Thank you very much in supporting my petition based on the belief that fundamental change is now required to restore public confidence in Government and the ongoing integrity of our essential infrastructures, healthcare and other public services.

However, having had discussions with MPs and the leaders of other campaign groups, it is clear that beneficial change on the scale I am proposing is unachievable without the huge levels of resources I simply don't have access to.

I have therefore decided to abandon my petition (that I actually raised more for my grandchildren rather than myself).

Thank you again.
