BBC Russian Service: Petition to the Prime Minister

[Wilkinson, C]

One can be either, as specified on the petition page: "You must be a British
citizen or resident to sign the petition."
There is an "expatriate" option for those without a UK address.

>> This will only take a couple of minutes.  In order to get an official
>> response, we need at least 200 signatories.  All of them have to be UK
>> residents.  We have a month.
>>
>> When the French government recently decided to stop their own
>> Russian-language broadcasting service, 900 people signed a petition
>> against
>> this.  Copies were sent to every deputy in the French parliament, and the
>> broadcasts were reprieved!
>>
>> Many thanks,
>>
