  • Free Cash Machines Tax
    Banks are closing branches and moving online. Older people, people without transport or in rural communities may struggle to get to a bank branch where they can make free cash withdrawals. This isn't a tax on 3rd party (non-bank) businesses, it's a tax on the disadvantaged, the elderly (both of which still prefer cash) and rural communities.

  • Who makes the profit on goods that we buy?
    While I applaud Morrisons' move on milk, I think there is a better way of dealing with the pricing of all products. Only then will we see who is making how much money and for what. We can then judge whether we buy a product. This would also work for "ethically sourced" and Fair Trade products - we, the consumers, will decide not the seller.

  • Raise the VAT registration threshold to help small businesses
    Small businesses create employment and opportunity and are critical to keep the economy healthy. We need to encourage and reward the entrepreneurs, who take on the personal risks and stress of starting new businesses and help them get off the ground.

  • Save the Dinder Bus!
    Apart from rural footpaths, the only way to and from Dinder is by road; without a bus service then school kids, mobility impaired and elderly residents, as well as their friends and family in the local area, will no longer have the independence the bus service provides. Destroying rather than building environmentally-friendly transport networks, while giving no alternative provision is a terrible step backwards, affecting us all.

  • Don’t nuke the future of Britain with a new nuclear power plant
    Last month the government slashed and axed green energy subsidies because no money was left. But now the government is pushing full steam ahead with £17 BILLION subsidies for untested nuclear reactor at Hinkley. How can there be on rule for green energy and another for nuclear energy? If there is no money for green energy how can there be BILLIONS for nuclear? If there’s no money left why are we committing to subsidising a deal that’s been called as “economically insane” by city analysts and “one of the worst deals ever for British households and British industry” by Lord Howell, the pro-nuclear’ former Tory Energy Secretary. Agree with me that paying billions of pounds for nuclear energy is wrong? Please sign the petition now. There have been safety concerns over Hinkley. Two plants in Finland and France which use the same design, have been plagued with construction delays, spiralling costs and design flaws. Hinkley is under attack from not just from campaigners and community but also from one of our biggest banks. A report from HSBC on 2nd August 2015 warned that the massive cost was the new nuclear power plant was ‘becoming harder to justify.’ HSBC concluded: ‘We see ample reason for the UK Government to delay or cancel the project.’ The Hinkley deal is so outrageous and over-subsidised (£17 Billion), that ten green energy firms from Germany and Austria launched a legal challenge against it last month. Let’s not lavish the nuclear energy with billions of pounds while we’re cutting back from renewable energy because apparently the piggy bank is empty. The chorus of disapproval growing and if 38 Degrees members add our voice we could force the government to bin this bonkers plan.

  • Ikea UK - end the use of wild animals in your ads
    Ikea have released a series of images and an online advert featuring monkeys and a toucan. On the surface this seems harmless, cute animals being funny with everyday objects. However, wild animals belong in the wild. They have complex welfare needs, and shouldn't be used to sell products. In the UK we have moved past this type of advertising, no longer do we think that the PG tips ads, with monkeys selling tea, are acceptable. In the same way there is an overwhelming sense that circus with wild animals should be banned. Whilst the centre who cooperated with Ikea on this ad will have considered the animals in their care - using wild animals in this way sends out completely the wrong message. Ikea have judged this incorrectly, you only need to look at the comments on Instagram to see this. Whilst some are complaining, others are saying how cute the animals are and how they want them as pets. Something which is totally unacceptable.

  • Stop charges for vehicle recovery if stolen
    Because it is immoral that any person who has had their vehicles stolen should have to pay an extortionate amount to get possession back of there property, we already have to go through the process of insurance rises and loss of earnings, we understand that if it is not MOT'd, Taxed or insured. fair play, but when it has been stolen from your home, place of work or shopping etc , then in order to get it back you are charged a fee of somewhere between £150-£250 and then daily additional fees on top. We are the victims not the criminals.

  • Make Norwich City FC a Zero Carbon Club
    Businesses must acknowledge and act on their responsibility to society to reduce carbon emissions. Not only is this a moral imperative, committing to environmental sustainability will result in global coverage for the club, reaching a new level of support among climate activists worldwide. Forest Green Rovers, owned by Ecotricity founder Dale Vince, are currently the only club in European football to have committed to EMAS - the gold standard for environmental performance. To achieve this the club have implemented measures such as: • Installing solar PV along stadium roofs, kicking out 45 kW capacity. • Converting to an organic pitch, partly irrigated by collected rain water, with no use of pesticides or manmade chemicals. • Introducing an e-ticket service to reduce paper use and need to travel to the ground to collect tickets. • Improving biodiversity by growing bee attracting plants. • Switching to low energy floodlighting • Taking red meat off menus and working to the principles of local, seasonal, fresh and organic food wherever possible (Meat based diets are acknowledged as one of the major contributors to global emissions, using up vast amounts of water, land and energy per kg of food produced in comparison to vegetarian and vegan diets.). Let's take our club to the Premier League of Environmental Sustainability by committing to EMAS and becoming a zero carbon club.

  • Fair wages for W H Smith postal clerks
    I don't see why these very hard working people - mostly women - should be on minimum wages. Also they are cutting down on staff so that there are only ever two postal clerks working in any of their sub post offices!! It is very cheap skate to cut down on the number of postal clerks - so these people have to work MUCH harder than they would were there four postal clerks working in each sub post office. and they are working this hard for MUCH LESS!!
