I just received an email from a group I joined on Facebook.
"Dear FairFuelUK Supporter
On Friday 30th October and in just 8 weeks, we reached the 100,000 signature count on the Government ePetition athttp://bit.ly/FFUK-Gov (http://action.fairfueluk.com/page/m/4bb55ca7/1795dd67/302532ab/315b0eec/1568610418/VEsE/). This is a vital step in our ongoing campaign to get a better deal on fuel duty. Reaching this 100,000 threshold means that we are now eligible for a full debate in Parliament on this vital issue.
Thank you for all your help and support.
So what happens next? On 11th October, the Member of Parliament championing the FairFuelUK campaign in Parliament, Robert Halfon MP, will formally submit our request for the debate. We will let you know what happens at that meeting.
There is now no further need for people to sign up on the Government ePetition site as we have already reached the required 100,000. However, we are continuing to ask people to sign up to our own website www.fairfueluk.com (http://action.fairfueluk.com/page/m/4bb55ca7/1795dd67/302532ab/315b0eed/1568610418/VEsF/) . Over the coming weeks, we will be asking our supporters to contact their MPs in the run up to the debate to encourage every MP to play an active part and to add their own weight to the battle. The more people that continue to sign at www.fairfueluk.com (http://action.fairfueluk.com/page/m/4bb55ca7/1795dd67/302532ab/315b0eed/1568610418/VEsC/) , the more impact we can have. So please continue to pass on details about FairFuelUK.
Reaching the 100,000 is a major milestone in our campaign. We know that many local and regional press releases picked up the news. However, we were a little disappointed that the national media outlets did not pick it. This shows just how vital it is to keep the pressure on if we are to keep the issue of cheaper petrol & diesel high up the media and political agendas.
Once again, thank you for your support, without which, none of the above would be possible,
Kind regards,
Quentin Willson & The FairFuelUK team

So the UK Parliament is going to debate fuel prices- let's hope there are some folk who will tell it like it is.
