Thanks Goldstinger - whilst it was my idea and I identified an original petition - the latest petition was taken up by Lebugue-addict on the Greatland Gold board and I just promised to support and replicate it on other boards - just like Dazzle and others have done. Thanks to all supporters.
Signed. Well done for the initiative Redirons and his backing group ;-)
Can do no harm and makes sense to cut out manipulation.

Where do you sign
@turnstone and Brombarb, villa01, red irons et al. All for one and one for all. United we create a standard against a greedy and insidious enemy.
A good example of good (if you call them good) people doing nothing and letting evil suffice, is that recent news event in America where a poor lady got raped on a subway train, as “good people?” did nothing well actually they filmed it over 27 stops on their phones until an officer got on board and did the right thing. Isn’t it a crime not to report a crime if you witnessed it? Rant over
Thanks Villa, Brom and Turnstone and extra thanks to Dazzle for going above and beyond!!!
Done Petition Signed...

with you Daz
Big thanks to all those who have signed the petition its free so no obligation to click on anything that you don’t want too. Please keep sharing this, I’ve posted the link on a few strategic LSE fuse big guns like Rio tinto, shell, rolls Royce, glaxo… etc as they have big trading/trader volumes. So think smart and be polite when linking the message as it will hit home better.. and may change some of the more ardent shorting minds out there..
Remember for evil to exist, is for good investors to do nothing. Sitting on yah laurels and morals being a safe won’t change a thing. By standing together we make individuals a stronger majority in which our voices are heard, in which an act can be change.. best regards

Guys!!
A pivotal moment here! Agreement *and* politeness overwhelms!
Anyhow, I've signed. Anything to help tidy the mess up, in my opinion.
Lol Cbaron - it’s your choice - I’ve unfiltered you to give you another chance but any signs of your old self and you’ll be back in the bin for good - smiley face!!
Red,
Don't get too comfortable, I'll be back to my 'warped agenda' soon enough! ;-)
Thanks for letting anyone who had filtered Cbaron (myself included) that he/she signed the petition - fair play to you Cbaron!!

Well done for signing… I can’t remember where i found an article on the deeper darker trickery of the deplorable and ghastly side of shorting by hedge funds, when ever i find the article i will link it.. but for example remember not long ago one of our previous joint ventures premier I think it was, were in a spot of bother with one of there lenders who at the same time was shorting them to make easy money. 88e hit condensate and they bailed out on us as it wasn’t what they were expecting..
Whilst we don't agree on many things Redirons, I agree on this and have signed the petition. I generally consider that markets and market forces should prevail, come what may, however, a gamble which can negatively impact fledgling businesses and large FTSE's alike, with potential impacts on pension fund investments, and hence us all, ought to to be controlled if not made illegal. The likelihood of individual shorting actions, historically, was unlikely to have an impact either way, but the potential impact of organised social media interventions makes it a real threat.
Spot on Dazzle - you can lead a horse to water.....!!
Many thanks - Red

No problems, encountered a few hostilities but that was expected. Some excuses by them were ‘ oh and long term ftse positive pump and dumpers aren’t the same then?’ As we know shorting is and should be banned or restricted. Done my bit, lets see who’s got the back bone or not to to sign up to a worthy cause..
Thanks Dazzle - the more the merrier!!! Good luck to you and all true 88ers!
@Redirons fri 20:43
I have signed and have shared this around the bigger traded ftse companies today under “ petition” i just hope that now is a good time fo investors to make a change.

You’re right Rfarfa and all they have to do is sign the petition!
Many complain, but few try to do something about it!
Thanks Blade and Rfarfa - we’ll never know unless we try - good luck to you both and all 88ers!!
Me too, unfortunately however nothing materiallised following this last attempt.

Hi fellow 88ers - if like me you are fed up of how shorting shares operates in the UK then please have a read of the attached petition and sign it if you are happy to and perhaps even share it and post it on other Boards that you are a member of. If you prefer not, that’s fair enough too. Thanks
