• Bring back legal aid for family law. Our rights to a fair justice system
    It's diabolical that legal aid has been removed from family law. Parents all over the country are not getting a fair hearing and through lack of knowledge and unfair rules they are having to be litigants in person.

  • Stop cars becoming terrorists' weapons with a new Vehicle Technology Act
    Recent events in London and and Europe have shown how terrorists are using vehicles of all kinds as weapons. This has to be stopped to stop the loss of life and disruption caused by the terrorists weaponising vehicles. Foootnote - just like driverless vehicles post collision system responses can be managed to protect the driver and others from further injury. PLEASE SIGN NOW! So many people have been injured and affected by the latest London atrocity. Action is required immediately. Effective Action can be taken using modern Technology. New Vehicle construction regulations are needed which will: (a) Compel all vehicles to be equipped with sensors (Warning sensors) triggered when the presence of people or objects with which a vehicle may collide. (b) Compel all vehicles to be equipped with sensors (Collision Sensors) that will detect if a vehicle has actually collided with a person or object. (c) When Warning Sensors are triggered a vehicle alarm system with responses at graduated levels must be automatically operated. (d) When Collision Sensors are triggered the vehicle must be automatically brought to a halt the duration of which will be automatically graduated in time depending on severity. This will not only prevent Weaponising but also all failure to stop events. This should apply to all new vehicles(Warning sensors) sold in the UK no later than 1st January 2023 and all vehicles on the road by no later than 2025 with a government sponsored car modification scheme. PLEASE DO NOT Delay - sign TODAY

  • An appeal to British media not to over-react to terrorist attacks
    Last night, among hours of coverage, the BBC took ten minutes to retrace the Westminster terrorist's steps in detail over the bridge. This unnecessary reporting reflects how extreme the coverage has been across both TV and newspapers. This hysterical and over-the-top coverage is exactly what terrorists want. It encourages fear and over-reaction. If media agencies can agree to restraint - to report the facts in a concise and unemotional way - then this will be a powerful message to terrorists that no one, not even the media, is going to be swayed by their actions.

  • Army Veterans Tobias Elwood MP, Tony Davis, and Mike Crofts should be awarded the George Cross
    These men have already served their country, and still selflessly ran to give aid in the face of danger. Their actions deserve recognition. The George Cross is awarded for "acts of the greatest heroism or of the most conspicuous courage in circumstances of extreme danger."

  • Westminster Bridge Road Safety Measures
    With hindsight it is obvious that there is no separation of pedestrians from heavy traffic ... nothing but a small curb ..... We want to stop the terror attack on the Westminster Bridge and similar locations by adding buffers to prevent traffic mounting the curb deliberately or by accident Public safety demands safety measures now

  • All police to be armed
    Because in todays society we live under constant threat, as such we should step up so that we can adequately deal with any situation which may arise. It is a basic human right to have an ability for self preservation, and as such we rely upon our police service to protect us to that end. If the police cannot protect themselves then they cannot protect the people and then everyone is under threat from attack. This measure would alleviate the issue and would also bring us in line with the rest of the world.

  • Stop Bullying
    This is important because i have seen someone very close to me being bullied from being a confident, beautiful, talented, intelligent young lady to self-hate, lack of confidence, uninspired young lady. The bullying is going on for nearly two years now and we have tried to do everything, report to the school, get in touch with the police but it did not help. Many young people in the UK are being bullied until they commit suicide, self harm or stopping them from being who they are meant to be not only young people even in work places some adults find it okay to make someone's life unbearable. Everyone should have the right to be happy and live in freedom from being bullied with other people.

  • Criminal records data retention until a person is 100 in UK
    Bill to amend the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 will be debated soon. England and Wales brand young offenders criminals for life. The punitive and penal approach to the rehabilitation of young offenders and disclosers and retention of criminal records is vastly different to many other countries. Below is brief guide of how other nations treat criminal convictions. • Canada permanently deletes records of juvenile convictions once an individually turns 18 or after 5 years of turning 18. Murder, manslaughter and aggravated sexual assault are never deleted. Canada also has a pardon system that allows adults to appeal for their records to be suspended and not disclosed if an individual can show good character and rehabilitation since the offence. Also in the USA individuals can apply to have their records expunged; this is for citizens under 18 and varies from state to state. • Scotland does not disclose convictions if 15 years has passed or if an individual were 18 or over 18 at the date of conviction, 7 and half years, if an individual were under 18 at the date of conviction • Australia expunges juvenile convictions after 3 years of no repeat offending and has a pardon policy for adult convictions • In Spain, conviction records are not erased completely but are ‘cancelled’ in a process known as ‘cancelling a conviction record’. Once conviction records are cancelled, the individual will possess a clean criminal record. Therefore, the record of their convictions will be sealed in the Central Criminal Records Registry and is likely made unavailable to the police. To cancel a conviction record a period of time after having served the sentence must have elapsed (6 months, 2 years, 3 years or 5 years depending on the sentence); no further crime has been committed in the interim and civil compensation has been paid or the person has been declared without money. • Ireland. If 3 years has lapsed juveniles records are wiped clean. • In France for adults once the rehabilitation period has passed (depending on the severity of the conviction either three years for misdemeanors or five years for felony crimes, after the sentence was completed) the records of the convictions will remain on the system but will not show on the request of a record. In the case of minors and children, these are removed once the individual concerned has reached 18 years and/or three years from the date the crime was committed. • In Germany most adult convictions are deleted after 5, 10, 15 or 20 years, respectively.

  • Do Not Overhaul the 'WikiLeaks Act'
    Extract from 'The Goldwater': "The current laws are being overhauled by the British Government as it seeks to ban journalistic freedom. This will be the first official reworking of the Official Secrets Act in 100 years. The new law will mean that whistleblowers who leak information will face a massive 14-year prison sentence."
