Has anybody else heard about this i got a email asking me to sign a petition. heres the email

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 you can expect a NIP with your monthly
bill.

If you care about our freedoms and stopping the constant bashing of
the car driver, please sign the petition on No 10's new website.

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/traveltax/

Please pass this on to anyone who owns a car/motorcycle. It affects
them.
Heres the bbc link for more info http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4610877.stm

The thing that bugs me is this

This government want all mothes in the workplace right so as I'm my circumstance i drive my children to school because i go straight to work after it now i only earn £90 a week on an everage if these things come to pass i would lose £20 in charges plus petrol so thats another £20 on plus car tax another £10 a month

so what am i left with £40 so out of that i provide my children with clothes school meals and trips is there any point in someone like me going to work if all my wages are being taken up in taxes then I'm sorry theres no point is there and I'm sure there are many other mothers and fathers who feel exactly the same

My mom always said THE RICH GET RICHER THE POORER GET POORER

Maybe if all these so called politicians lived life in the real world and actually paid for stuff out of their own pockets then maybe they would understand where us so called " working Class" are coming from

Sorry for the rant but this makes me mad >:( >:( >:(
 
I wonder if it would actually work out cheaper for some people. I noticed it does say this

Current charges of fuel tax and road tax would be scrapped.

Considering 80% of petrol prices is tax, if they are going to remove that tax completly it will make petrol very cheap indeed so might balance itself out. Obviously if you are someone travelling on busy roads during peak times it will probably create a massive dent in your wallet but I guess for some it may work out cheaper. It would all depend on exactly how much they are intending on charging per mile. A stupid idea in theory though, I would imagine it would put quite a few people out of business as they rely on travelling during the day ::)

I cant see it. Since when have they scrapped any sort of tax? They just keep adding more. If i was on benefits i'd get more money then i do at work and all my bills would get paid for me. I love to work and see people and feel good in the fact that i am helping to provide for my family. If they keep putting tax on everything(no doubt they'll be one on breathing next!) i will be forced to give up work because i simply and physically can not earn more.

totally agree with you they need normal everyday poeple in goverment not these upper class over paid over sexed and over rated idiots, now what I could do with some new laws

what law would you change or invent?
any animal abuse punishable by death
no more taxes on stupid ideas like your homes if you have conservatorys etc or we'll all live in slums
tax only people with above £65,000 wages
no more immigration unless they can support themselves if its good enough for OZ then its good enough for us,
any immigrants commiting offences are instantly deported
alcaholics and drug takers to get the help they need to become clean and stay clean
fox and any hunting 100% now and forever banned prison if break law,
parents accountable for their off spring only after all help refused
I could go on and on, lol

Agree with all of the above.
Continuing on with the law, 3 strikes and you're out. No matter what the offences.
Change the way the so called prisons are run, and make them proper prisons!
Longer sentances.
I'm sure there's loads more!
 
oops yes 3 strikes and you are out and def prisons should be prisons and not holiday camps and bann all open prisons what the heck are they for anyway, if you are in prison you are in prison not having days out etc oh paedophiles castrated, any more you can add ?
 
More money into NHS dental care. I just had 2 teeth out under sedation on Monday and had to wait 1 1/2 years for the privalidge, if I had the money I would have gone private ::)

I agree about the prisons. Norwich prison has just had to reopen the block they were supposed to be refurbishing because they needed more cells, the paper reported how the cells were "uninhabitable", now I dont know about anyone else but they flaming well should be like that. The scumbags in the prisons deserve everything they get, they are there to pay for their crimes, not enjoy all modern luxuries >:(
