MP compares petition website users to zombies
Health Minister Simon Burns has got himself into a spot of bother by comparing users of petition websites to zombies.
In comments made at the House of Commons on Tuesday 22nd November, Burns dismissed the efforts of petition sites to get people to contact MPs about issues they’re concerned about, saying: “I think he does himself a disservice, simply joining the rants of organisations like 38 Degrees who are frightening people and getting them almost zombie-like to send in emails.”
His views were expressed in response to a campaign by 38 Degrees members to highlight the risks presented by possible changes to the NHS.
Should you wish to voice your disapproval at Mr Burns’ comments then head on over to 38 Degrees right now.
