  • James Clerk Maxwell for RBS Banknote
    James Clerk Maxwell stands beside Einstein and Newton in the trinity of physicists who explained how the universe works. The other two are global superstars, but Maxwell is barely known in his own country, Scotland. To celebrate a great man and encourage future generations to take risks and think big, Maxwell should be the face on the next RBS banknote. The greatest Scotsman to ever live deserves to be a household name.

  • Refugees Welcome in East Hoathly
    David Cameron announced we’ll welcome 20,000 more Syrian refugees. But there’s a catch. This will take 5 years, leaving thousands of refugees in limbo. It’s now up to us to show that in cities, towns and villages all across the country we’re ready to welcome people now. Aylan, the toddler who drowned fleeing Syria, was just three years old. His town was under attack by Isis. His five year old brother and his mum also died trying to reach safety.We don't want Britain to be the kind of country that turns its back as people drown in their desperation to flee places like Syria. So let's stand up for Britain's long tradition of helping refugees fleeing war. Let's show the Prime Minister that we, the people of the UK, are proud to do our part and provide refuge to people in their hour of need. Please sign and share, or start your own petition for your town or city here: https://you.38degrees.org.uk/efforts/refugees-welcome

  • A curriculum to prepare us all for life?
    We believe that the place of citizenship education and PSHE in the curriculum should be radically overhauled through a youth-led UK-wide review; they are really important for young people’s growth and development as they teach vital life skills and can be the first steps to engaging young people in political life. Teaching staff should be specifically trained to a national standard to deliver citizenship education following this review. A curriculum to prepare us for life is important to the many young people in the united Kingdom, during the UKYP national debate at the house of commons this came in as the top 5 priority to deal with and as a DMYP i will make sure that there education prepares them for life hence the title 'curriculum to prepare us for life' this will hopefully if successful allow students to gain access to an education that will include things such as: • Political Education • Sex and Relationships Education • Cultural Awareness Education • Community Cohesion Education • Finance Skills Education • Sustainable Living Education • Citizenship Education If you want to know more visit the link below: http://www.ukyouthparliament.org.uk/campaign/curriculum-life/

  • Open Halstead Church to the Homeless for Winter
    This redundant Anglican church is empty and not used for religious ceremonies. In the face of continuing "austerity" more and more people are facing a cold winter on the streets. The Church can afford to open this church in an act of Christian goodwill over the winter months. Please help to get the Churches Conservation Trust to open their doors.

  • Tim Sherwood: Monday Night Football
    The football world has reacted sadly to the news that Gary Neville will be taking over at Valencia, vacating his place on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football. His insight will be missed. There is only one man who can replace Gary and unite the nation. That man is Tim Sherwood. With his unique mix of cutting edge insight, banter, sartorial elegence and second to none punditry, Tim is who we want. Nay, Tim is who we need.

  • John Lewis : Christmas Parties not Adverts
    In UK an estimated 400,000 elderly people are lonely on Christmas Day. If John Lewis decided to spend £7 million on providing a party for them instead of advertising, it would mean an immediate £17.50 per head ... and even more than that if other large chain stores would get involved. The free publicity they would get from this wonderful gesture would encourage perhaps more people to feel like buying Christmas gifts from them.

  • Ticket sales and Booking and Administration fees
    This is important because people have to pay an administration fee, then a booking fee, then a postage fee. Ticket allocators like Ticketmaster are using other second hand party allocators to sell tickets and this also puts the price of tickets up. Not everyone can afford these very demanding prices, don't forget we also have the price of the ticket to pay for as well.

  • Withdraw 'The Sun' from circulation
    Recent headlines claiming that 1 in 5 Muslims in the UK are sympathetic to ISIS is wrong and inflammatory. The consequence of these types of headlines will undoubtably result in hate crimes against Muslims in our community. Yes, ISIS (although we should refer to them as Daesh') - are evil and have to be dealt with, but associating Muslims with them, does no one any favours, especially in this way. Lest it is forgotten that they already kill Muslims.

  • Use the Name "Daesh" for the terrorist organisation instead of IS
    Innocent Muslims are being persecuted as a result of the mistaken assumption that they support the aims of this terrorist organisation. This is exacerbated by the use of a name which refers to Islam in general. This organisation is neither Islamic nor a State; is use implies culpability of all Muslims. It is part of the Wahhabi sect which is disowned by virtually the whole of Islam, apart from the Saudi Arabian state. They regard even other Muslims as infidels and this gives them license to treat them as subhuman. The term "Daesh" is the common name for them among their enemies; it sounds insulting in Arabic. To say "so called" is not enough; that is what they call themselves and want to be called.

  • Stop calling IS ISLAMIC State. They don't represent Islam.
    By calling them Islamic State we as a country are legitimising their links to Islam. This gives a negative view of Islam to the population and fuels Islamaphobia. It allows manipulation of the public by right wing political parties and press to further their agenda. It helps in the radicalisation of disenfranchised youths by the ties the name has with the community and on reflection glamourises the call to arms. Remember that most of the young people who are radicalised are young males who feel isolated and bow to peer pressure (2 of the Paris attackers were until 6 weeks ago running bars. Hardly strict followers of Islam). I want my baby to grow up in a society where we look at people who have differences with intrigue and not fear.
