The Ritzy Cinema is one of the iconic landmarks in Brixton, made famous by its promotion of progressive cinema and art. However, since Autumn 2016, Picturehouse has been in dispute with its staff over payment of the Living Wage. For a company that made profits in excess of £83.8 million in 2015 and who attempts to brand Picturehouse as an 'ethical' business, selling Fairtrade products and and hosting independent films, such treatment of staff is unacceptable. It is with great sadness therefore that we are calling for a community boycott of Cineworld and Picturehouse Cinemas until they engage in meaningful dialogue with your staff and their representatives, ensuring decent employment conditions and full recognition of their right to Trade Union representation.

Because it is not a fair that disabled people and elderly people have to wait in the Rain thunderstorm or no matter what the weather is in the rain and freezing cold in the mornings

I feel like I've said all i need to in the above statement, I grew up on these and I would like my children and generations after me to enjoy the delicious and nutritious breakfast treat for all the family... plus it would be very easy to implement so why not !

It is now widely reported that produce growers in the UK fear that their produce will rot in the field due to lack of seasonal immigrant workforce. Since Nigel's main campaign to get out of the EU was to limit immigration, and the impact that immigration has had on British jobs, it seems only fitting that he should also implore the British to take up the empty jobs that his actions have indirectly freed up. Part of making decisions is to take responsibility for consequences. Brexit rhetoric, uncertainty and economic impact have all led to less seasonal migrant workers this year; it may have not been Nigel's direct aim to free up seasonal work for Brits, but he can bring to bear a campaign of National pride to encourage Brits to actively seek out such jobs to ensure that produce does not rot in the field. Even if Nigel's view is that seasonal fruit picking is ideal for low priced migrant labour, it will take a long time for that workforce to want to return in sufficient quantity to the UK , and that seems largely a consequence of Brexit, and specifically his part in the campaign for it. So the only responsible thing for him to do is to mitigate this, perhaps unintended, consequence by calling people to the fields. Furthermore, it would be a really positive gesture if Nigel could spend his spare time leading by example and working in the fields. Then he could truly say that he had earned his pint by the end of the day.

Loss of jobs, loss of expertise, more centralisation and globalisation and no concern for local communities

The ever-rising tide of our plastic waste has recently been found washing up on the shores of Henderson Island, an uninhabited island in the South Pacific, where 38 million pieces of plastic are now lying. Plastic is littering our countryside, hardly degrading, and it is floating around in the oceans where fish are mistaking tiny pieces of plastic for food. A recent analysis is now showing that we are all probably ingesting microplastics in our tap water and in the world's salt where they remain as residues. And our appetite for disposable coffee cups and bottles shows no sign of waning. All of these are warnings that we must all cut our plastic waste, and the huge industries that create it must help consumers to recycle, and ultimately find alternative, biodegradable materials, or better still cut unnecessary packaging altogether. Reusing plastic bottles is not enough. Consider how much plastic we get through everyday that is marked as 'not currently recycled': food packets, vegetable wrapping, 'post-consumer film' on fruit punnets and ready meals, snack bags, the reams of plastic when you buy a new gadget, not forgetting pens and carrier bags, greetings card sleeves. I ask, why is this not currently recycled? It is very difficult to live in the modern world without such a convenient material, but it is possible to find alternatives if the will and demand is there. We already have cellulose and waste potato starch from crisp manufacturing that can replace film and polystyrene. Pens and pots can be made from tyres and plastic cups. Not only can we stem the tide of plastic in our oceans, we can save energy and money by reducing the processing of our plastic waste. We also need to protect animals and ourselves from exposure to microplastics.

This is important because plastic pollution in the ocean is killing the marine life; whether it is from animals being strangled to animals eating the plastic particles because they mistake it for food. The ecosystem is comprised of so many different moving parts and every animal plays an important role in maintaining the health of the ecosystem. We need to be held responsible for buying plastic bottles, and Coke needs to be held responsible for the plastic pollution they are creating in the ocean as well. It is a two way street! Please sign if you care about keeping the marine ecosystem and the human population healthy because what ends up in the ocean can and will end up on our plates.

Football fans wear their colours with pride. These are turbulent times for Sunderland AFC, and the '12th man' is needed now more than ever. Since the shirt has been launched, there has been an overwhelming negative response from fans about the design. The fans deserve a shirt that they can be proud of. Change it now, before it is launched and the damage is irreversible.

everybody should be equal no matter how old they are or what they look like or anything so why is the a minimum wage for younger people

Car insurance in the UK is a subject which resonates strongly with and I know personally dejects and angers drivers in the uk on a national level. If your passionate about changing car insurance premiums please, I implore you to take the time to read my story and get onboard with this petition! As a young, daily driver living in the UK my utter frustration with the extortionate and unjustifiable cost of car Insurance premiums has convinced me that it's time to speak up on behalf of the nation in an attempt to at very least partially reform the way in which insurance premiums are calculated in order for competent people to be able to run and afford a car with a price which is fair and reflective of the person, the vehicle and their personal situation which currently is absolutely not the case! Of course I am no financial expert and I am not all that business savvy, however I can speak for the people because I'm one of them, I pay insurance just like anybody else and we simply have to tackle this issue for reasons that I can best get across with my own personal story. As a 26 year old living in Dorset, south west England it's absolutely vital for me to own and run a car, without it I could not get to work, see my family or participate in most of my social hobbies. I first passed my test in September 2013 at the first time of asking with only 3 minors, quickly after buying my first car, a 1.5 litre Peugeot 106. At the time I fully expected a high premium as a new driver with an old car, and I ended up settling on a quote of £1,188 as a named driver on a parents policy, which was almost exactly twice the total cost of the car itself. Admittedly compared with some quotes out there this one wasn't actually too bad. I was very unfortunate with my first car as I had it parked with a permit in a local public car park and overnight one Saturday just 6 months into my ownership it was torched to a pile of ash. Upon getting in touch with my insurance company (whom I won't name, even though I'd love to) they initially refused to pay up anything on the grounds that I'd taken out a 12 month policy for which I'd not completed upto this point. As you can imagine I was devastated, I was now car-less and over £600 out of pocket. After weeks of negotiation with the company demanding I finish paying for a car that NO LONGER EXISTED, I settled on a payout of £315 with them cancelling my policy...which is naturally what I wanted anyway. 4 months later I bought my second car (which I still own) a 1.6 soda Felicia worth £600. I managed to get a quote of (I forget the exact amount) around £750 which was much better...but please hold on, here comes the goodstuff! Around 8 months into my policy that I was very happy with I was burdened with a letter out of the blue demanding £180 in charges on top of a revised premium of £1,300 due to a "fault claim, which was not properly disclosed" Not being savvy with these sort of things I had no idea whatsoever the fire damage claim from a full year ago counted as an accident claim and so regardless that I'd entirely lost my car due to a very rare act of vandalism, here I was, being asked to pay out double the rate plus back dated charges for something which had absolutely no reflection atall on myself, my driving competency or the car. After paying off the charges I cancelled my policy and in a bid to keep my job I frantically called one insurance provider after another all of which wanted a minimum of £1,330 with other quotes reaching (and I'm not joking!) £10,000 for a car that considering its like for like value I'd have to write off completely between 2 and 17 times every year, despite the fact that apart from the said event, I have nad no claims, no accidents atall in the nearly 4 years that I have been driving. My no claims bonus makes no difference, may age and experience on the road makes no difference and if it wasn't for my now fiancé being a named driver I would still be paying £1,300 per year. When speaking with staff as well as managers at various insurance companies, I have never been given a straight and congruent response as to the price of car insurance, there's is no rhyme or reason and it's a very literal case of "That's what the computer tells us" Im am by no means the only person who has suffered at the hands of apocalyptic prices which these companies who know we can't currently do anything about it and I'm sure there are many stories just like mine which is why I really sincerely hope people get onboard with my petition, take the time to read my story and stop this absolute madness. As a final addition to my story I'd like to add that my fiancé who has been driving for 15 years at the age of 33 with absolutely no claims atall who drives a 2011 1.2 litre Nissan Micra has recently been given her renewal quote to the tune of over £1000 when previously paying £500 per year...why??...not even the insurance companies themselves appear to know why. It makes absolutly no sense! Please people of Britain lets get this sorted and make a difference because soon enough for those on the lower rung of the ladder cars will just become more and more unaffordable.

These are biased and racist and should not be allowed to be seen free of charge.
