Blueberry Hill is a small family business, the last independent shoe retailer based in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. We have been established for more than 55 years and for 30 years we have been selling Dr Martens. Begining of January 2017 Airwair International closed our trade account, the reason been "we are repositioning our brand" and we weren't spending enough with them. Our livelyhood is based around the sale of Dr Martens, without them we may have to close down after 50 years of service. We don't want this to happen. So we want to change their minds with you help.

Lewes District Council has just announced that it will no longer calculate Council Tax Relief based on self-employed people’s actual income and that it will now use an arbitrary income figure based on a calculation of 37 hours times the Minimum Wage. This will have the effect of immediately cutting the amount given in Relief to many of our hard-working self-employed. In this area many local residents are self-employed and together make a huge economic contribution to our area. They are to be valued, not penalised.

National newspapers in the UK set the tone and agenda of the political debate and can influence policies which result in cost to the public purse or cuts to public services. Yet much of the national press is owned by people who avoid the consequences of such policies, either because they are foreign nationals or, by using “non-Dom” status and/or offshore “financial instruments’, to avoid paying the taxes which would give them a stake in the policies their newspapers advocate. In other words they influence policy but do not pay for the consequences - an example of representation without taxation which undermines the concept of public service and accountability."

28000 low income families have been underpaid in tax credits from 2011-2014. HMRC are refusing to pay monies owed. Caring for a disabled child is a full time job and often compels parents to give up work. Money and time are tight and checking the Government is paying what you are owed is one task too many. The denial of these tax credits has already caused great hardship. To receive it now would make an incredible difference to challenged lives.
