This is my first time doing a petition so we'll see how it goes! If you have a more popular account than me (literally everyone) I would appreciate you sharing.

You say that the tax will effect small, local farms but surely small, local farms are worth less than £1.5 million so won't be effected (or is it affected I can never remember?)

That's what's weird to me about this. All the companies that hate the archive are... big companies. And surely they wouldn't do this?? If it does turn out that one of the publishers was behind the attacks everyone is going to get very upset.
