Petition against Travel Tax

#1 Post by Kwackerz » Thu Jan 04, 2007 1:13 pm

Found this whilst looking on another site I frequent ( link to thread at the Site I found it discussed on: http://www.arrse.co.uk/cpgn2/Forums/vie ... 54684.html )

Allegedly the BBC had stated it had been shelved (the plans for the taxation) However we dont think it has!

The headline of the Petition, which has in excess of 80 thousand signatures:
The idea of tracking every vehicle at all times is sinister and wrong. Road pricing is already here with the high level of taxation on fuel. The more you travel - the more tax you pay.

It will be an unfair tax on those who live apart from families and poorer people who will not be able to afford the high monthly costs.

Please Mr Blair - forget about road pricing and concentrate on improving our roads to reduce congestion.


And finally, the link to the Petition:

I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"
