its our money, we should have the right to know

I have been campaigning for this for 20 years and each year the debilitating cashflow problems increase for 1 in 6 of the adult workforce that are running their own businesses. Many large corporations are making money by keeping their smaller busness suppliers waiting for payment (an average of 72 days). This is as much due to unfair contract terms of above 30 days (e.g. 60 day and 75 day terms are prevalent) which smaller businesses cannot afford to refuse as it is to late payment. Micro (0-9 employees) business owners (96% of all businesses) especially cannot afford to complain about bad payment practice from their biggest customers. Whilst the 5 million self employed people in the UK rarely have large corporations as their customers they have customers that do have large organisations as customers. On average self employed people earn £60 a week less today than in 1995 (£240 as against £300) and a major reason for this is higher costs and indebtedness (credit facilities and loans) due to crippling cashflow issues. If all those organisations that national, regional and local Government contract with, licence or fund paid ALL their suppliers within 30 days it would get over £96 billion, per annum, circulating twice as fast in the economy and help micro business owners make ends meet, earn the living wage and many more would be able to grow their businesses. As most of the new jobs each year come from newly self employed people their abilty to suvive and thrive is important for the UK economy as well. #PayIn30Days

Small, independent businesses will drop. They give London a character. This is imprudent and obstructing business growth.

Some years ago Banks and Building Societies pledged to never send emails to customers containing active links. This simple device meant that if a customer received an email with an active link in it, they would know it was a fraudulent email (potential scam, phisher or concealed virus etc) and that they should delete it to remain safe. Barclaycard have steadfastly refused to do this for their customers. This is a call to Barclaycard: If you REALLY care about your customers, then STOP SENDING CUSTOMERS EMAILS CONTAINING ACTIVE LINKS.

There are many infrastructure projects which would benefit from this spend including hospitals and schools. The Royal Yacht is elitist and the last thing we need to help working classes. The Daily Telegraph reports that ministers sense a growing passion for a new yacht, this would further increase the feelings that ordinary people have that they are being left behind whilst the rich get richer.

House prices are already falling behind other areas of the country and the already crumbling roads cant cope with the extra traffic. The environment will be destroyed and the money will not remain in the Fylde and maybe not in the UK. A study shows that the increase in employment is dwarfed by the loss of agriculture jobs not to mention the reduction in the tourism industry.

at the moment each & every electric/gas quote is split between Kw/Hr & various standing charges so get them to make them all one price so people can understand them easier & see what is cheaper & dearer. Please vote for this petition to get them to organise prices we can all understand easily

The current system of creating money through the sale of ever increasing layers of debt, and now, the BofE operating an unaccountable balance sheet which defies principle or prudence, is plumbing the depths of fantasy economics, is unsustainable in nature. It is starting to resemble a listing pirate ship liable to sink at any moment. Only Sound money can deliver a reduction of inequality, a sustainable future for the environment and the next generation and re-establish trust in government, creating a new united kingdom that everyone can believe in.

This has created a massive impact on the UK welfare population that goes all the way to mothers caring for their disabled children, charging people ludicrous fines and causing much suffering for those affected. For example of this here's links to supporting articles such as a woman accused of being married to a dead pensioner http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/37339981 http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/teen-mum-tax-credits-stopped-8825953

The corporate world needs to be told that they profit from us plenty without needing to steal from us. As well as this petition, I suggest everybody goes into an apple shop and talk with the helpful sales staff about their products. Then ask them about the unpaid taxes and inform them you won't be buying anymore until THEIR company does the right thing. Each worker is a shareholder after all, so they have power and they are all profiting from the dodgy dealings.

The increased public awareness as a result of this amendment would put pressure on international corporations to adhere to country tax regulations, and expose criminal financial action.

If Torbay council can get this through, then every council in the land will be punishing the disabled and poor families, for being poor. What is being proposed? They are proposing to make ten changes that are listed below to the current scheme from 1 April 2017: Reducing the maximum level of support to 55% of the council tax charge Restrict the maximum level of support to the equivalent of a band C property charge Savings limit of £3,000 Removal of the family premium Reducing backdating for new claims to one month Basing the reduction on a set minimum income for self-employed earners after one year’s self-employment Reducing the period a person can be absent from Great Britain and still receive a reduction to four weeks Removing the work related activity component for new ESA applicants Limiting the number of dependent children within the calculation to a maximum of two Removing entitlement to Severe Disability Premium where another person is paid Universal Credit (Carers Element) The last one is really poisonous, remove entitlement to Carers!!!
