Can anyone direct me to a petition that would have taken tax money outta the Gov's coffers that has gone through because they added a signature to a list, Id very much be interested to know.

I would have thought you would have jumped at the chance to save a few pennies tight ass

Latest News ...

In the summer, the Governments of the UK and USA released Oil stocks from their strategic reserves to help push Oil prices down. The hope was that such a move would help lower pump prices. However, reports in The Sun today (Saturday 17th Sept) , appear to suggest that oil speculators may have bought this ‘cheap’ oil, hoarded it on tankers at sea, and then waited for the price to rise before bringing the oil back into port.

One of our main challenges to the Government is that they should launch an inquiry into just who is making the money out of oil, petrol and diesel. It would be unforgivable if oil speculators were deliberately shown to have profited from Government attempts to keep oil prices down.

Our main campaign thrust however, remains the level of Fuel Duty. The economy is in real trouble. Growth is stalled, inflation is rising and unemployment soaring. The Government needs to cut Fuel Duty now. Instead, they are planning to raise it TWICE next year – by about 3.5p per litre in January and the same again in August. These rises will be a disaster for the UK. We are calling for an immediate cut in Fuel Duty.

Such a cut would be a boost to growth, lower inflation and create jobs. We are now only 12,500 signatures short on the Government ePetition site to force a debate in Parliament about Fuel Duty and oil speculation. Please sign it now at http://www.bit.ly/FFUK-Gov

Again thanks for your support

nearly there grasshopper ...

Thanks to the fabulous help of our supporters we are now only 3,400 signatures short of the 100,000 required to trigger a full Parliamentary debate on the scandalous price of petrol and diesel. We are trying to hit the 100,000 target before the Conservative Party Conference this weekend, hence this email. If you haven’t already signed at http://bit.ly/FFUK-Gov please do so now. If you are at work, might you be able to ask colleagues to sign? If you are at home, how about family members of friends?

Please understand that this vital ePetition is on the Governments own computers and website. That means we have no record of which of our supporters has signed. This is why we have had to send out several messages like this one over recent weeks. If you have any problems signing up to the Government's ePetition website, please go to www.fairfueluk.com/epetitionproblems.html

Kind regards
