Now is the time for Westminster to get theirs. Its Pay Back Time.
All you drivers who have been unfairly penalised in the course of your daily work, or perhaps you've been "Taxed" for using the loo, now its time to get your own back. Help the bikers take on the revenue rakers and council bully boys. You just know you'll feel better, so pleas give generously.
The British Motorcyclists Federation is calling on all UK motorcyclists, no matter where they may live, to support the No To Bike Parking Tax campaign (NTBPT) against Westminster's on-street parking charges for motorcycles. A strong supporter of the NTBPT campaign to overturn the parking charges imposed on motorcyclists by Westminster City Council, the bmf say that with a ruling last week that the High Court may have got it wrong in judging that the charges were legal, and with what was said to be 'a good prospect of success at the re-trial', now is the time to really get behind the campaign.
But with the Court of Appeal Hearing listed for mid-March, there is a desperate need for legal funding. The fund has already passed the £5,000 mark, but at least £20,000 will be required for the appeal case to be properly presented.
If every Taxi driver gave just 75p we could make up the difference.
The bmf's Government Relations Executive Chris Hodder, said: "Make no mistake about it, this is not just a London issue, the High Court ruling that Westminster's parking charges for motorcycles are legal could well signal the end of free parking for motorcyclists across the UK. That's why this case is important, that's why this funding is important, and without it we cannot succeed."
Fund donations should be made to:

How about a tenner each (I'm in) so we can get a top legal team aginst these bandits, Be sure Westmonster will be spending the taxpayers money on the best our money can buy!
We might lose, but we MUST fight!
