• National service - a very bad idea
    National service "conscription" was introduced leading up to WWII and was abolished 15 years after WWII for good reason. It did more harm than good to those who were forced into a minimum of 2 years service. For many it would have been easier to spend 2 years in prison but then they would still have had to do the term of service after. Many got out by faking long term illness, or by suicide but the rest had to get on with it. Those who endured the grueling 2 years of service and survived the regime mentally unscarred were few if any and a generation were brought up by the men who endured their time in service. It has a long lasting and generational effect on society. where cruelty is a tool for training those in service like electric shocks on a lab rat. A reintroduction of National service "conscription", serves for cheap labour for what ever means the government of the day sees fit and with those having to serve, forced to do what ever training the controllers set. There is no benefit for the individual to serve a term of service and no long term benefit for society. although those presenting the bill will disagree it is something that is so abhorrent to any critical thinking free person that someone should be enslaved for a period of time for what ever reason. if you are reading this on face book please sign

  • A CALL FOR A PROGRESSIVE ALTERNATIVE TO UKIP TO CHALLENGE THE MAIN PARTIES
    I am amazed that with all the damage the current Government is doing to our great British institutions, like the NHS, education, public services generally and now the BBC; with all the protests by GP’s, economists, unions, teachers, the government pushing ahead with its privatise everything dogma, we have no new party standing up for the things 38 Degrees members and many other believe in. We need to challenge the political system as a whole, which no longer represents the people of this country, but has become self-serving and the instrument of special interests. If we simply wait for the election in 2015 with no alternative to the current parties, our great British Institutions could be dismantled by then and once broken up and sold off piecemeal it will be very difficult to put the pieces back together. No party is calling for these assaults on our society to be stopped in strong enough terms- not Labour, not any party.

  • NO WAR WITH IRAN
    Israel appears to be gearing up for War in the Middle East by striking at Iran false flag or not. We will not be dragged into this forced Armageddon/World War III with war mongers. The ONLY way forward is Peace.

  • Action On Fukushima Now!
    Chernobyl was a 30% meltdown, it was also 1/3 the size of the smallest containment failure at Fukushima. When you add in the horrendous 'Mox' fuels, the many hundreds of thousands of spent fuel rods and the instability of the whole site with it's six compromised reactors and numerous shoddy contaminated water storage tanks, Fukushima is a monster worthy of attention and great respect, some 20 million times the potential of the Chernobyl disaster. It has already released 10,000 Chernobyl’s into the Pacific Ocean and the Whales have stopped singing completely. Dealing with Japan's leadership and TEPCO'S inability to progress this situation is vital. We are already 3 years into the projected 6 year time frame that will see the complete break down of vital and interconnected systems supporting all life in the Pacific ocean due to uncontrolled highly radioactive releases directly into the Pacific waters. The sheer magnitude of the problem is matched only by the certainty that the type of contamination released from the plant is unsurvivable for anything it comes into contact with, if not immediately then over time. Our World is in fact under the very real threat of being stripped of many of the vital attributes that make it inhabitable and the Nuclear Industry has shown it's self to be completely unaccountable. There is an iceberg of Data supporting my view that should be shared and taken seriously. There has also been a concerted effort to play down the dangers and a sea of misinformation surrounding the issue has been allowed to flow freely around in the mainstream media. So far, even testing and scientific data research has been sporadic and actively discouraged, with any data gleaned thus far being actively spun to render the results less alarming. Air, Land and Sea...Fish, Grain and soil, Young and old alike..in fact all life from the smallest to the largest forms across the planet will in time fail to flourish in accordance with their natural 'God given' potential, the kind of mutations we can expect are already starting to show in Sea life in the Pacific and along the West Coast of the States and this is only the very start. There are already plenty of examples of problems for Humans due to higher levels of Radiation, especially for young girls and the evidence base is mounting all the time. Must we wait until it is so bad we have no options remaining? Japan meanwhile presses ahead with plans to send people back into the Fukushima prefecture to live and plan to restart their vast number of Nuclear plants across the country, having done little to educate their own Citizens to the immediate dangers this will expose them to whilst shooting for the 2020 Olympic games in complete denial of their failures. The stories of corruption and mismanagement are rife concerning TEPCO but they are far too powerful to challenge and are allowed to simply lie to us all about their real situation passing a law strictly forbidding comment. That is until 38 degrees came into the picture! With a half life in the billions of years, the relentless nature of Fukushima's Radiation releases can and should not be ignored any longer. I believe it to be the single most important Global problem mankind has ever encountered. We need millions of people to voice their concern and for Japan to be held to account. The Nuclear Industry can not be allowed to continue to ignore the very real danger they have put us in for the convenience of their shareholders and commitments within the global Military Industrial Complex. Action groups like CND have become blinded to their purpose, so it has come down to us...the people..the huge pool of engaged people within the 38 degrees community to start putting heavy pressure on our elected leaders to act. Time is of the essence....we have less time than anyone could ever imagine. Three of the projected six years have already passed for all life in the Pacific ocean, this however is just Fukushima's calling card. Do not for one moment think it will not impact Great Britain. The best...as they say...is yet to come. Please follow the situation closely and stay informed. http://enenews.com/ http://fairewinds.org/

  • Decriminilize and regulate the supply, cultivation and consumption of cannabis
    Thousands of doctors and patients across the world have confirmed that cannabis is an effective medicine that can treat and cure a number of problems from aches and pains and sleeping problems to cancer. cannabis has a ridiculously small negaitive impact on communities compared to alcohol and tobacco. millions of pounds are spent every year by the police and courts processing 'criminals' found in possession of small amounts of cannabis. thousands of people are taking up space in prison for cannabis related 'crimes'. cannabis can cause significant amount more damage to peoples health when criminals are able to weigh it down with glass, plastic, sand and chemicals. hundreds of millions in tax could be collected yearly. tax made could be used to counter serious drug addiction. massive boost in tourism.

  • A Nationalized Bio Fuel Electrical Generating Organization
    For too long now the big six have monopolized power generation and so have had us held to ransom, yes there's a few small firms but they don't and can't really challenge their monopoly and the only true way to challenge them is with another large generating company and why not one that not only will be GREEN but also producing very cheap electricity for it's customers and producing funds for the Treasury yes a Nationalized one. I know that amongst many the word nationalized is a dirty word but look at the East Coast Rail Line nobody could make it work when it was privatized as soon as it became nationalized again it has made money and lot's of it sadly George Osborne thinks it will do the same privatized so he plans to sell it so I imagine it will go bust fairly quickly. The Bio Fuel Generating system that some have claimed in the past isn't green have been proved wrong on all counts, not least the fact that Sweden which is Scandinavia and Europe's Greenest country and which produces almost all it's electricity via Bio Fuel but Sweden isn't the only country Germany for instance also has a large number of Bio Fuel Generators, there are also a number of other countries in both eastern and western Europe using them. They produce cheap electricity this sounds like a dream claim but it's true simply because Bio Fuel Electricity can be produced from anything such as rubbish to poo and one of the by products is compost which can also be sold to keep the costs down. If you agree with me that it's about time that the people of this country deserve to be given the option of having cheap electricity that doesn't rely on outside influences then I hope you will sign my petition, sadly because of the way British politics are today if Parliament did introduce this it would probably start in England, but there is no reason why with a petition like this that the Welsh Assemble or the Scottish Parliament couldn't accept these proposals and go it alone so giving the people of Wales or Scotland the benefits and also seeing their coffers increase with the new wealth, so please sign my petition and let us get the country moving forward to a cheap, green future

  • No Confidence in UK Government
    Our country is being destroyed, our lower and middle classes are being victimized by a government that only cares about the wealthy and ensuring that that wealth is rewarded with more wealth that is taken from those of us who can least afford it. They continue to lie, cheat and steal from the British Public and from those that have worked their whole lives. They continues to put massive barriers in front of the people in this country who wish to work by taking tax credits from those who need it the most in order to survive. If this is allowed to continue the way that it is then the Britain we know will be lost to crony capitalism and we will never see it back again. Now is the time to act to get rid of the current government and start repairing the mistakes and incompetent leadership that we have been forced to endure. The only way that this can be done is to hold immediate elections and get the current government out of the way so that we can move on without their whoring our country out to the rich.

  • De-restrict childrens law legal aid
    What is more important than your children? What in the world is more important than children and their welfare. How can it be that in this day and age in this country a childs future can be decided on whether you can afford a lawyer or not? Faced with the daunting trauma of court proceedings regarding the future of your child, you know your ex-partner is not capable of giving a loving, caring upbringing to your child but they can afford representation and you cannot. You may come away with the right result, you may not. What is certain is that you are entering a fight with the odds stacked against you. This is not right! Children deserve to have their future decided fairly.
