The number of signatures is only so that it will be debated in parliament, not that anything will be done about it!!

Glynisrose, I0,000 signatures will get a response. 100,000 signatures are required for a parliamentary debate. Negativity doesn't get anything done either!!

How come we haven't reached 10,000 yet? We have 38,000 members? Plus family and friends. Odd

Trouble is a lot aren't actually active members and won't know about it as HU won't mass email the petition on behalf of TUK :(

Life is a combination of Both Give and Take. Anyone who has ever had cause to come to this forum with their problems has probably taken much in help and advice from others who were here to befriend them and share their knowledge.

Surely,putting ourselves out to sign this petition and share it with our friends and family is our opportunity to " Give " something back.

Wouldn't it be great to think that our persistence had in some small way helped to improve the treatment and medication made available for future sufferers of Thyroid Disease.

Maybe not Glynisrose, but I think once that cat is out of the bag it will be harder to ignore, anyway, it's a good start and better than doing nothing 😊

Getting even a smidgeon of publicity is better than not bothering to do anything at all!

If at first you don't succeed...

I have shared this yet again on face book, it really is a struggle to get people to understand, so now I am texting on my mobile all my contacts to ask them to sign! Bev.

Thanks Bev. I was underwhelmed with the lack of support from my non-roidie friends, selfish lot but good fun.

It looks like the Facebook police may have removed the link to the petition that I had posted as it states it might have been removed when I tried to amend the post. I will see if I get any respons from friends..and if not will post a question on my page seeing if anyone has seen it Strange after all the vile and offensive stuff posted on Facebook that is not policed .

Clutter profile image
Clutter in reply toHezziet

Hezziet why not try reposting it, it may just be a glitch. Can't see any reason why FB would remove it.
