From the website;
Petitions have long been sent to the Prime Minister by post or delivered to the Number 10 door in person. You can now both create and sign petitions on this website too, giving you the opportunity to reach a potentially wider audience and to deliver your petition directly to Downing Street.
So let me get this straight - The man who can lie about anything he chooses, from WMD's to Peerages for cash, has set up a website to save you, the taxpayer, the trouble of generating those old fashioned paper petitions. You know, the ones where
you get to frame the question the way you want it,
you get to keep the evidence of signatures,
you don't have to provide your name, address, and contact details to a Government body confirming the extent of your planned sedition.
to stop the destruction of the Royal Navy and spend the defence budget more wisely
"More wisely" ...what does that even mean and in who's opinion? "Destruction of the Royal Navy" - are we talking about capital assets, manpower, morale, fighting spirit? For goodness sake, this is so vague and generic, when some anonymous MoD spokesman announces that the sale of some rustbucket to El Hondoragua has been cancelled, as a direct result of a public petition signed by X people, and henceforth the Royal Navy has been saved, should we all be pleased with ourselves? The Government can simply use this anyway that takes their fancy. "Signing" the petition simply lends credibilty and and currency to a morally bankrupt Government that has proven on many occasions that it will do anything it damn well pleases.
If it walks like a Duck and quacks like a Duck, it's probably a Duck.
