Will you consider promoting an advertising campaign which highlights the medical risks to children born to parents who are first cousins?

Due to the fact that last month (24th May) Parliament Square had over 50 skip lorries protesting against imposed changes to Landfill Tax and the dire consequences to these business and the building & construction industry.
