    I haven’t ever used it, never signed a petition, but isn’t change.org only about petitions? I can kinda see their reasoning… They may even have had their hand forced to do it.

    Loads of people who want their way probably signed up with tons of accounts to skew the results. If it’s going to work, I guess they need to be able to show that they’re legit, out at least that change.org are doing their best to make it that they are.

    It’s easy to set up one gmail account for example and use it a million times with moving a dot throughout the name or putting a plus sign and anything after the username but before the @ symbol.






  • First of all, they are in a museum that’s only free to visit of you live near that museum. They are already stolen. For the rest of the world that actually owns them, they already metaphorically have ‘some rich asshole who got them and put them on their yacht never to be seen again’.

    For many of the countries that own them, there will be thousands of inhabitants that may never be able to afford to travel to the UK to view them. It’s unlikely that the British museum will ever tour with them, as once they arrive in almost any country, they will likely stake a claim to have their property back.
