The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but they didn't tell
anybody about it. ..

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of petitions on the web site and it up
to the petitioners to publicise them, not HM Government. However, as the
chances of a petition having an effect on government policy are probably
lower than that of winning a triple rollover jackpot on the lottery,
petitions really only exist to allow the people who sign them to think they
have done something.
