• Reform the Banking System
    If recessions are to be eliminated from the UK economy the control of money by the private bankers must be ended. Because the more money that they create the more unbalanced the economy becomes.

  • There's a housing crisis!
    Am I crazy? Surely giving social housing tenants the right to buy their homes and reducing their rent by 1% every year for four years is good news. Don't be fooled! In the short term these measures might seem advantageous to people living in social housing. In fact in the long term they pose a real threat to the very organisations that provide such housing and therefore to the tenants and future tenants. They also pose a threat to every taxpayer. Who will pay to pick up the pieces when housing associations (RPs) go under? Once lost to a social housing landlord, rent money cannot be recovered. Social landlords will not benefit financially from the sell-off of their properties - people's homes - but will have insufficient surpluses with which to replace them with new housing. Many RPs will have to shelve indefinitely their plans to develop new housing. Much social housing is old and costly to maintain. RPs might also have drastically to curtail their plans to modernise these homes. If they're really strapped for cash, routine maintenance plans will also be adversely affected. The knock-on effects of the Government's plans are serious and wide-ranging. There is a housing crisis! This is not the time to be impoverishing the very organisations that could help to remedy that.

  • start fielding candidates in england
    There was a cry from a lot of places, mostly the north of England, for the SNP to field candidates in England. it would provide people with an alternative to voting UKIP as a protest vote. the many former Labour voters have nothing left to believe in, with Labour and the Tories moving further to the right. it would give people in England hope, that there is a decent socialist alternative, and put the fear of god up the right wing parties.

  • Bring the MPs pay back down from £75,000 to £67,000
    £64,000 is plenty amount of cash for members of parliament, so why are the MPs taking a large pay rise while the BBC and working families take a pay cut for already rich MPs to get a higher pay check. It's selfish and we must stop it. There pay rise is causing damage to working families and public services (Eg Transport) the BBC is now on its knees

  • Promote UK tax paying companies
    I have run businesses for over 20 years and in that time have had numerous dealings with HMRC. Often this has been to try and delay a payment to them in order help my cashflow as running a small business can at times be very difficult. The overriding argument for me to pay on time was always the same, it would give me an unfair advantage over other businesses if they were lenient with my tax debts. Although I may not have liked this at the time it is true, so how is it that firms like Amazon can sell to UK consumers whilst paying no tax on the profit from these sales?

  • Keep the RBS PUBLIC
    It is wrong for taxpayers, who will surely stand to lose substantial amounts in any such fire sale. It is wrong for small businesses, as ministers and voters will lose whatever grip they had on directing lending to hard-pressed companies that are facing bankruptcy or big losses thanks to the harsh financing terms extended by high-street banks. And finally, it is wrong for the British economy, which is struggling to emerge from a severe recession caused by banks running wild.

  • PEACE NOW
    Following the recent massacres in Egypt, France, Kuwait and Tunisia it's time for real action by world governments. Irresponsible governments and regimes must understand that the people of the world can't watch more bloodshed in silence. If we don't see real action to bring about peace in the world we will act.

  • BABB - Boycott Amazon Buy British
    PLEASE SIGN THE BABB PETITION - Boycott Amazon and Buy British! Why? 1. Amazon are operating at at huge advantage over British tax paying companies. Book shops to electrical stores cannot compete with a non tax paying company. 2. Every £ spent by British consumers with Amazon is leaving the country with no tax benefit for the UK. The argument that to lose Amazon would mean losing jobs and therefore income tax is not true. The UK consumer spend with Amazon will still exist but can go to British tax paying companies, keeping our tax in this country and helping create jobs within these companies. I have run businesses for over 20 years and in that time have had numerous dealings with HMRC. Often this has been to try and delay a payment to them in order help my cashflow as running a small business can at times be very difficult. The overriding argument for me to pay on time was always the same, it would give me an unfair advantage over other businesses if they were lenient with my tax debts.

  • STOP MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES EVADING UK TAXATION
    The EU seems to be up for it, but for some unknown reason George Osborne is against it! WTF is going on here?! Every year our budget as a nation of taxpayers is denied billions of pounds of legitimate revenue because the Tory Government is too spineless to tackle this issue. Or are they simply in cahoots?! If they are, this is corruption at the highest level... This is a well documented issue. Many big multinational companies find ways to evade corporate taxation by allegedly basing their operation in tax havens such as Luxembourg. This is the oldest dodge in the book and it has run out of credibility. If these companies are doing huge amounts of business with UK taxpayers, they should pay their dues to HMRC. This should be an open and shut case, but it's not, mainly because they are not being brought to book by the government.

  • Let mature students access new Masters scholarships
    To restrict postgraduate funding to very new graduates excludes a vast proportion of the population who could undertake Masters level study to benefit both their own career and the academic institutions at which they study. It discriminates on the grounds of age, when arguably some of the most valuable Masters candidates are those with a good level of industry experience who can bring more than just intelligence to their chosen course. Widening eligibility criteria for government funding is essential to allow proper functioning of postgraduate education and research in the UK.
