Blog. A look at the Stop Hs2 campaign's new petition.

[Snapper]

I've not blogged about the stop Hs2 campaign for a while as it's collapsed. But on Thursday they launched a new online petition which give me chance to crunch their numbers & see what's happening on the phase 2 routes.

Their numbers are bad, very bad...https://paulbigland.blog/2017/09/25/sto ... ver-learn/

While I fully support HS2, and don't agree with the petition's claim that this is a vanity project, I'm not really convinced by this analysis. Stop HS2's mailing list is inevitably going to be dominated by people who are directly affected. Any publicity they get will also be through local press who are primed to take an interest and local opposition groups. With that being the case the small number of signatories is bound to be dominated by people in those areas.

I'd just settle for the fact that 6000 signatures is a pathetic tally for a government petition and leave it at that.
