There have been huge campaigns putting pressure on the government to back down over this. 38 Degrees is just one campaign group who sent a 150 thousand signature petition to Cameron and shared around 50 thousand posts on FB informing the public about why the government were doing this.

The message from the public came across to the conservative lobbyists running up to Thursdays pole.
