Why would that prevent you signing a petition? We are after all, for the time being UK citizens with a vote for a UK MP. They take our tax money, we are surely allowed to express our opinions in exchange. It is also my understanding that Dundee, Abeerdeen and Scottish LUG's, have amongst their memberships a number of students some of whom may well be English. -- John Seago GNU/Linux Registered User No. #219566 http://counter.li.org/ ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
