Below is a link to an online petition requesting the reduction of fuel duty on UK Petrol/Diesel

Please sign it-many thousands have :D

http://www.petitionthem.com/default.asp ... ail&pet=14

I was thinking of organising either an EMAIL PETITION that dould be sent to the treasury, or more disruptively,

basically spamming all the treasury email addresses we can find with PROTEST EMAILS. :twisted:

If I cant do my job because petrol is too expensive, then maybe they can have a similar feeling

What do you think?


can this get sticky'd mods?thanks

Problem is, I'm sure thousands of other people have done this. Say all the owners websites club together and did, say that's 200,000 people - it's still gonna do f*ck all and the government couldn't give a shit. UNLESS those 200,000 owners who generally use more petrol than the Average Joe decide to walk to work for a week, then they might do something!

thanks lads :D

now about this petition and spamming

gotta get some email addys together so I can work on the petition and word it well....

It can be forwarded to every zoner possible then returned to me so I can send it to the treasury.

then the spamming begins-if 100 of us started sending emails at the same time and for a long time we should block em up nicely :D

You can PM your Email Addy if you want :cool:

thats why i want to take out their email system-if they are damaged they'll be more willing to negotiate :D

as for all the car clubs-thats a valid point

SEND IT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW WITH A CAR

Signed it :thumb:

It annoys me how most drivers moan about the price of fuel but just accept it. If a nationwide protest could be arranged to boycott buying fuel then the government would take notice.

Just a shame the majority of folks are too lazy :(

KEEP OUR E30's ON THE ROAD!!!!!!
How will not garaging my car make fuel cheaper? :mad:

On a serious note, I may sign this later if I get bored, but I can't see how it's going to work. Would somebody care to explain exactly why they would listen to a petition like this?
