Not sure how valid this is, but check out the content of an email that I was sent today; if it's all true then the country is in a terrible state:-

Radio 2 talked about the proposed Road Pricing car tax scheme on the radio. 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 the comments only 250,000 people have signed it so far and 750,000 signatures are required to stop them introducing it.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

On top of this massive increase in tax, you will be tracked.
If you care about our freedom and stopping 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.

Unfortunately I think they can (and probably will) ignore it no matter how many people sign it rolleyes

Signed it myself ages ago though.

I think this subject must have the record for the most reposts ever!
