Transport for London recently decided that bus passengers would no longer be able to pay their fares with cash, but instead could only pay with Oyster cards that need to have credit put on them in advance, or with contactless debit cards. This means that if someone doesnt realise their Oyster card has run out of credit, and doesn't have a debit card (as many don't), they are unable to use the bus. This leaves people stranded and unable to use the only form of transport available to many. It is often difficult to find a shop which will put credit on the oyster card, and all the machines are switched off at 9 or 10 o'clock. If you lose your card or can't find a shop that does it, you are stranded. It is impractical, not fit for purpose, and discriminates against those who can not afford other means of transport.

Because the majority of British people cannot take you seriously if you keep beating us up for more of our hard earned money whilst you give it away to your money-grabbing city chums.

Democracy in Malaysia is at danger of being overtaken by the dictatorial rule of PM Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak who has been accused of misappropriating public funds. Billions have been moved around the world in suspicious circumstances and the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) had reported that RM2.6 bilion (US$700mil) had been transferred into PM Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's personal bank accounts. The PM has attempted to silence the people through blocking internet sites, suspending the publishing of selected newspapers, the arrests of politicians, media representatives, individuals who protest the misappropriation or those who are involved in its investigation. The Ministry of Home Affairs, Malaysia has through abuse of discretionary powers removed evidence compiled by the "Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC)" in their investigation of 1MDB, to thwart investigations and where some of MACC’s personnel were arrested or questioned. The gabenor of the national bank has been removed and the Malaysian authorities in its attempt to further silence the people have issued an arrest warrant for Clare Rewcastle-Brown, the editor-in-chief of the Sarawak Report who has been most vocal in revealing the truth to the people.

Currently the big 5 supermarkets control the price paid for farmers production where once dozens of small dairies, abattoirs, butchers and other small businesses bought at a fair price to the farmer of 50% of the end price. Now the supermarkets buyers control that price, and profiteer pushing farmers to the brink of bankruptcy. The marvellous countryside of the UK is cared for largely by farmers if we do not support them, our countryside will cease to be a vibrant place Our lambs here in the Scottish Border hills sold for £80 at this time last year are now down to under £60 - the supermarket price is nearly unaltered

The recent scandal involving Lord Sewel has highlighted the fact that peers can claim a £300 allowance for sitting in the Upper Chamber. Surely this level of subsidy is the real scandal here!

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.

Offer the people of Wirral the same as other councils are doing in different towns and keep Birkenhead as a busy little town. Free parking after 3pm on all Wirral shopping car parks if Perch Rock is still kept free why not offer this to the shopping areas as new development keeps free parking as it busier there but the quite shopping areas have to pay to park What do our MP's Frank Field Angle Eagle To name just two there's plenty more that don't really seam to worry about they citizens of Wirral we pay for tunnel for the privilege of living here it's only the Wirral people that use it to go to work outta the areas

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.

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.

£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

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.

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.
