Expired!

My epetition to the Home Office "No to 10,000" expired today. It read: "About 10,000 foreign and Commonwealth men anually were using marriage as a means to live and work in the UK in 1979, when the newly-elected Conservative Government promised to end this concession. It did not. As a result, some 300,000 men live in these islands through having found someone to marry. The e-petition calls on the present Coalition Government to close this loophole." My epetition totalled 76 signatures. Meanwhile the epetition about keeping out Romanians and Bulgarians continues to grow apace. It now has 150,379 signatures.
