• Use the word Daesh not Isis or So Called Islamic State
    I would like the BBC to acknowledge the power of words to unify or divide. Most members of the public are now familiar with the term Daesh and know that it is the same as Isis but it does not acknowledge any link to correct Islamic practice. At a time when Daesh is using propaganda to drive a wedge between Muslims and Non-Muslims, the BBC has to be aware of the affects of the choices of its words and unfortunately there is no neutral word in this circumstance.

  • damaging, racist and hateful drawing in the daily mail
    This image instigates racial hatred and violence! I find this image unacceptable, offensive and an act of racism from the Daily Mail which will only create further divide and hate among people. After the shocking events of the weekend, surely now more than ever, we need to come together instead of creating a larger divide through hateful propagander!

  • We want a Facebook filter for global solidarity against terrorism.
    In a world traumatised by acts of terror, we should only ever divide ourselves into those people who live their lives in love of their fellow man, woman and child and those who live by hate and fear. Never by colour, belief or geographic location. We are strongest if we stand together, side by side, against those who would divide us with extremism and terror. Those who would break us will often attempt to turn their victims against each other. Let's remember that we're in this together. And together, as one people is the only way we can win.

  • Extra Third Trimester Scan to Prevent Premature and IUGR Births
    This is important to me as my first daughter was born IUGR and we were not aware , when I became pregnant with my second daughter we were given am extra third trimester Doppler scan which detected the IUGR and Reverse chord flow, which led to a better planned pregnancy and early delivery. My Girls are in my photo Rubie was born at 32/40 @ 2lb 7oz delivered via EMCS due to IUGR and severe pre-eclampsia .. Rubie is now a happy average 5 year old at the same level as other children her age with no learning disabilities. Scarlet was born 30/40 @ 1lb 8oz due to severe early onset IUGR and reverse chord flow via EMCS only detected because of an extra Doppler scan. Scarlet is now a happy average 1 year old hitting all her milestones with no disabilities. Although both are tiny for their age.

  • Respect for Veterans on Remembrance Day
    Bonfire Night is no longer celebrated on just one day or even over that weekend, but over a few weeks. Many of our veterans suffer in silence at this time of year with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and loud fireworks cause them much distress and suffering and flash backs. They have done so much for our country, why can't we give them the respect they deserve.

  • Renew In The Flesh
    This television show contains a range of diverse characters, including those of the LGBTQ+ community, and an incredibly strong female character. The show is important for those of LGBTQ+ community as it boosts representation among media (also the sexuality of the characters in question is never explicitly stated, which is how sexuality should be dealt with as no one should have to come out), and deals with sexuality as it should be dealt with. Mental illness is also depicted in the show, which raises awareness and may help to end stigma around mental health issues, and deals with them in a way that not only spreads awareness at how serious they are, but also shows the aftermath of the consequences of some mental health issues (i.e. suicide). Finally, although the program is a 'zombie' show it is not a stereotypical zombie show. It is bursting with original ideas and concepts, and deals with far more issues than a regular TV show. In The Flesh is an incredibly important program to so many, and the renewal of it would mean so much to a lot of people, young and old alike.

  • Boycott stores playing Christmas music in November
    1. It's only November . 2. It is repetitive rubbish that we have all heard a million times before and should be confined to the week before the 'big day', if at all, then binned. 3. It is designed to make you go deliberately insane and start panic buying cheap random junk for people you don't see very often or don't like. . 4. Cliff Richard . 5. The same song follows you around all day, whatever store you go into. You can't get away from it. 6. And the Christmas queues - you just can't escape quickly. Having your toe nails ripped out would be preferable. 7. Slade 8. Those bells, those bloomin' bells, they're in my head, I can't rid of them. Kill me now.

  • SAVE THE FM SIGNAL
    Please reconsider AGAIN on the future of the FM signal switching off. There will be many who cannot afford anew Digital radio,and will all be able to receive a signal. All FM car radios will be made useless,along with the many in households throughout the UK.In our household we have had 3/4 digital radios and all have been hopeless. We are fortunate to now have afforded a Bose Wave radio,which is connected to a proper aerial,with a good signal,and exceptional performance,however,not everyone is as fortunate as us.... A radio is the only contact some people, especially older folk, have with the human voice /outside world...Is this a police state we are living in?...I hope not,especially in my lifetime..I am a pensioner and do have some knowledge of modern tech, how about you? Why do we all have to conform to this decision in the switch off,when nobody as far as I know has been consulted.We are a "free country?" are we not?

  • Open up empty buildings in Powys
    To plead to the Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings.

  • Free TV licences for welfare pensioners
    Over 2 million pensioners will not receive the new state pension and will have to continue to live on £133 per week - some only receive £115 per week state benefits. For a Government that boasted a basic state pension of £155 per week, conveniently forgot to mention all existing pensioners will not receive this amount. To then expect them to pay the licence fee on top of their daily living costs, when they have little or no money to spare, is a damning indictment of the lack of care this government has for those at the bottom of the welfare heap. As a pensioner myself I know many pensioners who find it hard it is to pay their way, keep warm and eat healthily. You only have to look at the number of deaths of older people in the winter months because they don't have enough money to live on. I want you to sign the petition, so that we can put pressure on the Government to include welfare pensioners of all ages getting a free TV licence.
