• Make Pearson change transgender certificate policy.
    Requesting a GRC or doctor's letter is in breach of the Equality Act 2010. "By changing their name trans people automatically have the protected characteristic of gender reassignment under the Equality Act 2010" (uktrans.info - http://uktrans.info/attachments/article/292/transqualcerts.pdf), creating the protected characteristic of gender reassignment. This effectively means that Pearson's requirements are discriminatory, as well as in breach of the Equality Act 2010. Trans individuals already experience enough discrimination trying to live life day-to-day, and several people I have contacted have also experienced discrimination at Pearson's hands. It's time to change to a level playing field so that we, as trans individuals, receive the qualifications we worked hard to gain, in the correct, accurate gender and name.

  • Stop discrimination by Fergus Wilson and other landlords.
    Fergus Wilson, a major buy-to-let landlord in Kent, has recently openly declared that he will not rent to people based on the colour of their skin “because of the smell of curry”. He also refuses to rent to single parents, victims of domestic violence, workers on low incomes, families with children, pet owners, smokers and single adults. It it frankly unbelievable that in this day and age a landlord is legally allowed to discriminate like this, and we demand that the minister for housing stamps out this behaviour as soon as possible. Fergus Wilson and other landlords like him seem to think that we’re still living in feudal times, it’s time our laws caught up with the current century and this behaviour was made illegal.

  • Give young offenders a second chancechance
    I committed three armed robbery's at the age of 16 this was due to my circumstances, which were that I was homeless, had no family or friends to turn to, On drugs and had my life threaten with death if i didn't do it. I put myself in prison because it was the safest place for me i couldn't turn to anyone for help i was completely alone. during my time inside i begun to see the error of my ways and don't commit crime anymore but yet these mistakes were made in a most stressful and desperate time in my life i shouldn't have to pay all my life for a mistake i made when i was 16 i didn't hurt anyone i didn't kill anyone i stole from a business now this itself the reason i did it now this small change will give thousands of people a second chance a chance to be somebody were refused thousands of jobs each year because of our criminal records and i think this small change would be a second chance to help reduce offending if prisons know before there release that if they behave then their is a second chance

  • No to Late Court Sittings
    It is unfair and discriminatory for Court staff, Judges, Barristers, Solicitors, and court users, particularly those with children. It will have a detrimental impact on well-being and diversity at the Bar and Judiciary. It is hard enough for parents at the Bar to make it work. It jeopardises work-life balance. It is impractical and fails to take account of the cab-rank rule, listing practices, and that lawyers need time to prepare their cases and travel to and from court. Overall, all those working in the courts deserve to have a good work/life balance, and the ability to see their children. This should not be forced upon lawyers, Judges and Court staff. This is a regressive step and a barrier to greater diversity in the profession and on the bench and in particular will be a further obstacle to the retention of women.

  • Defend the London Bridge three
    Lee, Dave and Saeed responded to a call for asssitance from a pregnant colleague who was being assaulted by a fare evader. The fare evader punched Lee Cornell twice in the head and stole his glasses. London Underground failed to make good their commitment to their staff that anyone who abuses or assaults their staff will be pursued through the courts. Instead they turned on the staff and dismissed Lee Cornell and gave final warnings to Dave Sharp and Saeed Sioussi. We are demanding those sanctions are over turned.

  • George cross
    He upheld the highest traditions of the UK police, in that he put the safety of the public and his sworn duty before his own safety, in attempting to stop an armed man whilst unarmed himself. He carried out that duty and payed the ultimate price in doing so.

  • Rename Parliament entrance 'Palmer Gate'
    Recognise this brave man's sacrifice on behalf of freedom and democracy. PC Keith Palmer tragically died, tackling the terrorist who attacked Parliament. He may fade from the headlines in the weeks and months to come, but renaming the gate after him will be a lasting tribute to someone who acted to protect all of us. This wasn't just a man doing his job, when Keith was called upon he took the decision to stand up for all of us, he went forward rather than running backwards. Renaming the gate at Parliament would cost nothing, but the gesture and memory of British bobby Keith Palmer's bravery will last for hundreds of years.

    Whenever there is a terror attack or violent incident, ghouls and trolls qui kly post and share graphic images of people, regardless of the fact they could be injured, dying or dead. These are often posted within minutes, and the families of those people can see these images accross social media, finding out about the loss of a loved one in the most callous and uncaring way.

  • videos of children being bullied illegal
    The suicide rate of young children is astonishing. Young vulnerable children are being exploited by bullies posting videos of their attacks on social media for all to share and see. Not only have they endured the horrific attacks physically but now they have to live with it spread all across the internet. This is humiliating and traumatic for any human being. As the world of social media has grown, the act of bullying has branched, we need to do something about this.
