Dear Sir,
I wish to protest in the strongest manner that you have removed my heartfelt message of support from Mr Blair, apparently under the assumption that I was being somehow disingenuous or malicious in my efforts. I am well aware of the fictional television character who bears my (admittedly unusual) name, and I have sufficient problems with the amusement it causes certain classes of people on a daily basis. I would like to make it clear that I am a staunch supporter of Mr Blair, and I applaud your website's efforts to stand up to socialist elements of the party. I hope now this matter has been cleared up I can expect to see my name return to your laudable petition, so I can demonstrate my support to my friends and fellow party members.

How's that?
:D Excellent. If they pull my J. Thomas, they'll be getting something similar.
 
One of mine made it on... wordplay on a fast food outlet.

They've got a lousy 15 or so on the list so far today, several of which are confirmed pranks and more of them highly suspect :)

Good enough I reckon :D

One of my friends Ms. Twoll Zagud has been firing off angry messages in her somewhat broken english accusing them of being "rasist" for not including her foreign-sounding name! She's not happy :(
 
Mr Harry Roberts may also be getting in touch. "Wassup? You got something against multiple cop killers? :mad: " Must be something in the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act that allows him to post his support for Mr Blair (from beyond the grave)

He's still alive, isn't he?
Well, there's absolutely no reason why they can't stick his name up then!

Might be confusing reality and books. Ian Bone had him being shot by the Bill at the end of his (Booker longlisted) novel, 'Anarchist!'. Did he actually get out of prison? He must have been one of the longest serving prisoners ever.

My alter ego, Ming the Merciless is steadily getting more fame than I'll ever know :D

Shame they left out his alter ego (classic) - and essential details like these names, er, not being on the site.

Quick, everyone link to the keepingthefaith archive (thusly, with "keepingthefaith" in the link) to get it above them in googlerank!

Given that this is now so much bigger than the original petition, I think we should find some way of presenting it to Mr Blair ;) Any ideas welcome - physical, electronic... After all, when someone takes the trouble to put a petition together, it should readh its target :)

Mr Tony may have made the odd mistake, but he remains without doubt "the greatest Labour leader of our time" and a PM who has "changed Britain for the better", say the organisers of keepingthefaith, a most commendable website on which the multitudinous supporters of our Great but Temporarily Discombobulated Leader can sign a petition demanding he be allowed to step down "with dignity, at a time of his choosing". Among the countless legions who have flocked to do so are Hackney activists Jonathan MacShane, Sally Mulready and Allan Hillton, as well as arch-loyalists Gordon Brown, Eat My Shorts, David Cameron, Ming the Merciless, Idi Amin, Osama bin Laden, Jesus Christ, Fred West, Anyone Done Jesus Yet?, Milliband Rocks, Jesus Has Been Done Already, Hello Mum, Lorna Will You Marry Me? and Yes Darling I Will. We're sure Mr Tony's very grateful, everyone.
:D

Excellent! I never heard back from Private Eye, it will be interesting to see if it gets in the next issue.
 
who owns that archive? could they change some of the tags (or whatever, i don't know about this kind of thing) so that it's more likely to come up on a google search?

The trick to google ranking is having pages link to you. So if everybody as got blogs or whatever links to that archive it'll rank higher.
