• Safer trolleys for family shopping
    Grocery shopping with small children is never a fun job, nor anyone's first choice of outing with the children! However, shopping trolleys at budget supermarkets tend not to have the clip child safety restraints to deter little ones from standing up in the seat, or worse, falling from that height onto a solid concrete floor. If all supermarkets were to have appropriate and approved child safety belts, it would prevent numerous injuries and increase parental peace of mind.

  • Poet Laureate forJohn Cooper Clarke
    It's would be comparable with some of the honours given to popular music performers of Clarkes generation. It would show that poetry can entertain and reach a mass audience particularly the young. Like the landscapes of Lowery can turn 'down to earth' subjects into an art form and comment on society from a working class viewpoint.

  • Stop new Brittania build
    There are many infrastructure projects which would benefit from this spend including hospitals and schools. The Royal Yacht is elitist and the last thing we need to help working classes. The Daily Telegraph reports that ministers sense a growing passion for a new yacht, this would further increase the feelings that ordinary people have that they are being left behind whilst the rich get richer.

  • The Smiths Reunion
    Growing up in the Philippines in the '80s, me and thousands of other Filipino fans, and, for sure millions more all over the world who didn't grow up in the UK never had a chance to see them live. Since all members of the band are still active today doing their own solo performances, I would like to make a petition for them to make The Smiths fans happy and do a one-off worldwide tour. So, please, please, please, let us get what we want this time. Thank you very much.

  • Charlie McAulay Robertson as Scotland's Makar
    Too many talented people are going unrecognised, because they simply do not fit into the elitist niche. We need to collectively support our country's talents, and Charlie McAulay Robertson is one of them. Now a self published author of his own book "Waxing Saltirical" , he is still yet to be recognised.

  • Register "legal owner" and "registered keeper" on V5C log book
    When you buy a second hand vehicle you have no way of knowing whether the "registered keeper" is legally entitled to sell the vehicle. If you buy it and the "legal owner" disputes the sale you would have to give it back to the legal owner and lose your money paid. This would also stop the taking back of vehicles bought as "gifts" by the legal owner and given to the registered keeper. This has happened to my son, his dad bought him a car, and registered my son as the "registered keeper". They then fell out and the dad transferred the car into his own name as the "registered keeper", claiming that he was the "legal owner", then sold the car. Unbelievably, the dvla say this is allowed. The V5C document requesting the transfer was not signed by my son (the registered keeper) even though the document states that the registered keeper "must" sign. Apparently, the V5C wasn't signed at all! This isn't "fair" so by changing the V5C, prospective buyers and registered keepers will know where they stand as far as "ownership" is concerned.

  • STOP INVASIVE SPECIES DESTROYING NATIVE HABITATS
    Invasive species cause the loss of biodiversity, as well as the extinction of native plants, animals and fungi. Invasive species are introduced into an ecosystem by humans who release the non-native species into the wild. The invasive species wreck native ecosystems and will eventually cause the extinction of hundreds of native species. THE PROBLEM In England a major barrier to the effective control of invasive species lies in the INABILITY OF RELEVANT AUTHORITIES TO ACCESS LAND where problem species have become established. Neither can they force the landowners to notify them of the presence of named species nor can they take action to address invasions where it is reasonable to do so. THE SOLUTION In Scotland this problem has been rectified within Scottish legislation with the creation of ‘SPECIES CONTROL ORDER’ under the Wildlife and Natural Environment (Scotland) Act 2011. Ths act empowers authorities, LAND CAN NOW BE ACCESSED IN SCOTLAND, and COSTS CAN, if necessary, be recovered from landowners who do not take action. FINANCIAL COST In Britain approximately £1.7billion is spent every single year on trying to tackle the problem of invasive non-native species. The Woodland Trust spends approximately 4-5% of their total site management budget tackling Invasive Non Native Species (INNS), predominantly Rhododendron Ponticums

  • Music on the Piazza Margate
    It gives the local businesses a boost, it's important for the economic growth of Margate as it brings in visitors who listen to the music and spend money. Live music in this area does have a positive economic affect to the area. Visitors come back for the music festivals - Soul Weekend, Jazz Weekend, Skagate and the Mods and Rockers weekend. This impacts on local businesses - food, drink, accommodation, retro shops, restaurants, cafes etc who only have a limited time to make the money between Easter and September and it is dependant on the weather.

  • Re-instate Sound Money
    The current system of creating money through the sale of ever increasing layers of debt, and now, the BofE operating an unaccountable balance sheet which defies principle or prudence, is plumbing the depths of fantasy economics, is unsustainable in nature. It is starting to resemble a listing pirate ship liable to sink at any moment. Only Sound money can deliver a reduction of inequality, a sustainable future for the environment and the next generation and re-establish trust in government, creating a new united kingdom that everyone can believe in.
