Stop the Home Office refusing holiday visas for family visits to the UK without good reason.In my wife's case: My wife’s elderly retired parents have been refused entry to the United Kingdom for a family holiday. My wife, is from the Philippines she has a British Passport and has been resident in the UK for a period approaching 10 years, we have been married for the same period. We have paid the application process fees to the Home Office fees amounting to hundreds of pounds, this fee is non-returnable. We have more than sufficient funds in the bank, we are financing the return airfare together with all other expenses, the Home Office have my bank statements, my bank account has never been over-drawn in the past 50 years. I am a retired licensed debt counsellor and finance broker; my credit rating is irrefutably shown as being at the highest possible level. Amongst other shameful, fatuous and humiliating reasons for entry refusal is: 1. They are not satisfied with my wife’s immigration status although she has a British Passport! 2. They are not satisfied that we will not resort to the use of public funds. 3. My wife’s father is unemployed, yes of course he is, he’s retired. 4. Quote from the refusal: I am not satisfied you have shown that your ties to Philippines (or elsewhere) are sufficient incentive to leave the UK at the end of your proposed visit. On balance of probabilities, I am therefore not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor or will to leave the UK after a limited period. Your application for a visit visa is refused under paragraph V4.2. Why would they want to live here, the Home Office acknowledge they live in a mortgage free house in the Philippines which we purchased for them to live in. 5. Mine and my wife’s bank balance fluctuates, why would they not? We run a business, of course it fluctuates, but it's always thousands of pounds in credit, they know that, because they have originals of bank statements and savings accounts. Isn’t about time the Home Office stopped issuing blanket holiday visa refusals in respect of British citizens married to wives with British passports without good reason and then compounding the humiliation by expecting us to pay more fees to appeal their absurdly unsound and injudicious decisions.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Geoff Day

Refugee children deserve our helpUnaccompanied refugee children in Europe are alone and afraid. They are cold and hungry and at the mercy of traffickers. They were offered the hope of a refuge in Britain but Amber Rudd in the government has decided to put an end to the prospect of their finding a safe home in Britain even though the Dubs agreement specified that 3000 children would be helped. So far only 300 children have been accepted. This is a cruel blow to the hopes of the rest of these children which has been condemned by MPs from all parties and by Religious leaders of all faiths. We beseech Amber Rudd to show British values of fairness, decency and tolerance and allow a safe passage to Britain for all these very vulnerable children.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Pat Atkinson

Accept the number of child refugees agreed under the Dubs amendmentThe Government agreed to make an amendment to the number of child refugees who would be admitted to the UK in line with what is now referred to as the Dubs amendment.Only 350 out of 3000 children have so far been admitted and it would appear that the Home Secretary has been delaying this process. Children are hungry, cold, vulnerable and at risk to abuse and exploitation in camps which are unfit for habitation: we have agreed to accept them and many churches and charities have confirmed their willingness to support this process.37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Norma Hornby

Ask to Government to stick to their commitment of helping 3,000 unaccompanied child refugeesThere is an estimated 90,000 unaccompanied children and teenagers across Europe Help Refugees, one of the British charities working in France, had already launched legal action against the government's handling of Dubs. Its judicial review, which will be heard on Friday, argues that ministers failed to consult local authorities properly about how many unaccompanied children could be housed.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Jones

Theresa May to nominate Angela Merkel for the Nobel Peace PrizeAngela Merkel has demonstrated global leadership in her response to the refugee crisis.

Do Not Overhaul the 'WikiLeaks Act'Extract from 'The Goldwater': "The current laws are being overhauled by the British Government as it seeks to ban journalistic freedom. This will be the first official reworking of the Official Secrets Act in 100 years. The new law will mean that whistleblowers who leak information will face a massive 14-year prison sentence."7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ismail Mir
