• The RBS scandal continues - Loans and Mortgages to be sold off to private equity firms
    The high street banks for the past 3 years have sold off vast portfolios of people loans and mortgages at huge discounts to private equity companies to improve their liquidity with no regard to the consequences to their clients. These private equity funds have the nickname of vulture funds for obvious reasons. They have the reputation of "manufacturing" defaults and calling up loans at no notice thereby putting the customer into bankruptcy or financial ruin. The government plans to sell off tranches of RBS customers loans to these vultures and they must be stopped. This is the equivalent of banks throwing their customers under a bus.

  • Home Office must admit unlawful detention
    Nestor Sylla is much loved and highly respected. Following the murder of his sister in Guinea, Africa, in 2006, he fled for his life to the UK, but previous legal work failed Nestor when a solicitor did not respond to a Home Office request for photographs. His complaint about the solicitor was upheld. A natural helper, Nestor has volunteered for the BOAZ TRUST winter night shelter for seven years. He has also volunteered for Red Cross and the Mustard Tree. Nestor has created a new family in the UK and, in the process, become a vital carer for both Lawrence, aged 14, and for Elizabeth Coleman, retired. Lawrence says: “He’s a really great guy and helps me with my homework and takes me to school.” And Elizabeth says: “Nestor’s home is England. He is like a son to me. He has a lot to contribute to our society.” In April of 2017 Nestor, who is also a natural leader, was elected to represent many destitute people, questioning the Greater Manchester Mayoral Candidates at a Housing Hustings about their plans for tackling the city’s desperate housing problem. Nestor was detained on Friday 30th June 2017. He had a new Leave to Remain application that was received by the Home Office BEFORE he was detained, therefore his detention was unlawful. His lawyer, Mervyn Cross of Duncan Lewis said: ”There was absolutely no reason to detain Nestor.” When Nestor’s MP, Lucy Powell, contacted the Home Office on Nestor’s behalf, the Home Office insisted that Nestor’s detention was lawful. The MP has now written to the Immigration Minister again pointing out that Nestor has documentary evidence that proves his Leave to Remain application was indeed received by the Home Office before his detention. The Home Office must be called to account for this unlawful detention and for attempting to deny that they unlawfully detained Nestor Sylla. An admission of such unlawful detention will contribute to ensuring that the Home Office stops unlawfully detaining people seeking asylum.

  • Allow gay people equal rights when it comes to blood donation
    This is hugely important because through blood donation we can save many people’s lives. It seems that gay men are only not allowed to give blood because of highly alarming rates of HIV within the community. However, this is awfully discriminative, considering thousands of heterosexual people give blood, even though they may also have sex with someone who has an STI. This means therefore that people should be inspected through a case-by-case basis, rather than categorised into not being allowed to give blood just because they simply identify as a homosexual man. I find this outrageous, that the current law states gay men have to not have sex for a whole 12 months in order to give blood. It is said to be reduced to 3 months, however, I deeply believe this is still unfair, as heterosexual men do not have to abstain from having sex if they want to donate at all. I am sure homosexual men want to donate blood just as much as any other man in this world and they should be given the right to do so. We see adverts all over the place saying that someone with a rare blood group needs a blood donation and enlarging the group by including homosexual men (after checkup for any serious STIs) could also help this, as they surely also have rare blood groups that may not be found in anyone else in the population.

  • Make fox hunts muzzle their packs.
    ‘Tradition’ could be upheld, and hunting dogs kept within the law, yet foxes, domestic pets and others could all be legally safeguarded. If you’re hunting a scent trail, legally, muzzling makes no difference. Why not?

  • Stop The DVLA selling on details
    We have the Data Protection act in this country to which we have to adhere and therefore the DVLA is likely in breach of this by selling details to third parties for profit.

  • Full disclosure of social services
    Its been all over the media lately about children being taken by social services with no real evidence. All meetings with social workers including child protection conferences, PLO meetings, LAC meetings should be video taped so that no misunderstandings can happen, this would not just protect the families but social workers too.

  • Ban smacking children in England
    At the moment a parent can smack a child and social services deem this ok. Courts side with social services allowing the smacking to carry on. Social services and courts do not listen to the children when they are telling them they have been hit by a parent. A child should be able to be safe and not struck by a parent venting anger on a child. Smacking is a form of anger from a parent who cannot control the situation

  • Dangerous parking outside schools
    Safeguarding our children has to be a top priority. Irresponsible and illegal parking around schools is increasingly dangerous. This is a national issue. Current legislation is inadequate and councils do not have the funds to place wardens at all schools to enforce the legislation that is currently in place.
