https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903

More people have signed this than the membership of the labour party(!)

The whole country could sign that petition and it will be ignored. There is no legal/political solution to this. The sooner people accept that the better.

Nonsense. Promoting the petition and keeping talking about the law is one of the most effective things that can be done to make life uncomfortable for the politicians who are responsible for this mess. More pressure is needed and politicians will have to face journalists asking unpleasant questions when people continue to complain.

They frequently ignore these petitions, especially when it comes to privacy, freedom of speech, surveillance etc.

When you do get a response back from these petitions, they are frequently either don't address the issue properly or you get some gaslighting response back.

My pessimism has be undefeated thus far.

I am sorry this is utterly naive. Have you've seen the responses from Politicians so far? They basically call anyone that opposes them a paedophile.

I wouldn't put any faith in the journalists either. Most either work for the state directly or they have corporate masters.
