this is the email i have sent out and i ask the members of this group to support the cause too

at a time when thousands of jobs are being lost all over the uk and others are safeguarded only by people reducing hours or wages, the government is contributing to increasing unemployment by raising taxes. we have seen the fuel duty rise which has a knock on effect with every consumer as production and transportation costs are increased. those costs will be passed on to the consumer which means YOU! we know we have VAT increases on the way plus another fuel duty rise in january. this all adds to the cost of living and at some point the british worker will be faced with working to fund the treasury or give up working altogether as it is just not worth it any more. neither of these options is particularly desirable to me and the governments action during these difficult times has reached a point which is far beyond unacceptable. they put the UK into massive debt and they expect the british worker to foot the bill even though they are well aware that we are struggling to pay bills as it is. i say its time to say enough is enough! i am organising national protests throughout the UK where everyone will have one local to them and as it is on foot this time, accessibility will be open to all whether its a single mother with a buggy or a pensioner with a mobility scooter. i ask you to support me in my support of the british worker with peaceful protests outside every constituency MPs office to send the message to parliament that we are not an unlimited supply of money for them to dip into every time they cock up their finances. we all live within our budgets, its time they did too!

please pass this on to everyone you know to enable maximum support for a worthwhile cause

Got my support ,Scanny ,but unfortunately ,it's not just the Treasury that thinks that we have unlimited resources - this disease permeates all levels of government ,from National ,through county to local with every tier looking at the trend from National on how to raise extra funds(without increasing taxes ) - by making a major crime of misdemeanors---

Speeding - self financing ,and reduces costs at county level as fewer traffic units are needed .
Littering - first step ,remove bins ( for security reasons) then send out council "litter police " .
The list is endless ,but it all follows the trend set by National Government .

I'm now waiting for an office of doggie poo bags to be set up ,to issue doggie poo bags with serial no's and a barcode on each bag ,to be swiped into the few doggie poo bins around to ensure that my dog's poo receipt is logged .( The excuse will be canine toxicaris - fair enough .Meanwhile - I have to ensure that my gardens are clear of cat poo - a source of Feline toxicaris - as deadly as the canine variety -because my grandkids like to visit ).But hold on - dogs need to be wormed to stop this(mine is -and I know where he craps -as I clear it up) -cat owners are only advised- they can train their cat to a litter tray -how many actually do ???? .( But then how will they keep track of the unregistered dogs :shock: :o :? -bit like their record on unregistered cars nes't pas?)

there lies the beauty of my strategy. although the protest is primarily against central government, because they are at local constituency offices you can bring up local issues. i am not restricting anything other than behaviour. i do not want my supporters being arrested but they are free to bring up both my points and their own be it national or local issues. the idea is to gather people together quite literally on their MPs doorstep where the MP will have no choice other than to listen to complaints. its cheap, its local, its accessible and it is less likely to attract the heavy handed tactics that we have seen recently. im looking for discussion, not anarchy. we need to tell them that they are costing jobs with their excessive taxation policies and that is shooting themselves in the foot as they will increase unemployment and therefore benefits claims as it becomes more affordable to not work than to work. we need to point out the damage that they are causing. people do matter!

It's probably about time we started paying for the full costs of transport anyway so this doesn't worry me too much, it's either small incremental rises now, or large jumps later on.

Can't argue on the rest of your points though!

All the best.

haulage is a tricky business. if you charge too much you lose the business, charge too little and you lose your own business. thats why i am an employee rather than employer. the risk is too high for me.

anyway, i have realised further potential to this plan if i can get enough support. placing individual MPs in front of their constituents to answer questions both about national and local issues with no warning of what questions will be raised. plus if i can get people there who know politics, i can be sure that any answers can be translated and countered meaning the MP is truly on the spot. i will also be looking for local rather than national media to attend. during the run up to an election, this has to be the worst case scenario for any MP but thats what they signed up for. if they dont want responsibility then they shouldnt be campaigning for a position of responsibility. this would be a good way for the public to really find out whether or not they voted a rat into parliament or someone who is actually worth something. it certainly has the potential to make or break a political career :twisted:

Yes several ,as has my neighbours -all looking on our gardens as their own toilets. :grumpy:

Meanwhile where my sister lives they all have at least one cat ,but no mess -as cats would sooner use the litter tray provided than dig up a garden .Simple matter of educating the owner .

Meanwhile back to the topic -this present lot don't seem capable of listening to anything .Locally we have been told that the next Labour candidate will be female.When the present MP declared he was standing down at the next election ,the local group declared that only women need stand for election as a candidate .So we might /might not get the best candidate(MP) .And that's Labour logic .
Hate to think what will happen when they start deciding on the ethnic qualities needed .Will the candidates need to produce their family tree to be considered :) :)

Was thinking that some faction might bring in another branch ( or splinter group) :D
