Subject: Proposed Road Tax
Radio 2 talked about the proposed Road Pricing car tax scheme on the radio.
Apparently there is only one month left to register your objection to the
'Pay as you go' road tax.The petition is on the 10 Downing St website but
they didn't tellanybody about it. Therefore at the time of the comments
only
250,000 people have signed it so far and 750,000 signatures are required to
stop them introducing it.Once you've given your details (you don't have to
give your full address, just house number and postcode will do), they will
send you
an email with a link in it. Once you click on that link, you'll have signed
the petition.
The government's proposal to introduce road pricing will mean you Having to
purchase a tracking device for your car and paying a monthly bill to use
It.
The tracking device will cost about ¸200 and in a recent study by the BBC,
the lowest monthly bill was ¸28 for a rural florist and ¸194 for a delivery
driver. A non working mother who used the car to take the kids to school
paid ¸86 in one month.
On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked. Somebody will
know where you are at all times. They will also know how fast you have been
going, so even if you accidentally creep over a speed limit in time you can
probably expect a Notice of Intended Prosecution with your monthly bill.
If you care about our freedom and stopping the constant bashing of the car
driver, please sign the petition on No 10's new website (link below) and
pass this on to as many people as possible.

I signed up to this petition off the HSV/Monaro forum about a month ago. I copied the link to everyone where I work and most have done it now. Suggest we all do the same if possible. Doubt B Liar and his evil henchmen will take much notice, they have scant regard for democracy and the electorate, as we well know. But it will provoke debate and be an embarrassment for them at least. This one is worth fighting, IMO

Correct, they've already said they're going to ignore it:
