    Nope, but on the off chance that this does get the required 500 signatures to generate a letter, then that is yet another tree heading for the recycling plant.

          Not a hope, more like.

          Their basic thesis is wrong - it's not about stopping ICTs it's about stopping abuse of ICTs, and two of their quoted supporting reasons are totally wrong. If you're going to campaign for something, at least get the facts right.

              Which bit of It's not about stopping ICTs it's about stopping abuse of ICTs is unclear?ICT's have a valid purpose, but bringing in donkey coders is not it. Point 1 of their suporting statements in irrelevant, Point 2 is untrue, point 3 is bollocks and point 4 is marginal at best.

              This is a bunch of people making money out of ICT abuse and its supporting industries trying to protect their own interests: I'd rather we looked after UK's.

              Incidentally, have a Google of a random selection of the signatories. Amazing how many have close links to immigration and relocation services...

                  Up to 169

                  It's looking better now, still nowhere near the 500+ of the savetheICT petition. I posted links on another board yesterday to try and encourage take up. Surely we can reach 500...

                    Latest two signatories:

                    •Bob Shawadiwadi
                    •All ICT are fraudulent - Give us our jobs back
                    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
