Yep -no doubt this will now be crossing some official's desk to draft some kind of response now it has had such a significant response. Although for the sake of managing expectations it might be a bit blander than some expect, maybe along the lines of 'HMT takes issues of confidentiality and security very seriously and strongly condemns any lapse in the high standards we expect of all our staff. However it would be inappropriate to comment further while the issues raised are likely to be subject to legal challenge.'

Just a wild guess from stuff I've seen previously on other subjects.

Bad news guys, i added my sig, i added my missus sig too and we confirmed the verifications we were sent to our email addresses, however we received confirmation our sigs were added but the number hasnt changed!!!!

what is going on there then?

the one we signed is

http://epetitions.di...petitions/42143

edit: the number was 13,886 before we added each other, and after confirming it all it has remained 13,886 even after refreshing the screen several times?

is there an inside hatchet job with the numbers or something? please someone have a look and see if it happens to them too, if so we could be thousands of votes down for no reason other than the site failing!!!!

Can anyone confirm if we can sign on someone's behalf, provided their consent is given?

I have various older Bears in the family who don't use the 'net but care just as much as the rest of our support.

I'd like to see, for our next home game, a wee note from Rangers or the Rangers assembly encouraging fans to sign the -e-petition. Get a wee message up on the big screens encouraging fans to sign.

morning bears what is the count now.

http://mailinator.com/ provides an instant, disposable email. When filling you the petition if you register the email as something like "mothersname@mailinator.com" - then visit http://mothersname.mailinator.com it will take you to that disposable inbox where you can access the confirmation email.

Therefore anyone who many not have an email account, or put off by having to confirm the emails - this offers a quick and handy solution. I'm also unsure if the T&C's of the e-petition allows you 'sign' on behalf of someone else, such as a friend or family member, but if it does... Provided you know their address & postcode this would allow you to easily sign on behalf of someone else without needing access to their email inbox.

Having read the terms & conditions it does not state that you cannot sign the petition on behalf of someone else, but does state that it may contact the person to confirm they have signed it. So it seems to me that it would be possible for us t ospend a few minutes filling it out for a bunch of family and friends as long as they give your permission.

Any bears who are members of other football forums they should post the link there. We have supporters all over the world too, as long as they are British citizen's or have a UK residency they can sign.
