Default Us Londoners are having to deal with it, and if we don't get behind the issue we'll all have to pay the tax

This may or may not be known to you all, Westminster council have bought in pay-to-park scheme in london central. This is an unfair tax brought in by Blue nose conservatives as another way to make money from us all. Yes the price is small but it wont stay like this for long.
OH By-the-way. They are planning this nationwide, soon you'll all have to pay to park your bike! Even though we pay tax, even though we use a minute space compared to cars, even though they said it was to cover improvement costs (Blatant lie) etc etc blah blah....
TAKE A LOOK. If you want to support or object feel free but at least take a peak!

I admit its not run very smoothly and don't myself like some of the ways its been run. However its just to show you that the plans have been discussed about nationwide role out. Personally I think the guy who run this campaign is a bit off on his points. That said this wont go away unless we keep pushing them.

This is a good point, weather i'm a fan of how the guys are running it or what they are doing with the money they have raised so far...they are the only ones who are doing anything about it and if we all show apathy towards this then Westminster will have won. Its what they want, for us to fall out amongst ourselves and the cause to dwindle away.

I will try and make the demo if i can.

Nice one, turn it in to a little political rant.
Take a look around; the political hue of the local authority means nothing when it comes to taking your money.
