But it is slow. A big funnel is easiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the petition should have focused more on poor people living on boats, now being charged a tax for keeping warm, that would have generated a lot more support. Completely agree with this. I haven't signed it, the intent isn't clear at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
