There is one already up and running . I've just signed it .

Petition to: Reduce the rate of fuel duty.

I was thinking more along the lines of a petition of "no confidence whatsoever in the ability of the Labour government to actually run the country".

Education - Failed
Health - Failed
Economy - Failed
Military Adventures - Failed
Europe- Failed
Sport - Failed

Spin - passed
Misappropriation of public funds - passed
Breaking manifesto pledges - passed
Imprudent borrowing - passed

But apparently I'd be gagged by the police state before I even started.

(Sorry)

Yay!

This is stupid!
They advertise these mtsubishi glorified school runners with low co2 emissions so I suppose they will be cheaper than the S?

I think it's time for a Dooper!

Did they reduce the VAT on brand new cars like the new Cooper D and lower emission cars?

Its time for a change, get these blood sucking idiots out. An environmental fact for you. If every single factory, car, appliance, heating system etc was shut off permanently in Britain, the difference would be irrelevant due to Chinas growth in a 13 month period. So these taxes are pointless and will only be spent on some pointless cack like everything else this government does. Its time for people to stand up, viva la revolution!!!!!!!!!

Agreed - Britain's contribution is almost negligible but what is wrong with being a beacon to the world? You can have fun along the way, BMW has proved that.

Now hang on, its not the fault of the Chinese or India etc, its the fault of those who give them the the ability to sell their goods. IE the West who want cheap consumable baubles to covet in their gated luxury residences

[Mejy Poo]

It's all swings and roundabouts

India and China are going through their industrial revolutions just like Britain did

Hey I did'nt say it was their fault, i just said it was a fact. My point being, drive what you can now as we are all screwed, so you might as well have a laugh while you can.

Thats right, leave our legacy of profligacy and waste to those who follow us to sort out

Sorry, but we only have ourselves to blame
