Exaro News, The Daily Mirror and The Sunday People are exposing a massive establishment cover up of paedophiles in very prominent positions. Most recently, current and former police officers have talked of a number of operations into peadophile networks being shut down as they got to close to VIPs. By not covering these stories in its mainstream broadcasts, the BBC in its silence is part of the cover up. Only by getting this story out into the highest profile news broadcasts will there be enough momentum gathered to bring these VIPs to justice.

Swimming is an essential skill that can save lives, promote better health, and be an enjoyable hobby for all people, of any age, gender, or cultural background. For example, disabled people with limited land movement particularly find swimming an essential activity. If this pool closes, the sole remaining one is far too small to cope with everyone who would wish to use it, services would have to be limited there, to allow for lessons, clubs, and a reasonable amount of time still allocated to public use. Derby is a city of approx 250,000 people, one public swimming pool in town is not enough. There has been other options and suggestions made by local people, but they feel that their opinions are being ignored.

Llys Caradog & Blaenau disabled childrens respite centres provide a lifeline to the disabled children and their families across Carmarthenshire. Sadly once again they are threatened with closure due to Council cuts. For many families with disabled children this service provides the only much needed break for families providing round the clock care for their child's additional needs. This service provides social opportunities to children that may otherwise never have a "sleepover" or "tea at a friends house". For parents and siblings it provides the opportunity to rest and recharge ready to provide care again. Please, please help to save this lifeline.

The multinationals and the elites et al are determined that this deal be done in secret and away from the spotlight - and we all know why. Bringing things into the open and under the full glare of publicity makes them justify why it is such a good deal as they claim (we all know it isn't) and it is the one thing that will kill this thing for good. That is why doing something like this is the one thing they hate and fear more than anything else - and why it is the best tactic. a few hundred signatures to start should do it, then more if possible. PLEASE make this a major 38 degrees sponsored campaign - not just one from me - co-opt/steal this idea and use it! publicity like this will kill TTIP for good - ALL parts of it.

Ashcroft provides essential care services for women who experience mental health difficulties. It is an almost unique service, being one of only two women-only specialist mental health units in the country and is a hugely valuable resource. Norfolk should be proud of its assets, not trying to save a few pounds forcing Ashcroft to close its doors.

I work in a local authority and I am dismayed by the affect that Government grant cuts are having on jobs and services. Maybe at one point there was some spare flesh to cut from local government, but that time is long gone and we are now cutting deep into the bone. Local authorities provide vital services to the most vulnerable such as the elderly, people with physical and mental health problems and learning disabilities, the homeless and looked-after children. Huge cuts are being made to these services by the government at the same time as the need for these services is going through the roof – largely because of job losses and cuts to housing, disability and employment benefits. This means that the government is taxing the most needy and least able to pay in society TWICE. Firstly by cutting their benefits, and then again by cutting the money paid to local authorities to support them. Local authorities are also providers and protectors of the culture and heritage of all of our towns and cities. They look after libraries, museums, galleries, parks and local countryside. These areas are often the first to suffer because they are none-statutory services. How much poorer are the educational and cultural opportunities for local people because many councils have been forced to close libraries and museums because of cuts? People who have dedicated years to providing support and services to the people in their communities for very modest rates of pay are being forced out of worthwhile jobs while incompetent bankers carry on lining their own pockets. Making tens of thousands of local authority workers redundant only adds to the people unable to contribute to the economy or pay income tax, many may well go on to lose their home, adding to the housing benefit bill. At the end of the day, it is not public sector workers, or immigrants or people on benefits who have caused this financial crisis. Please, whatever your political persuasion, think long and hard about whether it is fair that jobs and services that are dedicated to serving and helping people in your community are losing nearly half their government grant, while the very banks and super-rich people who put us in this mess in the first place are getting off scot-free? This country has been built on the ideals of fairness, humanity and respect for the ordinary person. These cruel and unfair cuts attack that very foundation of our nationhood. The most vulnerable people are having their quality of life cut from just about liveable to unbearable; at the same time the number of billionaires in the world has doubled since the financial crisis started, and the 5 richest families in the UK own as much wealth as the bottom 20% of the population. Meanwhile it is estimated by the Institute of Fiscal Studies that another 300,000 children are soon to be added to the 2.5 million who are currently living in poverty in this country if the next round of cuts go ahead. Please sign this petition and lets show the government that we will no longer accept vital jobs and services being attacked to make up for the mistakes of the banks and super-rich.

This is important for both people with dementia and their carers'. There are no good Emi / nursing facilities with Ceredigion. This restricts respite care available to carers' and means people with Dementia are having to be placed miles away from family and friends at a time when they need them most. Often it means relatives can't visit as often or even at all. Dementia is a growing problem and the lack of good support for carers and quality care puts even more stress on all concerned. This illness robs people of so much, and affects so many. It's hard enough to be with a loved one and watch helpless as the illness progresses, without having to worry about how they can be cared for and where.

The St Agnes post office has recently closed, our bus service is being significantly reduced and now Barclays (the only bank and cash machine in the village) is closing. This is a vital resource for the community and its closing will have devastating social and economic impacts on the village. We have a large elderly population in the village, many of whom don’t use credit / visa cards. We are blessed to have some great independent shops in the village - a baker, news agent, small cafes, two green grocers and two butchers. Some of whom accept cards, some don't. With no cash machine in the village how will people use these great independent shops. Where will the young people get their bus fare each morning to get to college? Yes, there are shops that offers cash back, but you have to spend £ 5 to get cash back . It's hardly fair that you have to spend your money, to get your money. Like many Cornish villages, tourism is our biggest business now the tourists won’t be able to get any cash to spend when they are here. Great. Less services for residents and tourists - a social and economic disaster for us.

For the last 5 years, pathology services at Guy's and St Thomas and King's College Hospital's have been managed by Viapath, a for-profit company formed between SERCO and the two hospital Trusts. Since the takeover by Viapath, the service has been plagued by problems; chronic understaffing, inability to recruit and retain, reduced training, closure of vital services and massive financial losses. Now the remaining NHS staff in the service face being transferred out of the NHS on the 1st January 2015. We oppose the transfer of staff and believe that to guarantee a quality and safe service for patients, the staff should remain part of the NHS, and all pathology services should be brought back into the NHS. The alternative is a the running down of a vital service for patients, and the loss of highly skilled and experienced staff. SERCO is a company notorious for poor services, bad employment practices and is being investigated for defrauding the government on other outsourcing contracts. Their involvement in the NHS can only jeopardise patient safety and damage the hospital’s reputation.

The Disabled Student’s Allowance (DSA) is a fund that covers the additional costs of attending university with a disability. It has enabled many thousands of students in the U.K to access higher education where this otherwise would not have been a possibility. A key part of the allowance goes to providing the assistance of support workers. Support workers see students regularly, depending on the student's needs, and are one of the most important aspects of support for students with disabilities at university. The government are proposing a cut to DSA that would remove the funding for a support worker (for full details of what aspects of DSA are being cut and which are remaining in place please see the link below(2)). According to a 2014 study by Randstad: “More than one in three students with a disability (34%) say they would definitely not have attended university without DSA support, while a further 36% are unsure if they would have originally attended. Less than one in three students with a disability (30%) would still definitely have decided to go to university without the support of the DSA.(1)” I am a support worker myself, and two of the students I support have said that they would not have made it through the first year of University without the support they received. I have seen first-hand what a difference the presence of support workers make to students’ experiences of university. It is in the Government’s interests, also, for the funding for support workers to be in place. In the long term, there is much more money to be saved by enabling a large proportion of people with disabilities to enter into work, and hence less reliant on the welfare system, by providing access to higher education. Disabled students who are granted DSA, assigning them support workers, are much more likely to complete their course and get a higher grade(1). The government are defending their decision to make cuts to DSA based on the fact that Higher Education Institutions would be obliged to fund support workers. Although, in theory, this is a legal requirement on the part of Higher Academic Institutions, this would create a market where admitting students with a disability would cost the university a great deal more than non-disabled students, and would result in some universities not providing the necessary quality or quantity of support. For more information on this issue please visit (1) http://www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/2014/november/fight-dsa-cut and for the original statement from David Willetts see (2) https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/higher-education-student-support-changes-to-disabled-students-allowances-dsa. If you agree that a cut to DSA funding of support workers is unacceptable, please sign this petition. I will be writing to the three Brighton MPs for delivery on the 20th November, asking them to please vote against this decision, so the matter can come up for debate, and hope to have a wealth of signatures to back my request. Many Thanks, Priya.
