Re: Road Charging petition

This has been running for some time now and has just started gaining momentum. I just heard on the news that there are now 150 signatures a minute going on.

Currently, there are just over a million signatures to this and already the Govt are running scared of the issue. It was deliciously described by a journalist today as: The Poll Tax on Wheels! Brilliant! (This was the tax system that helped to bring Thatcher down, for the benefit of non UK members)

Tories have already pledged to scrap the idea and so I think that finally, the down trodden much abused peasantry are making their voices heard...

It's about time. It's only taken a thousand years for these buggers to take any notice of us.....
