Flight Tax - Fight Back

Moonlight_2

The doubling of Airport Passenger Duty (APD) from 1 February 2007 will contribute an additional £900 million a year to the Government's general finances, with APD in total raising some £1.8 billion per annum - none of which is committed to environmental projects. We call upon Gordon Brown and Tony Blair to dedicate this money to projects to mitigate the environmental impacts of aviation.

Signed it but you're wasting your time. Gordon Brown doesn't give two hoots what you think just as long as he's robbing you blind. How else would he get all that money to flush down the toilet?

If enough people sign the petition, they will have do listen, if we do not try then they will think they can do it again and again and again...

This country is turning into an unliveable state. Its pretty laughable.

But in concern to passengers what is the increase? £5 per flight (return) or £10?

To sit back and do nothing,wringing our hands in helplessness,means we will deserve whatever they throw at us.

Unfortunately this will still be ignored. War in Iraq, look how many people opposed that, there were protests in the streets,(I can't see this happening with how Airline taxs are used) and STILL we entered into the Iraq war, so sadly, although I will sign this petition, it will probably be as successful as a bacon seller in Jerusalem on a Friday night.

Don't forget, as well, that Gordon & Tony have to find £7M for that vitally important programme to show Civil Servants how to keep their desks tidy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive asked people to sign the petition in my profile and so far over 1200 people have and still nothing and thats for the goverment having a hand in killing over 2000 people and drug companies using people for experiments without thier permission. I have signed and hope it does some good but not holding my breath. No goverment cares
