Hi everyone, We're now up to 170,000 signatures - a completely incredible response. I've spent the last few days bombarded by media requests to talk about the campaign. And in addition to appearing on everything from the BBC, to French, Italian, Slovak, Japanese and Canadian television, I've written the attached piece for Little Atoms, setting out some of the rationale for Londependence. What's clear from the enormous response is that there is a huge appetite out there for creating something positive out of what is a frustrating situation. And over the next few weeks I intend to think carefully about the best approach to take. Thanks again for signing the petition. Cheers, James (Follow me on Twitter for updates too: @Psythor)
