatives only care about profit, what you’re asking them to do is legislate against businesses. They do not do that. They are not going to implement any pro-consumer laws because that just gets in the way of making large sums of money at the expense of everything else.
You’re right, but all I see is condescension and complaints with no solutions.
What have you done to improve the world lately?
Banging your head against the wall is not a solution if banging your head against the wall has no possible hope of having an effect.
Your body is an engine that turns useful words into grating screeches.
Yeah whereas you’re doing loads
So nothing but bitch. Gotcha.
But the petition isn’t going to work so you’ve also done nothing.
It already has done much more than you give credit for. People are talking about it. More importantly, legislators are talking about it, which is the first step for things for laws to change/clarify what it means to own a digital product in the UK.
Well, I don’t live in the UK, so it’s not for me to sign, and I wasn’t talking about this specific thing.
Have you helped anyone lately? Try it. It feels better than bitching endlessly online.
You’re right. Everythings fucked, why try at all lets just roll over and take it.
Yeah because I said that didn’t I.
Jesus Christ doing pointless stuff is pointless. I’m all for action that is effective but petitions on the government website have literally never achieved anything in the entire history of the system existing.
So what would you do instead?
Complain that other people aren’t doing anything, apparently
And your suggestion is what exactly?
