Thread Name: PEL : Hardcopy Petition
Subject: RE: PEL : Hardcopy Petition
guest,


'However, I find the scare tactics of saying that music, song, dancing [will be]forbidden a little disconcerting. They won't be forbidden at all. Don't be so stupid.'

you think so- you couldn't have read the proposals in detail.

i mean why do over 20,000+ people have such a great fear of the proposed legislation?

they're not burying their heads in the sand!

i believe it right to spread information in as many directions as possible.

considering there's been scarcely any mention of this issue in the popular media, don't you agree that it's better to tell people about it, more than once is better than not at all.

armed with my hardcopy petitions, i was at a singaround in wallasey, merseyside last week. scarcely any of the other folkies there knew anything about the pel issue.

i explained it to them & collected over 20 signatures.


if its any help to enhance your understanding of what's involved have a look at the musicians union's latest statements.
