• Stop people with mental health being arrested.
    I am a carer.I was looking after a lady with Autzimers when she became violent and distraught and attacked me.I called an ambulance for her thinking they could help.They called the police and she was dragged off screaming frightened and becoming more violent.She was handcuffed and locked in a cell for at least 2 days before she was referred to a hospital.This poor lady was now a criminal as she attacked a police officer out of fear.I cant believe this was the answer to helping a vunerable person with a mental health issue.

  • VW compensation refusal
    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 .

  • Hold Tony Blair to account for misleading statements prior to the Iraq War
    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.

  • Help stop the press lying to us
    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.

  • Public Enquiry into the Events leading upto and following the Death of Dr David Kelly
    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.

  • Tony Blair - War Criminal
    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.

  • Try Tony Blair for the Iraq war
    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.

  • When candidates make election promises they should do so under oath with real consequences
    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.

  • Stricter Regulations on Hate Speech and Discrimination
    Across the country there are teenagers being bullied every day using terms such as 'girly' 'gay' and other variations, these not only demean the person in question but tell everyone who reads it that being a girl or being gay is not okay. This backwards mindset can lead to depression, self harm and even suicide because society doesn't want to include minorities. If the head of a powerful company such as Mark Zuckerberg stood up to hate, then many would follow in his footsteps

  • Introduce "Contempt of Community" law
    The proliferation of cynical lies contained within the recent referendum debate from both sides of the argument has exacerbated the divisions and mistrust now held by our people. The subsequent admissions of the use of false information by some have the potential to depress voters and increase the feelings of the lack of integrity within our society. We all deserve a better attention to truth than is currently displayed.

  • Keep UKIP OUT of No 10
    As British and most of all being human, we have no room in our society for racism, it is a backward policy. We have hope that entry of a racist party into Downing Street is not possible, as the electorate is now becoming more cautious. However the result of the 23rd gives us cause to act. We need to protect this country for the greater good.
