This is important because thousands of innocent people are losing their lives on the grounds of their sexuality, something they simply CANNOT change. It promotes hatred and propagates the children. Those who are gay and want to live a normal life don't have this option as a result of its prejudice and legal position.

Around 3pm on 4th September 2015 the Danish armed warship HDMS Knud Rasmussen entered Lerwick harbour and took the small boat Echo aboard before leaving for the Faroe islands half an hour later. The Echo had been seized from the Dutch-registered Sea Shepherd ship Sam Simon on 1 September by Lerwick police at the request of the Danish authorities, in response to a letter of request issued by the Faroese chief of police on 22August. The seizure followed the small boat’s involvement in the defense of 61 pilot whales at a grindadráp at Sandavágur on 12 August. On Thursday police informed Sea Shepherd’s lawyers that the Echo would be held for a week, giving the lawyers time to appeal the seizure but the Danish authorities fast tracked the extradition and the Scottish police released the boat to the Danish vessel. Insisting the small boat be returned to Lerwick at least until the appeal process is completed is an important signal to the Faroe Islands and their Danish protectors that they cannot ride roughshod over the justice system of another country without consequence.

Marijuana has been proven virtually harmless multiple times through verified studies. Along with this the effects of it are less than alcohol and the effects are less permanent. Marijuana is far safer than both Tobacco and Alcohol yet is still banned in the United Kingdom today. The evidence is all there to prove it is safe and should be legal. Pros: Weed is 114 times safer than alcohol Since being legalised in American States, Overall, crime has fallen by 15% and murder has dropped by 50%. Dope is actually less addictive than drinking coffee Legalising weed would recharge the British economy (If we legalised cannabis, up to £900m could be raised annually in taxes, according to the Institute for Economic Research.) Cons: You feel really tired and lazy for a few hours Smoking can harm the body ( Though edibles are 100% safe) So should it really still be banned?

The undermining of access to justice is gaining pace under the Conservative government and that denies UK citizens their rights to seek a legally binding outcome to their issues. It is also a serious attack on the democratic process. The discussions thus far have highlighted travel times to other courts as not being unduly difficult. However, this focusses on car users. For those that need to attend court by use of public transport this can become a major impediment to their access to justice. It indeed appears to be a deliberate action to deny justice to vast swathes of the population

Rescues are overcrowded with dogs, sold by people indiscriminately for a few pounds, they are not interested in the future care of the dog, they see it as a money spinner. A lot of these dogs are bred by people that are "out of work" and see it as a means to an end to earn undisclosed income. The law should be tightened up like they have done in Bradford, where anybody that breeds even 1 litter should have a licence This should be made law so councils should be made to police it and charge for the number of litters per year. It is unfair to the taxpayer that some people are earning lots of money without disclosing it. Also Rescues end up taking the brunt once the "puppy" gets older and they can't afford to look after it. The laws need tightening up rapidly. The legimate breeders face a tough challenge from these "unlicensed" breeders and get inundated with dogs with no where to put them.

It's important not to ignore duty of care, decriminalizing cannabis so that people can use it as medicine for thereselves will elevate pressure away from the n.h.s, boost the economy and help people get off the opium, heroin and morphine based drugs which are getting people addicted or worse though overuse

Democracy in Malaysia is at danger of being overtaken by the dictatorial rule of PM Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak who has been accused of misappropriating public funds. Billions have been moved around the world in suspicious circumstances and the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) had reported that RM2.6 bilion (US$700mil) had been transferred into PM Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's personal bank accounts. The PM has attempted to silence the people through blocking internet sites, suspending the publishing of selected newspapers, the arrests of politicians, media representatives, individuals who protest the misappropriation or those who are involved in its investigation. The Ministry of Home Affairs, Malaysia has through abuse of discretionary powers removed evidence compiled by the "Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)" in their investigation of 1MDB, to thwart investigations and where some of MACC’s personnel were arrested or questioned. The gabenor of the national bank has been removed and the Malaysian authorities in its attempt to further silence the people have issued an arrest warrant for Clare Rewcastle-Brown, the editor-in-chief of the Sarawak Report who has been most vocal in revealing the truth to the people.

He has ridiculed the system the standards of which he allegedly monitored. see http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/6560352/Baron-John-Sewel-drug-binges-with-prostitutes.html

Deporting political activists to Sri Lanka poses a serious threat to their lives. The current Sri Lankan government is looking more unstable. The warmonger Mahinda Rajapaksa has confirmed that he will stand in the coming election and the political situation never looked more unstable. A no-confidence motion was passed against prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, and was signed by 112 MPs. It has been six years since the end of the bloody war but still no independent international investigation has taken place into war crimes and no justice given to the victims and survivors. The delay in the UNHRC report – which in March was put back by six months – is seen as a delay in justice to the Tamil people, and led to protests by Jaffna University students and many others. But the hoped for democratic breathing space under the new government was short lived. Although earlier this year there was a change of government, the rights of the Tamil minority, and other oppressed people, are still being attacked. Militarisation and land grabs continue in the north and east province, where most Tamils live. Recently, the right to protest was attacked by the government following the gang rape of a schoolgirl. This sparked a countrywide protest against violence against women but the Sri Lankan government is using this as an opportunity to spark up fear that ‘terrorism’ is on the rise. Under president Maithripala Sirisena no major change has taken place to protect political activists in Sri Lanka. They are persecuted for defending the rights of the people and continue to be imprisoned or abducted. Many still go missing and the disappearance list is on the increase. Freedom of speech and the right to protest are under attack. Tamils continue to be arrested on return to Sri Lanka. Suresh Premachandran MP and spokesperson for the Tamil National Alliance even told the Tamil diaspora not to return to Sri Lanka – http://www.tamilsolidarity.org/?p=4138 – Amongst the many returnees who have been arrested, only two have been released. These people were arrested by the Terrorism Investigation Department (TID). The newly elected president not only failed to address the issues of the rights of Tamil and Muslim people, it has continued with the agenda of the previous regime. The state is whipping up fear and xenophobia to perpetuate the military occupation, and maintains the culture of impunity through the Prevention of Terrorism Act. The recent report, ‘The Long Shadow of War: Struggle for Justice in Post War Sri Lanka’, by the US-based Oakland Institute think-tank, finds that thousands of people continue to be missing since the war ended in spite on the government’s promise to engage in a process of truth and reconciliation. Sri Lanka is not a safe place to send back those who have fled that country to save their lives. Deporting political activists back to Sri Lanka puts them at real danger of arrest on arrival, and the high risk of torture, and their disappearance.
