• Stop Syrian Bombings
    Air strikes are indiscriminate and deadly. They kill and maim en mass and are based on so called 'intelligence'. The current viral circulation of little Omran Daqneesh dusty and bloodied in an ambulance has once again gripped the world. But what of little Aylan in Sept. 2015? He drowned trying to escape the horrendous conflict in Syria that have killed well in excess of 300,000 people and displaced millions more. What of the M10 hospital bombing in early August? These viral stories are swiftly forgotten by our media but must not be allowed. Please sign and force this issue to be discussed once more in parliament.

  • Give Tariq Jahan the honour he deserves
    During a time of rapidly increasing tension and violence in North Birmingham in 2011 Tariq agreed to speak to the crowds despite having very recently lost his son in the violence: "Basically I lost my son," he told the crowd. "Blacks, Asians, whites - we all live in the same community. Why do we have to kill one another? "What started these riots? And what's escalated? Why are we doing this? I lost my son. Step forward if you want to lose your sons. "Otherwise calm down and go home."

  • Force the UK government into doing more for Refugees
    Imagine the nuclear bombs in our country went off, leaving our nation a wasteland and we had to flee to mainland Europe or Africa, should they turn us away because we're refugees? Because we're of another faith or skin colour? Would other nations letting us die be okay? Chances are you said, no, so how is it okay for us to let thousands of people die every day trying to escape war. War that we created. They're trying to escape the IS, they're trying to escape the bombs that France, America and We drop on them. We need to do more. These are human beings and we are letting them die.

  • Hold Tony Blair to account for misleading statements prior to the Iraq War
    Voters in the UK need to be reassured that Parliament is provided with the full facts before agreeing to send UK armed forces into combat. Parliament should act now to hold Tony Blair to account for his misleading statements in the lead up to the war in Iraq in order to protect its integrity.

  • Delay the vote on Trident for three months
    With the instability in both the labour and Tory parties, the upheaval following the Brexit campaign, a new Prime Minister and a newly entrenched Labour leader. The political situation in Britain is far too fluid for an important decision like this to be made right now. With so little notice there is no chance for an informed debate on such an important subject.

  • Defer the debate on Trident
    MOD costings for renewal of Trident are still based on 2007 estimates, and are said to be between £15 and £20 billion. We are now entering a period of at least two years when the value of the pound and our country's credit rating will be at best uncertain, and possibly lead to recession. Whatever happens once we have left the EU, for the next two years there will be less money to spend on the NHS, schools, care for the elderly and disadvantaged, not more, and it makes no sense to committ such a proportion of our dwindling resources to this project. Let us at least wait until we have more idea of what our relations with the EU and the rest of the world will look like, and how our economy is faring, before the debate is held.

  • Try Tony Blair for the Iraq war
    Iraq is now a failed state and home to terrorist groups such as Islamic State. There is great intolerance between shi'ite and sunni communities which did not exist before the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Many British and American servicemen lost their lives and millions of civilians have been killed,displaced or orphaned.

  • Make war a referendum decision
    There are three main reasons for this call and they are as follows: 1. Democracy is what we are proud of in our country and more if it will always be celebrated. 2. The people of the country will be responsible for this major decision giving them more direct power over international interests. 3. War is a final decision for any country to make and that should therefore be made the aforementioned country.

  • Call for a three option referendum in the Brexit leave deal. Accept/decline/stay
    This is important as many voters feel mislead after the referendum. This will give the whole of the UK time to understand what is really on offer at the end of negotiations. Will immigration be reduced, how much money will we really have available after withdrawal. This will ensure Brexit negotiations will focus on what has been promised, and show the voters what is on offer.

  • Give Pro-EU Brits & EU nationals asylum status to live in Independent Scotland
    For too long, we have been a passively friendly society, saying to our UK friends: as long as the UK stays in the EU, we won't leave you. It's often meant we have stood neutral between different values. And that's helped foster a narrative of right-wing extremism and grievance. This Petition will conclusively turn the page on this failed approach. It appears that our friends are in dire need of our help and as a friendly, cultural nation that benefits from all sorts of nationalities from across the world. We need to send a message that we will not allow those unwillingly forced into making their lives more miserable then it already is for them. We hope that the likes of David Cameran understands that this referendum has already caused instability across not only the entire UK but Europe as well. Thanks to this Referendum and the result. It has screwed over many people in not only Scotland but those living in the UK which is all thanks to far-right british nationalism and the propaganda that came with it. We believe a message needs to be sent for those who need help and not let them dead on track to major politcal clashes that will cause bubbles to burst. This pig beared referendum has cause enough damage and we would like to see our future not as a hateful and spiteful independent Scotland but a country that cares about the future of generations to come for all those who live here, including the Welsh. Thank you. - Extremezero the friendly Scottish misanthrope. P.S. There is a hidden message in the description for those who want to cheer up.

  • Stop Scottish Councils Investing In The Arms Trade
    Weapons kill people. The companies that manufacture weapons profit from selling them to states which kill people. A more peaceful world means less weapons are required which, in turn, would hurt the profits of arms manufacturers and the dividends of public money investments. We should not be relying on dividends to help fund our local authorities when those dividends only increase as more weapons are sold. This is morally wrong!
