What other option do we really have in these stupid times of cut backs and increases in tax?

Sorry to be cynical but there is nothing anyone can do about it, we all need it, they know that and the rest is history.

Well thought I'd bump this topic as it's reached 100,000+ and will be debated.

Fingers crossed for sensible debate, rather than hysterical scaremongering that usually occurs from both sides.

Petition is a waste of time, even if it had 1 000 000 signatures then it would not change.
The only way to get the message across is to make more effort than going online and typing your name and e mail address.
You need to get on a bike, or walk more, and leave the car at home as much as possible.
My car has been sat on the drive since last Friday and I have ridden my bike to work.
Only fill up about once a month at the moment.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Petition is a waste of time
Have you signed it?

I have a 52mile commute each day. No suitable public transport and I'm a student, I could cycle it but I'd need to leave the night before and borrow someone elses lungs.

Not saying it'll make everything all better but it's better than nothing and doesn't require occupying stock exchange (I can't afford to get down to it) :grin:

Signed it , but they never bother to listen.

Look at the Iraq war protest. Well over a million in London for it, they still went to war, even though they knew Iraq posed no threat.

If there was a major fuel protest, like there was years ago, they may do something, but can not see that happening. Wasn't that over it reaching 100p? Oh how I wish it was that again now!

The government put laws in place to stop a lorry driver protest on that scale happening again :lipsrsealed:
