• Save local greengrocers & butchers
    Supermarkets are creating an extremely large amount of food waste due to over buying, they force unfair conditions upon farmers/growers and care nothing for small traditional family run grocers / butchers. If something is not controlled now - the uk will loose its traditional stores within a few years.

  • MASSIVE NO TO UK SECURITY PRIVATISATION PLANS!
    In the UK we are being edged to 'obedience' at all costs, by our media and by the way we are being divided and taught to hate each other. WE need to act together to protect our rights and liberties. Just a couple of examples follow- please read. 'The multinational security company G4S failed to maintain basic human rights standards and protect asylum seekers from harm, the complaint lodged to the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development.' There has been massive "ankle tagging" fraud by BOTH companies. 'Inappropriate' youth restraint where 14 CHILDREN were assaulted (fines were made against them) and were 'found responsible for the outbreak of violence at Manos Island detention centre but never held to account' (The Telegraph, The Guardian). The proposal to allow powers of arrest to Serco and G4S, private companies who have broken laws and acted inhumanely sends a shudder down the spine. Not only does the privatisation of 'security' smack of fascism- these faceless companies are for profit- not for our welfare The powers that government award themselves in suggesting this go way above their remit- many of the government have interests in these (and other privatising companies) but once again who asked us? We really need to make some noise and be in agreement that we won't let this happen. Let the government go back to the money tree and find the required amounts to recruit and train more police- because if we need more 'security' then the providers should belong to the UK, not be in private profit making hands. Following the appalling sights around the world and most recently the heinous operations in Spain against the Catalonian's and their democratic rights- the image of men hidden by full face 'protective' helmets is enough to make us realise what could happen here. Once they have this power it can not be taken back- who wants to live under the threat of those guys turning up whenever we 'disobey'? Think it couldn't happen here? Want to wait and find out- or spend a few moments to tick this petition showing disapproval and demanding a great big 'NO' to this proposal.

  • Plastic Packaging for Bananas Should NOT be a Thing!
    Over eight million tonnes of plastic enter oceans every year, with 80% coming from land. Bananas DO NOT need packaging, they have skins. It's making me go bananas.

  • Ban small clear plastic bags used for fruit and veg
    We know that plastic takes years to breakdown in the environment and can be confused as food by animals such as turtles, whales and birds. Single use bags are a crime against nature, and these small clear bags are such a waste that can be replaced easily with recycled and recyclable paper bags.

  • FaceTime Conference Calling Feature
    It is important because most people I know want to be able to FaceTime more than one person at a time. It's unfair that we have apps such Skype that do this for us, but we are not able to do it through the Apple products that we have.

  • Sponsorship for those who have committed on the basis of being able to pursue a career.
    Many of us who come from Australia and other Commonwealth countries moved here on working holidays and found a career. We are invested in the company and have been for a long period of time. Over the past years we've built lives, friendships and relationships which we do not wish to end or leave over this. We would be more than willing to agree to long standing contracts if it is what it takes, but we feel as it was promised and mentioned to us as a way of getting our commitment that it is now owed to us in a way. We love our jobs and our pubs and this is why we made a commitment, because we thought we could grow within the company and someday head these pubs.

  • Ban the use of Methylisothiazoline Ap123 and Methylchloroisothiazolinone Ap124
    The use of Methylisothiazoline Ap123 and Methylchloroisothiazolinone Ap124 are preservatives and used in most moistrasisers, make up, baby fragranced wet wipes, washing up liquid, perfume, deodrant, etc. I can list a whole load of things this is used in and im pretty sure if you look at the ingredients in most of your soaps, body washes, make up, sun screen, perfume's, t tree products, shampoo, etc you will find it in them!! Methylisothiazoline Ap123 and Methylchloroisothiazolinone Ap124 This is used as a presevative to make the products last longer. But what annoys me the most is the use of this product on sensative skin products, yet for people like me with sensative skin and an eczema suffer i can't use the products because it contains this Chemical, it's in so many things!! This does not help excema suffers or sensitive skin sufferers or any other skin problems you may have. This Chemical has ONLY BEEN BANNED in 1 country... YES THAT'S RIGHT 1 COUNTRY!!! I would like to bring a ban on the use of this Chemical in our product's in ENGLAND, as it is not good for our skin and can cause you to itch and come out in a rash due to this chemical being used. Unless you have a patch test done and get tested you can not tell if you are allergic to it. I want people to be aware of this and the more people know about this the better. Thank you for reading and please sign it to make this happen for people who suffer like me and fight this battle everyday.
