Downing Street unmoved by protests over 'mega mosque' petition

Number Ten Downing Street have refused to amend a petition on their website threatening "terrible violence and suffering" against Muslims. Scores of outraged members of the public emailed Tony Blair's website manager after a petition was posted which predicted violence unless plans for a "mega Mosque" on the Olympic site in east London was dropped. No.10's webmaster has so far not responded to Blink's protest, but told a concerned reader Downing Street was powerless to change the petition's wording once it had been accepted.
