Default Road Tax, If you drive a car please read, This is genuine?

This is genuine?

If you drive a car, please read -

Sarah Kennedy was talking about this proposed car tax scheme on Radio 2. 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 tell anybody about it. Therefore at the time of Sarah's comments only 250,000 people had signed it and 750,000 signatures are required for the goverment to at least take any notice.

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 are concerned about this Orwellian plan and want to stop 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. Sign up if you value your freedom and democratic rights -

Thanks,

James

11am news says there are now over 1 million signatures but TB and his minions won't listen to just 1/60th of the population when they stand to rake in so much cash from duty and fines.

I signed a while back but we need EVERYONE to sign. Still don't think TB will listen, and don't even get me started on "Wee Dougie" Alexander the Part-Time Transport Secretary, Part-Time Scottish Secretary" and Full-Time diddy who slagged someone else off by saying it wasn't possible to do two things at once!

Paisley buddies should be deeply ashamed that him and his sister Wendy grew up among them - though I suspect they may have been bullied as children.

Good Post Jenwood, any chance of renaming it, "Sign the Bloody Petition" would be my suggestion, this is important stuff!

I have signed it however: 'gets ready to quote python'

Your fooling youself mate, we live in an elective dictatorship

Comment above though, dont have to give full address? House number and postcode gives full address these days, not having a dig just saying....

And finally, you can all sign this but how many of you actually go and vote. If you want to get these fuckers out you need to vote them out. Then we can have some different twats running the country. Same problems different approch, I welcome it, im more than ready for a change of scenery.

Big Brother is watching always, Orwell may have been a bit premature with his prediction, but that man is a fucking genius. Totaltarianism is coming.

Hit a million signatures last night.

But they don't car, they're still going to try and go through with it.

People keep telling me we live in a democracy.
