Petition to sack Pat McFadden Postal Minister

[terrace]

Have set up a petition on the Downing St.website to sack Pat McFadden ,Postal Minister.He is ultimately responsible for any government involvement with Royal Mail. Very hard to find out who he was since he was very quiet during the recent dispute-typical of Labour Government to keep the public in the dark.
Here's the link for the petition
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/PatMcFadden/

and here's his own website

I think what he's doing, is deliberately waffling to spin debates out , making sure that other MP's lose interest and of course making sure noone with a opposing view gets a word in edgeways .

The usual tricks putting things on at awkward times , where there's a will there's a way . His Whips & New Labour must love this careerist MP . It all serves a purpose .
