Sorry, this is a petition that I had meant to publicise a while ago (hat tip: Nullifidian).
Basically a bible bashing crackpot took out a frivolous court case against the BBC for the “Jerry Springer – The Opera” show and lost. In losing he has been saddled with court costs which are really not cheap. Now, the slimebag has decided that it would be the “decent thing” for the BBC to waive the costs and, in effect, all the British licence payers should fund his pointless posturing. This is the message:
I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed:
“BBC and Avalon must NOT Waive Springer Costs”
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/bbc_springer_green?eI really think this is an important cause, and I’d like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It’s free and takes less than a minute of your time.
So, if you are a British licence fee payer, please take a trip and sign the petition.
The guy is an asshat. Do you think, had he won, that he would have waived the costs to the BBC? Yeah, right. That would have been too Christian.
That is the most frustrating thing about it. If this dirt ball had of won, he would have tried to milk the BBC for every possible penny.
It is shameful what some of his supporters are saying – don’t they know lies make baby jeebus cry?
I think the BBC should waive the costs only if Green will agree to appear as himself in a BBC adaptation of the case. Which I would write.
Great idea!

If the BBC waved costs it would come under constant attack by other frivolous claims because if THEY lost they could claim they should be favoured in the same way.
Great. Burn Christian, burn. Petition signed.
