This may just be a reflection of the fact that signing petitions (especially online ones) achieves very little. Sure you might get a debate in parliament about it but that debate could involve a handful of MPs and take a few minutes, concluding that everything is fine.

Thanks for that, signed. It's absolutely terrifying.
I posted this last night, but it got flagged. I have no idea why.
