What the petition asks

FREEZE: ALL RENTS AND LOANS, BANK CHARGES AND FEES, ALL UTILITIES AND EXTEND DEBT RELIEF, FUEL TAX AND PUBLIC TRANSPORT, TV LICENCE, COUNCIL TAX, ALL ANNUAL RENT AND COUNCIL TAX REVIEWS, ALL SERVICE CONTRACT INCREASES FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INTERNET AND TV. ALL DEBT.
We agree with the Prime Minister that it is time to adopt a true Wartime attitude, both socially and economically to win the fight over this invisible enemy. Loans, debts and uncertainty are not acceptable. The time has come to FREEZE the economy. We ask ALL industries to step up and stand together with us, in support of freezing the economy. We agree swift and decisive action can halt the immediate crisis and restore our national community and economy quickly afterwards.
