THE SIGNED PETITIONS ARE ROLLING IN.   THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IN THE SHORT PERIOD OF TIME SINCE THIS PETITION WAS LAUNCHED THE NUMBER OF SIGNATURES OPPOSED TO THIS LONDONERS ONLY OLYMPIC TAX NOW EXCEEDS 8,000 AND THEY ARE NOT ALL FROM THE BEXLEY BOROUGH.

WHAT IS ENCOURAGING IS THAT SIGNED PETITION FORMS ARE COMING IN FROM MANY LONDON AREAS PROVING THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF LONDONERS OUT THERE WHO RESENT THE WAY THIS OLYMPIC DEAL WAS STICHED UP (IN 2003) BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND THE LONDON MAYOR WITHOUT LONDONERS CONSENT AND WITHOUT ONE WORD BEING MENTIONED THAT LONDONERS WOULD ALSO HAVE TO MEET A SHARE OF ANY OLYMPIC FINANCIAL LOSSES.

ACROSS LONDON, FROM LEYTON - WALTHAMSTOW - WIMBLEDON - ROMFORD - ILFORD - BARKING - DAGENHAM -NORTHOLT - HOUNSLOW - HAVERING - CHARLTON - CHINGFORD - WOODFORD - WALTHAM FOREST - FOREST HILL - BARBICAN - ISLEWORTH - BARNET - HILLINGDON -UXBRIDGE - MITCHAM - ENFIELD and GREENFORD THE SIGNED FORMS ARE ARRIVING DAILY AND MORE ARE EXPECTED FROM OTHER LONDON AREAS ONCE THE FULL IMPACT OF THIS SO-CALLED "GOOD DEAL" FOR LONDONERS SINKS IN.

WE WANY AS MANY SIGNATURES AS POSSIBLE SO CANVASS AMONG FRIENDS, RELATIVES, NEIGHBOURS AND MEMBERS OF ANY CLUBS YOU ARE A MEMBER OF.       SPREAD THE WORD FAR AND WIDE ABOUT THE DEBT LONDONERS WILL BE FACED WITH IF THE FIGURES PUT FORWARD BY THE "EXPERTS AND POLITICIANS" PROVE TO BE WRONG BY THE TIME WE GET TO 2012 (as other Olympic Games estimates have proved to be).

WE ARE FINDING THAT ONCE LONDONERS ARE FULLY AWARE OF WHAT OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES HAVE ACCEPTED ON OUR BEHALF THEY CAN'T SIGN QUICK ENOUGH.

PUT YOUR COLLEAGUES IN THE PICTURE AND POINT OUT THAT IT IS NO LONGER THE PRICE OF A "NUT CRUNCHIE" BUT THE POSSIBILITY OF YEARS AND YEARS PAYING OFF A SHARE OF THE FINANCIAL LOSSES (does anyone remember being told about the debt at the time the deal was drawn up in 2003 - or even at the time when the London Bid had been accepted by the IOC ?)

IF YOU ARE IN ANY DOUBT ABOUT LONDONERS SHARING THE LOSSES WITH THE LOTTERY, AS PER THE "MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING " THAT WAS DRAWN UP IN 2003,  ASK YOUR M.P. ABOUT IT, AFTER ALL THIS " MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING " WAS DISCUSSED IN PARLIAMENT AND YOUR M.P. SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST UNDERSTOOD WHAT IT WAS LETTING LONDONERS IN FOR IT WHEN HE/SHE  ACCEPTED IT ON YOUR BEHALF.

PLEASE KEEP THOSE SIGNATURES COMING IN.     GOOD LUCK.

SAY " NO" TO THE LONDONERS ONLY 10/12 OLYMPIC TAX - AND "NO" TO ANY OLYMPIC DEBT
