We need to get the Ministry Of Transport to pursue VW (in the courts if necessary) and get them to give the UK Owners the same priority and compensation as they have given to the American owners (obviously they were frightened of the American legal system ). We appear to have been sidelined as not important and the UK Government has not promoted our case at all. I drive a VW van and have had only a single letter to tell me my vehicle would have to be re worked to bring it into line , but since that letter a few years ago I have not heard a word. About time some butt kicking was done in high places .

Voters in the UK need to be reassured that Parliament is provided with the full facts before agreeing to send UK armed forces into combat. Parliament should act now to hold Tony Blair to account for his misleading statements in the lead up to the war in Iraq in order to protect its integrity.

Keeping our society fair means that people need accurate information on which to make an informed decision about the issues they care about. In the recent referendum on the EU both Leave and Remain campaigns were supported by the press in spreading disingenuous information to suit an agenda. The news media spread misinformation and outright lies instead of reporting facts. Several retractions have since been made in tiny panels tucked away where they cannot be seen without a headline. To help the news media uphold the high editorial standards which they aim to meet I think it is important that there is a cost to them for lying to the public and that retractions, apologies and correction are clear and visible. The Editors' Code of Practice can be found here: https://www.ipso.co.uk/editors-code-of-practice/ It states that "A significant inaccuracy, misleading statement or distortion must be corrected, promptly and with due prominence, and — where appropriate — an apology published. In cases involving IPSO, due prominence should be as required by the regulator." We believe that 'due prominence' should impact upon the publication to a degree that encourages due diligence. Please sign the petition if you agree.

The actions of the NEC are so undemocratic they do not belong in this country. All across society they have excluded members and supports with bitter choices. This cannot be allowed to go on in The Labour Party.

In the light of the recently published Chilcot report on the lead up to and subsequent execution of the Iraq war, it has become clear the incident relating to the death of Dr David Kelly is fundamental to the events leading up to the decision to invade. Dr David Kelly had grave concerns with the evidence used in justification of the war. Jack Straw the foreign secretary at the time belittled both him and his concerns about “sexing up” the government dossier promoting the war. Dr Kellys subsequent suicide left many questions unanswered and conclusions drawn after the Hutton enquiry are less than satisfactory. I believe the events leading up to and following the death of Dr Kelly should be reinvestigated and all files relating to this should be made public.

Too many innocent lives have been lost - Statistics ref BBC: In 2015 - Some 13,286 people were killed in the US by firearms, according to the Gun Violence Archive, and 26,819 people were injured those figures exclude suicide - There were 372 mass shootings in the US in 2015, killing 475 people and wounding 1,870, this is according to the Mass Shooting Tracker, which catalogues such incidents. A mass shooting is defined as a single shooting incident which kills or injures four or more people, including the assailant.. A third of the worlds gun crime is in America. How can Americans show the world that they are a nation of peace and freedom when you have so much gun crime, within America and unfair documented shootings of black individuals?. The world is looking on - observing America's gun laws with great pity - you do not need guns - to show you're a nation of peace - you need friendship and calm. If you believe America should make an amendment to their guns laws - to save lives - then please sign this petition and help make a difference. Thank you -Please share this on Facebook and Twitter.

Ahmed fled from Algeria with his boyfriend after they were subjected to torture, physical abuse often from their own family members. They reached Greece Ahmed got through his Boyfriend did not. They have not had any communication since. We are asking for Ahmed to be immediately released from detention and returned to Plymouth where he has friends and an important support network. Ahmed is a very shy, loving person in the UK he does not appear to be 'Gay' however in North Africa he is seen as effeminate and will be subjected to further abuse and even risk of being brutally murdered. We Believe that Ahmed will not be safe in any detention centre as he will be held with others that are intrinsically homophobic. This puts him at increased risk of both physical and sexual attacks. Much work being done to present new evidence to the Home Office including the important professional and expert reports on the physical and psychological trauma Ahmed has suffered. The first of a series of appointments with experts has been arranged is due to take place on 20th July here in Plymouth which makes the decision to detain him at this time complete madness. Pride in Plymouth has been supporting Ahmed by reducing the social isolation he has suffered since being in the UK. He is valued and loved by ALL of the 'Pride Family' in Plymouth. Please sign this petition to ensure Ahmed is returned to Plymouth where he has the support and love he needs whilst the necessary professional evidence is collated. It cost the tax payer far more to keep Ahmed in detention than does to house him in the community. Homosexuality is illegal in Algeria carrying an official sentence of three years in Prison. The law in Algeria does not recognise or respect the civil rights of LGBT persons. Officially, there are no gay-friendly establishments and no political organisation is allowed to campaign for LGBT rights. Harassment, violence, and murder of LGBT persons by family members, religious fundamentalists or other vigilant groups is generally tolerated.

Katie Hopkins has multiple media outlets, which she has repeatedly used to present to a biased and prejudiced agenda. On her program at the LBC radio station, she presents to topics which are thematically negative towards those of another race, ethnicity or religion, with titles as 'Katie Hopkins Hammers May For Sharia Law Support' and 'Caller Gets Katie Hopkins Fired Up About Ramadan'. Most recently, in her podcast of the 3rd of July, entitled: Katie Hopkins Furious Rant At 'Safety Pin', Campaign and shared to LBC's Facebook page. She berated her audience with statements such as: "Multiculturalism has NOT worked, we DO live in the 'ghetto kingdom' but that does not make it an unsafe space. I do not buy into any of the calls of people tearful because they're now so ‘scared’ of the fact that they live in this country, I think that’s all baloney and I think that’s more sore losers from the liberal left." This one link on LBC's Facebook page has amassed over 90,000 views alone, with the potential to influence all of these viewers/listeners with her views. This broadcast allowed Katie Hopkins to promote and encourage her audience to dismiss the rise of hate crime and related violence, and to ridicule the Safety Pin support campaign. The rise in incidents is a concern recognised by the police force and public officials , many who have pledged to tackle this issue. Another example via the Mail Online: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3654287/KATIE-HOPKINS-Remain-win-warn-not-fall-ill-not-want-buy-home-not-expect-primary-school-place-child-warn-not-complain-terror-attack-brave-vote-Leave-Great-Britain-back.html Katie Hopkins made many statements in this article that are not only factually incorrect but which also used language to incites fear, the most significant is highlighted below. "If you do decide to vote remain be very clear. You have no right to complain you can't get a doctor's appointment or a place in primary school. In four years' time, all primary schools will be full. You have no right to a view on the dearth of housing or the strain on the NHS. Because you sided with the people who said unchecked immigration is a positive thing for Britain. If you are voting remain you have no right to respond to terror with sympathy; your hashtags, your sad faces and your vigils in a public square. The only thing I want to hear from you is 'I was wrong'. Because you voted with the idiots who said we are safer IN. And if you are voting remain because you are worried about short term pain. Think about the cancer you diagnosed for this country." These are not isolated and random incidents, she was widely condemned for her piece in The Sun http://www.sunnation.co.uk/hopkins-rescue-boats-id-use-gunships-to-stop-illegal-migrants/ In the article, she compared migrants to “cockroaches’ and said she would use “gunships” to stop boats from crossing the Mediterranean, a day after hundreds drowned when their boat capsized on the Sicilian coast. Her piece, published 17 April, dehumanised migrants further by labelling them 'feral' and described them as 'spreading like norovirus'. Hopkins and The Sun’s editor David Dinsmore were reported directly to Metropolitan Police Commissioners Office, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, by Peter Herbert, Chair Society of Black Lawyers, on 20 April. She is a repeat offender and her offences need to be addressed. By permitting her to continually abuse her media outlets and use them as a platform to promote bias, prejudice and hate speech, we are permitting her to influence those who could feel encouraged and validated to commit more extreme behaviour.

Hundreds of British soldiers and thousands of innocent Iraq's were killed during a war which was based on lies. Tony Blair committed to the war 8 months before it started when he wrote to George Bush stating he was with America 'whatever'. He has caused the death of thousands of people and cost Britain billions of pounds by taking us into an illegitimate war. He should be brought to justice.

Iraq is now a failed state and home to terrorist groups such as Islamic State. There is great intolerance between shi'ite and sunni communities which did not exist before the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Many British and American servicemen lost their lives and millions of civilians have been killed,displaced or orphaned.

*STORY BURIED BY BREXIT* Last week before the referendum vote, many of you would have been hearing about this case. Ellie Butler was removed from loving, caring grandparents who had brought her up "as their own", and handed over to her abusive parents, who terrorised and abused her emotionally and physically until she was murdered at the age of 6. Despite Ellie herself reportedly pleading with social workers not to go back to her 'parents', she was sent back to live with them by two independent, private and profit-making social workers (Services4Children), under the guidance of a judge, Mrs Justice Hogg. In what has been described as a very unusual case, the order given by the judge effectively 'wiped the slate clean' for Ellie's Father, Ben Butler, who had previously been jailed for shaking her as a baby. This meant that professionals, including school staff and local authority social services, were unable to protect Ellie from terrible abuse, due of the special order of this judge. To imagine what Ellie went through is horrifying. To be taken from her grandparents and her loving home despite pleading otherwise, and sent to these monsters: this girl was failed by the adults who were supposed to keep her safe. Ellie's grandad Neal spent his life savings fighting to prevent Ellie being sent back to her parents. Very sadly, his wife (Ellie's grandmother) died on the first day of Ben Butler's trial for murder. He had previously said that Mrs Justice Hogg would have "blood on her hands" if Ellie was returned. After Ellie's parents were convicted, Ellie's Grandad continued to advocate for his beloved granddaughter on TV and in the press, determined to let people know the truth about what had happened. He is desperate for a public enquiry, and to ensure that this can never happen again to another child. The Brexit vote has swamped the news; please don't let Ellie and her grandparents down by forgetting about them.

All too often we hear candidates making promises or pledges to the population that they have little to no intention of keeping. For example we fund the EU £350 million a week, lets fund the NHS instead promotion from leave campaign, which was abandoned within minutes of the referendum; or the I want to abolish student loans pledges from a few years ago. There are many more examples that can be plucked from history. The people making these claims do so to get themselves into a position of power then abandon them as quick as they can. If a candidate pledges / promises they will do something then they should be held accountable in a court of law for their action or inaction. If a coalition government is formed it would need to negotiate and agree a new hybrid strategy to enable the country to move forward. For too long we the people have been lied to and its time to take the power back.
