It's such a shake the media attention at the moment doesn't seem to be increasing the signature rate

Every incidence of mass peak trans will push it up. There will be many before September I predict.

The media attention doesn't of itself let anyone know the petition exists. I would guess at least some of the weekend influx was down to one link in the comments in the Sunday Times. I suppose journalists aren't allowed to directly publicise petitions?

I'm watching this avidly too - though there's a disappointing number in my area - although there was a huge (by comparison) leap last weekend.
Need more articles in the Times I suppose.
