  • Tell A E Yates to stop supplying fracking firm Cuadrilla
    The vast majority (84%) of people do not want fracking to happen. In June 2016 Lancashire County Council voted not to give planning permission to Cuadrilla after listening to local people's concerns about the effects of fracking on the water, air and soil. However, Cuadrilla appealed to the Secretary of State, who then overruled Lancashire. Work commenced at the fracking site on Preston New Road in January 2017. A E Yates have played a major role in supplying Caudrilla with workers, materials, plant and haulage. Without Yate's services, Cuadrilla will not be able to proceed so rapidly with fracking Lancashire

  • END ACID VIOLENCE IN THE U.K.
    National governments hold the responsibility to introduce and implement law and policies to protect our fundamental human rights in a cosmopolitan city like London. One of the reasons that acid attacks occur is due to cheap and easy availability of acid in the UK. The state has a due diligence obligation to prevent acid violence on our streets by enforcing tighter regulation of acid sales as well as enacting criminal laws to punish perpetrators. Prevention should start at schools by educating and working with youth to promote respectful relationships and gender equality. Research helps us to understand the causes and effects of acid violence to identify practical and feasible solutions to prevent such attacks whilst taking account of the impact this has on our trade and economy as a whole. We are asking for change in policies and laws that strike a fair and reasonable balance to protect the public whilst being considerate of the rights and duties of our traders, but ultimately our core aim is to punish the perpetrators of this callous act and promote a zero tolerance policy.

  • Stop Landlords Profiting from the £9Bn Housing Benefit Crisis
    Like many of us, I watched the recent airing of a BBC programme "The Week the Landlords Moved In" and felt a combination of sadness (for the tenants) and anger that Private Landlords - not all of them unscrupulous - profit fantastically from the Housing Benefits system. This is, after all, yours and my tax-payers' money that's being handed over, so let's make sure it's being put to better use and delivering value for money for all of us. It cannot be right that our hard-earned taxes are enriching that select few through the housing benefit system. If there are any financial surpluses created through these payments, then surely they should be channelled back into creating more Social Housing for those that need it.

  • Stricter border controls.
    Everyone who resides in the UK should make their contribution to it's upkeep. Forcing tax evaders to pay up might even furnish enough cash to lift the public servant's (Including yourselves at the Border Force) pay cap.

  • Stop the state pension age from rising to 68
    This is an outrageous decision by the government that will hit at the heart of the hard working people currently in their forties. Another blow to the working class.

  • state pension age
    Most people now in their 40's have been affected by a state pension age rise from 66 to 67, but now, today, the government wants you to work until you are aged 68. This has been pushed forward years earlier than originally proposed. It was to be implemented in 2044 but will now be implemented between 2037-2039. This will have a direct impact on all UK taxpayers currently aged between 39 and 47 who were born between 06/04/1970 - 05/04/1978 - a total of 6 million people in the UK working population paying taxes and national insurance contributions. People within this bracket have already had their state pension age pushed forward 1 year by this government in it's current tenure which is punishment enough. You should be entitled to retire and enjoy the benefits of retirement at 67 without moving the goalposts. This opportunistic government has not only upped your age before you can claim back for your contributions - now it wants another year from you. I want to see the UK taxpayers protected by applying legislation that only allows one change to retirement age in a persons working age. 1 working career = 1 change not punishment. Please lets get this voted for and debated in Parliament.

  • British fishing quotas
    It will benefit local communities which rely on fishing and establish us as a coastal nation in our own right. It will bring economic benefits to our fishing towns and villages and provide security and employment for future generations. It will make the fishermen locally accountable for catches and help sustainability of our fish stocks.

  • The Magic Money Tree
    To understand the Money Tree, see http://positivemoney.org/2017/06/magic-money-tree/ (who produced the picture above). A government is not a household where "money in" has to equate to "money out" for solvency. It is true that real resources are limited: oil, agriculture, fisheries, minerals, etc. as well people's time, energy and skill, but there is no limit to the government's capacity to create money, as money is not actually a real thing at all, it is a social construct that enables us to share these resources. It is known - from Bank of England papers as well as buried in economics texts - that MONEY IS ACTUALLY CREATED FROM NOTHING. Money is an idea to which we give value and number, and then we use it to distribute goods. We have to trust where it comes from. The government produces 3%, and the banks, private corporations, produce the other 97%. OOPS did I say that correctly? YES I did. Look up Positive Money or New Economics Foundation, or just "Money Creation". The ways in which money is created by commercial banks affects all other enterprises in which society is engaged. I call on you to ask the UK government to set up a parliamentary investigation into the impact that money creation by commercial banks has on society. Set up a commission to examine whether we currently have the right tools to deliver economic stability and to consider alternatives, including Positive Money’s proposal for Sovereign Money Creation. Whatever political perspective people take, many feel that something is very wrong with our society and our economics. It is time the monetary system itself was examined.
