anti road pricing petition

applet

well I can only speak for myself, but I found the post useful.

It would have been spam if it was trying to sell me timeshares, or something irrelevant to the topic.

I don't see how you can separate politics and money related issues anyhow - one influences the other.

This may be a chance to voice the opinions of the masses, having had no success trying to contact any one on the team, I ask you to read below, and if anyone has time to investigate your comments would be welcome. This is a potential massive tax / fine grab by the Revenue. Voice your opinion now!

So new people just re-posting is classed as repeated spamming.
