How do the people of Hackney feel about demonstrations? Are petitions affective in getting things changed for the better? |

We asked people on the streets of Hackney. One lady said that she had signed a petition for Cancer Research and given a pound or two, so that was affective. Mr McCrea, a teacher at Haggerston School signed a petition against a shopping centre but it was built anyway, so it was not effective. |

If I felt really strongly about something, I would definitely do a petition to get my point across

We think petitions are good because they get peopleÕs point of view out and could make a big change in other people's lives. So what do you think about petitions? All images from AP, AFP, PA and GETTY |
