I've just watched PETA's shocking video about fur farms in "Origin Assured" countries (http://petauk.org/originassured) and I can't understand why Harvey Nichols continues to support animal cruelty. Video footage shows how on fur farms in Finland, Sweden, the US and other Origin Approved countries, animals such as raccoons, rabbits and minks are kept in filthy wire cages, sometimes alongside the rotting corpses of other animals, and are often left to suffer from open, untreated wounds and even missing limbs. Please support this campaign and share it via soical media Thanks Tom

Many skateboarders and BMX riders rely on Hartsdown Skate Park to practice their sport. As well as being one of the first of the 1970's historic skate parks in the country, this is a very important place for many people. Many young local people start skating and riding here, it's a social meeting place as well as a place for sport and artistic talent. World professional riders and skaters have learned their sport at this very spot. Thanet District Council have proposed to move the skate park elsewhere and to demolish and fill in the original site. It's far more sustainable and cheaper to repair and upgrade the existing site than to destroy it and make a new one in another location.

Safety for our children. This is a really dangerous crossing with cars coming from a blind bend too fast and major building works about to start. It is a major crossing point for a lot of people. Since there has been an absence of a lollipop man/lady, it has become difficult to cross the road safely for the children. Also I have seen on several occasions children just running out into the road, sometimes oblivious to oncoming traffic! Luckily the driver wasn't one of the many idiots we get driving around these back roads like its a rally course! Please get a lollipop man/woman to help patrol the road before and after school times. The lollipop person provides a much needed service at a crucial crossing point. There has been a Lollipop lady/man there as far as I can remember back to the early 70's. Not to mention the countless health and safety risks that would be introduced by not having a lollipop lady/man. Without the added safety of a Lollipop lady/man there is a genuine concern that serious injury or a fatality may result. Please sign this as it is really important we don't lose these Lollipop Patrol.

This is important because members of the public and the business community are ill informed about the damage being caused to the world by the constant search for profit. They are complacent about the risks of climate change, and no one is telling people the truth. It is business as usual, when the reality is that we need to start making some serious changes to our way of life. We need to stop cutting down all the trees in order to grow money making crops. Business leaders need to learn to respect the environment.

The Crystal Palace Stadium is part of our athletics heritage and is an important training facility for aspiring athletes as it has an outdoor & indoor track. This stadium has hosted major sporting events for decades, and could continue to do so for many years to come if development of the site retains the Stadium & indoor training facilities

I am a retired midwife and promoting breastfeeding has been one of the passions during my career. Much evidence exists on the health and financial benefits of breastfeeding. In 2012, Unicef published "Preventing disease and saving resources: The potential contribution of increasing breastfeeding rates in the UK" which looked at how raising breastfeeding rates could save the NHS money through improving health outcomes. Although overall breastfeeding rates (at birth) nationally has increased between 2005-2010, breastfeeding drop-off rates at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months continue to be high. Guidance recommends that for optimum health benefits, babies should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life (The Public Health England 2013 Report). The Equality Act (2010) says that 'A business cannot discriminate against mothers who are breastfeeding a child of any age.' Although Louise Burns was not asked to leave the premises, the fact she was asked to cover up made her feel uncomfortable and humiliated whilst discreetly doing what comes most naturally to her as a mother. Far too often, one hears of breastfeeding mothers being discriminated by ignorance, prejudice and practices out of step with what defines a progressive society. Any company that has such a policy should be targeted.

The governors and head have been meeting in secret with REAch2 over the past months and have decided to take this community school out of council control and into the private sector without so much as asking the parents for their views. This is not lawful and not in the best interests of the children. Let's tell them that we demand to be heard. Let them make their case to us. Let's not let them dictate that our children's education should be privatised. We would like answers to the following questions: 1) Why was the decision to seek academy status made in secret and without consultation? 2) When was this decision made, by whom, and with what outside influence? 3) What advice has the school received from Local Authority with regards to consultation? 4) At what point in the process where REAch2 selected as the trust? 5) What other trusts have made representations to our school? 6) Why was the decision to select REAch2 made in secret and without consultation? 7) What influence have they had on school policy and communications over the last several months? 8) What communications have the school received from the DfE and the LA on this subject?

Local residents, particularly the hundreds whose homes overlook Admiralty Square, rarely get to enjoy this green space. There is nothing attractive about it. It is made even less appealing by the frequent dogs taken there to foul (who sometimes fight). It is not considered by local residents as clean nor safe nor likeable. A traditional and historic London square such as this, is somewhere that should be embraced, nurtured and shared by the community - not forgotten, neglected and avoided.

The Archers is very dear to me and I don't want the story lines being like the awful, sensational TV soaps. It is no longer the everyday story of countryfolk leading everyday lives.

The Archers has been a part of the rhythm of my life for the last 40 years, the characters are more like friends than fictional constructs and the complete change in the tone of the story lines and the numerous cast changes has turned the series from a beloved friend into a monstrous carbuncle.

Without this, singles will be wide open to discrimination in employment, housing, credit facilities, leisure facilities etc.

This the same as proposing to spy directly on our thoughts. Why is this? Thinking people will see that it is only the TECHNOLOGY that changes between spying on our internet intimacy and the spying on the intimacy of our thoughts. Scientists have ALREADY been able to 'read our thoughts' using an electronic implant. If these (irresponsible) power seekers proposed today to spy on our thoughts, there would be such a hue and cry that it would shake the very foundations of our society. We need to make sure that this erosion of our human rights, this constant leveraging of available technology by the ‘in power’ spies is outlawed once and for all. Perhaps this would be a good reason to have (within the UK) a written constitution? The argument that it is all done for the common good is not good enough – not unless you wish your thoughts to be opened up to scrutiny in future by the then ‘democratic or undemocratic’ power brokers. SAY NO NOW.
