In the time it took you to type that reply, maybe you could of signed up, you say that signing the petition is pointless could you please let me know what your response has achieved?

I agree with you but I have signed about 5 or 6 of these thing sin various guises. I protested in 2000 when it hit a quid a gallon. Did it do anything No. What did my post achieve. Nothing. Face. Bothered?
We as a nation can not even agree on who to have running the country yet we whinge when they do stuff. Yes fuel is stupidly expensive, no lets correct that, the Taxation on fuel is ridiculous and the fact that they add VAT on a Duty is just plain illegal.
We have rioted over Poll Tax - Result - Nothing, change it name
We blocked the fuel depots in 2000 - Result - Nothing
The only way we would stop this is if EVERYONE in the uk Stopped using thier car for a week. That will never happen.
Lets have an uprising like Cairo or Bharian etc, that'll sort it
