My name is Elysce. I am 11 years old and live in Liverpool. My favourite thing to do in the world is read, and hope one day to become an author and that people will read the stories I have written. I have read hundreds of books and love finding new ones in my library. I think it would be an awful thing to take away the books from people. If I do become an author when I am older, people should be able to visit the libraries and read my stories. I love visiting the libraries in Liverpool, and my mum was happy that I spent lots of time in the summer holidays visiting them. I also went to a 2 week camp called "book it" my mum has told me that the council paid a lot of money for me to go, and that they are partners with the company who organised it, so what I don't understand is, why encourage children to read, and spend a lot of money getting them interested in it, and all of a sudden take it away!! Please please please support and help my to stop the libraries from closing in Liverpool. I couldn't imagine how boring life would be if we had no books. Someone once said: "In the library one often finds, people close their mouths and open their minds" I really think that this is true. Thank you

Fiona Woolf is an establishment insider with links to Leon Brittan and others in high positions within the establishment. We need an independent person without bias but who will allow victims to participate and be included on the panel/team. "We the People" will not accept or tolerate any more cover-ups which actually protect the guilty and leave the abused in a worse situation.

My name is Laura Wilson and I have lived on St Peters Street, Lowestoft for 6 years. I am married with a 3 year old son and a baby on the way. On 13/08/14 I had been watching TV and had fallen asleep on my sofa. My son was asleep and my husband at work. I was 5 months pregnant. At 1:10am on 14/08/14 I was awoken by what sounded like an explosion! It all happened so quickly. There was a 'bang'. I sat up and covered my face with my arms as glass began to hit my face and body. I leapt up and saw a brick at my feet. My initial thought was that someone had thrown a brick through my window. I phoned the police explaining what had happened asking if they could send somebody quickly. I was absolutely terrified for myself, for my son and for my unborn child. All I could think was that somebody had attacked my house. I couldn't breathe, I was too scared to cry and my heart felt like it had leapt into my mouth. I stayed on the phone until the police arrived and was told there had been an accident. A wall had been hit. Initially I felt relieved as I was convinced that it was a personal attack. When I opened my living room door I realised the full extent of the devastation and just how lucky I had been. There was glass, debris and car parts everywhere! 2 of my windows had been completely smashed. Glass covered the furniture, floor and my sons toys and clothes. It was behind furniture, inside furniture, on top of my light fitting, inside lamps and shards were sticking out of the floor and chimney breast. There were bricks over the floor and on every chair except the sofa. There were even bricks behind the radiator. There were 2 car headlamps on the floor, a Peugeot Lion in my fireplace, car parts behind the TV and part of the grill on my sons lunch table. There were chunks out of my chimney breast, ceiling, floor and opposite wall where the debris had been thrown with such momentum. My blinds were ripped to shreds. Our TV and laptop were smashed and my sons toy boxes were full of debris. Complete devastation. Amazingly I came out with just some glass in my hair! The car had collided into my front wall and neighbours, catapulting bricks at least 20 feet across my room, with a brick missing my head by centimetres. The paramedics attended the scene and checked the rear passenger. I later phoned the paramedics myself and went to the antenatal assessment unit at the JPH. The police breathalysed the driver. He was not drunk. He was legal and apart from writing off his car he was sent on his way. There were no skid marks, the police did a test on the road and apparently no mobile phone was involved. The police took some photos and left. We lost everything except a clock, a plant and a couple of pictures. We had a company round who deal with fire and flood damage to clear the debris. This company deemed the contents of the room as beyond economical repair and everything was put in a skip including 73 toys and books belonging to my son. We are waiting for the windows to be replaced before works can begin on the interior walls, floors and ceiling and we have been unable to live in the house since. I have suffered flash backs and anxiety attacks since the incident, struggling to sleep, eat, work and look after my son. So has my husband. My son is upset as he wants to go home. We were the 3rd house in 6 weeks to be hit with the 2nd house being directly opposite and the 1st less than 200m away. We have discovered that its the 2nd time ours has been hit in 10 yrs. 2 doors away was hit 3 yrs ago. This was not a freak accident and does not make me confident that this could never happen again. We believe the island outside our house is part of the problem. It sits just after a bend in the road so unless vehicles are approaching it at the correct speed making sure the car is fully in the left hand lane, they are having to swerve to avoid it. There is another island a matter of feet away on a straight stretch so don't understand why we need two so close together? These islands make the road very narrow for the use of buses and lorries meaning at times they mount the kerb. Up to 40 tonne lorries use our road as a short cut even though less residential routes exist. Vehicles frequently break the speed limit of the road particularly during the evening when there is less traffic. Ironically we have been informed speed bumps would cause too much vibration even though our houses visibly shake when these lorries come past. We have been told speed cameras are too costly. Something has got to be done before a resident, pedestrian, driver or school child is seriously hurt or killed. We have the right to feel safe within our own homes and to protect our families. If measures aren't implemented I feel I have no other choice but to sell my home as the evidence suggests this will happen again and I no longer feel safe in my living room. We have had media coverage due to this incident and we will be seeking legal advice as well as support from our MP.

- Local people, across the country, are demonstrating that they are opposed to reorganisation plans - In many place there was totally inadequate consultation about plans for A&E closures and wider hospital reorganisations - Urgent Care Centres are an untried alternative to local A&Es - A&E services are under severe strain at present - further reducing these as we come into winter means lives will be put at risk - Reorganisations are driving an increasing privatisation of our NHS together with the Health and Social Care Act and growing threats from TTIP The petition is the initiative of Save Our Hospitals: Hammersmith and Charing Cross.

Recently, one local authority, Barnet Council, has consulted on requiring survivors of domestic violence to register as homeless before rehousing them. This will have the effect of removing their priority status on the housing waiting list, dropping from Band 1 down to Band 2 or 3. If these proposals are implemented, they will set a dangerous precedent for our society as well as the way we treat those who have survived domestic violence - who are often forced to choose between their safety and their own home. We should be looking to change the narrative about domestic violence - and that means recognising and taking steps to protect survivors' right to housing.

Children’s social and mental health services are failing to protect vulnerable children in the UK. It’s not just Rotherham though. The NSPCC estimates that for every child on a child protection plan, there are another eight who are being abused or neglected. 500 Children’s Centres have closed since 2010 and 73% of Social Workers say they can’t do their jobs properly. Two thirds of local authorities have cut their budgets for child and adolescent mental health and 88% of Social Workers say that budget cuts have left children at increased risk of abuse. Huge numbers of unfilled social worker posts (3800 in England alone) are leading to untold misery for tens of thousands of children. This is leaving children at risk and the workers who have to try and protect them, demoralised and struggling to cope. “Enough is Enough”, a recent report from the Centre for Social Justice, describes the current child protection and mental health system as “abhorrent” and that suffering children face “grotesque injustice.” Now an Independent Children’s Task Force, made up of child protection experts, has been formed by Kids Company’s SEE THE CHILD. CHANGE THE SYSTEM campaign. The task force will completely redesign child and adolescent social care and mental health services. We hope this petition will persuade all the political parties to support the Task Force's new delivery model - and to commit to piloting it in two Local Authorities so it can be put to the test. It’s true that children can’t vote and vulnerable children are completely invisible. It shouldn't be like this and with your help we need to stand up for them and show politicians that we care. No child or young person should be left to suffer alone. This is the nation’s best hope of ensuring that all abused children can get the help they need, when they need it. Please sign and share this petition now.

The BBC, apart from Chanel 4, is a Public Services Broadcasting Company, widely regarded as independent and trustworthy across the world. Unless it is prepared to use that trust, and the expectation of the license payer to examine seriously important issues like this, it will have betrayed it's Charter.

We are shocked and appalled at the scale of the problem of child sexual exploitation (CSE) in Rotherham. The report produced by Professor Alexis Jay following her Inquiry into CSE between 1997 and 2013 reveals that at least 1400 children suffered at the hands of abusers. The crimes included grooming, pimping, trafficking, torture, rape and murder. There has been an abject failure to safeguard vulnerable children in Rotherham and alarmingly South Yorkshire Police chose to criminalise the behaviour of vulnerable, working class victims of sexual abuse whilst letting the perpetrators off scott-free. We have no confidence in South Yorkshire Police or the Police and Crime Commissioner, who was the Cabinet member for Children's Services in Rotherham between 2005 and 2010.

The Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP) together with the British Acupuncture Federation (BAF) composed of 6 major UK Acupuncture organisations are extremely concerned that the present NICE discussions could result in the removal of both Acupuncture and Manual Therapies from the current NICE guidelines. For many years the Government and the NHS have supported the “choice of the public” to access acupuncture and manual therapy, available in both NHS Physiotherapy Departments and Pain Control centres, Primary and Secondary Care units throughout the UK. We ask NICE to protect the democratic right of “patient choice”, to maintain both NHS Acupuncture and Manual treatment of Low Back Pain within its recommendations and not to allow these to be changed because of a different composition of its panel; as no contrary evidence has been released. .......Sign the petition and help protect patient choice of treatments in the NHS…….

There are hundreds of thousands of British Ex-pats around the world that have worked all of their lives in the UK and then retired abroad. They have paid their taxes in the UK for all of their working lives, many still paying today and should not now be penalised if they choose to emigrate. I also believe that it is 'uneuropean' in as much as it impedes the freedom of movement within member states by the population of the UK by effectively taxing them to leave. This policy punishes mainly those ex-pats that have served their country in the armed forces, police, NHS, fire brigade and civil service and shows that the UK government has no loyalty to it's most deserving of citizens.
