Graham has added the following to the petition site.

NB - if you are not a UK resident we still value your support and your opinion. By all means sign the petition if you have a genuine interest in live music in the UK (IE performer/festival goer/etc) I don't know whether or not HM Government will recognise your signature - so if you feel the need to sign please leave a comment on the (Yahoo) forum stating your interest. I will submit these along with the final petition.
