Help?
*** represents lack of specific understanding of proceedure, but you should get the jist.
We, the undersigned, hereby demand the following changes, and an indeterminate number of us pledge to refrain from consumption of food until such a time as we require hospitalization and are relieved of this obligation, and for those willing, beyond this for as long as necessary, until the relevant minister (The justice minister or the Women and equalities minister, see which of you gets the credit) *** instructs the relevant committee to pen a new sexual offences act to be put to parliament with (at least) the following changes; ***
A person (A) commits an offence if—
(a) he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis,
(b) B does not consent to the penetration, and
(c) A does not reasonably believe that B consents.
Shall be ammended to;
A person (A) commits an offence if -
(a) They intentionally envelop or penetrate the genitals, anus, or mouth of another person, and
(b) (B) does not consent to this penetration, and
(c) (A) does not reasonably believe that (B) consents.
Furthermore, we demand these acts be categorized as the same offence by all government funded organizations for the purposes of statistics collection, policing, imprisonment, justice, education, victims services, and OfCom and other media watchdog guidelines, and this should also be included in the ammended act.
The undersigned shall, if they wish, gather around places of governance such as the welsh assembly, scottish assembly, and british parliament for the duration of this petitions demands going unheeded, though others may perform the hunger strike from home and are encouraged to update others to their status by social media.
Should such gatherings be disrupted, all are encouraged to continue from home.
(Optional tongue-in-cheek lolthauritarion bullshit)
"Furthermore, we demand that the last mainstream newspaper (listed here) to report on this petition be specifically named in the ammended sexual offences act as prohibited from reporting on any crimes or cases to which the act pertains, with violations of this prohibition being cause for a fine of 10 billion pounds per incident. Should all papers report within 72 hours of reaching X signatures, this provision should be ignored."
Yes i'm dead serious. (Except maybe the last bit.) I've got a couple of blokes already (You won't know who I ammmmm, haha), and we've got a year to prep. At (Or before if it's better) Nov 1st, we post and blitz social media and the papers for Movember, with the strike beginning on nov 19th (International mens day.). Signatories won't be required to join the strike, but the indeterminate number should spook them a bit, in conjunction with the clear validity of the demands.
I'm throwing it here first to see what you come up with in terms of writing the petition. Putting this out there long before is one means of generating buzz.
Even one person doing it should be enough to make the news if they generate a fuss about it, but an actual live UK.GOV petition will have them shitting fucking bricks.
I also have a plan B if it completely flops, but not posting that yet.
It also represents what I think is a fairly aggressive way to take the UKGOV petitions and make them actually fucking useful for once.
The protest will be good in that it's not some vague bullshit, and contains a specific demand (The relevant minister must begin the process of the bill being written.)
I'm *pretty* sure I can get some fuss generated purely from meatworld connections and my town supporting me. With help from here, the MRM reddit, and the ripple effects outward alongside me not actually taking center stage but fading into a crowd, we should see it gather momentum. It's entirely possible this leaves my hands and some other bastard runs with it, that's fine too. Nov 2018.
Enough buzz would see hundred thousand signatures or more I bet, since the media would eat up the hysteria and worst case scenario shit. If we even reach the strike stage before the government caves (A part of the idea is to begin the blitz 19 days before the strike to give the government time to cave in before the strike, thus getting more people to sign without feeling like they have to do it.), perhaps a few hundred, maybe thousands, who knows. If celebrities get in on it, we're done.
What I need you're help with, is writing a good petition. (And maybe a tagline.) Anyone in?
(If you want to real-world coordinate, that's fine with me. message.)
Even if it's just me and a few chaps, having the petition out there might help.
