Dear all,
I wouldn't normally send something to everyone, but I'm sure nobody wants this new tax - especially those of you who need your car for work. The link is genuine.

Are they not already collecting duty on every gallon of fuel, vat on every gallon of fuel, road tax, vat on almost everything you buy, are we not one of the most taxed nations in Europe (much of it by stealth taxes), are you not already monitored virtually 24hrs a day eveywhere you go with cctv etc etc - when does this stop? Hell they may as well tag us all like criminals! This must not be allowed to happen!
Democracy in action?
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 Mum 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 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.http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/*******************************************************
