If you cannot pass the tests in your third attempt, like me, then this holds you back from becoming an outstanding teacher. 2 years is a lot of time and it holds students back from wanting to teach because if you cannot pass after 2 years then you have to wait for another 2 years. I would like unlimited chances to pass Literacy and numeracy skills test to be put back to action because the government is loosing so many highly skilled student teachers as they are unable to pass their qts tests. I am sure most PGCE students would agree with this.

This is important because the noticeable increase in fly tipping is hazardous and reflects poorly on the area.

We must try and preserve Canterbury's historic buildings and not destroy them! This modern structure will look put of place and blight the local landscape. Too much new student accomodation in the City!

The minority of drivers that disregard public safety and consume alcohol when they are in charge of a heavy goods vehicle is shameful and the practice should be banned and the Services and truck stops that sell alcohol to these drivers should also be stopped

Recent background: 1. In August ’16 Government gave a policy statement in relation to the Sugary Drinks Industry Levy that Key component of Childhood Obesity Strategy is to promote diet drinks. It was no.1 in a list of ‘12 Things You Should Know’, published on the government’s news website. The ‘reformulation’ of products, which currently amounts to replacing sugar with artificial sweeteners, was to be extended to other products deemed too high in sugar, regular yoghurts are among the cited foods. Questions challenging the policy were blocked at the Health Matters Live event in November ’16. Citations of studies and reviews that concluded not enough was known about the safety of sweeteners, were removed from a Wikipedia site on Sugar Taxes. The effect of the strategy has been an escalation in the use of sweeteners by manufacturers, and it is not immediately clear, when choosing items from the shelves in supermarkets, that sweeteners are being used where once they were not. Products may not be described as ‘diet’ or ‘with sweeteners’, other than in smaller print on the ingredients label. (Neotame and advantame may legitimately be used without any mention on the ingredients label.) 2. In January ’17 a Government Health Report announced that for success there needed to be zero price promotions on ‘unhealthy’ products. To use the same example, regular yoghurts are classed as ‘unhealthy’, artificially sweetened ones as the ‘healthy’ option. The effect of this move is to limit the affordable choices for poorer families wanting to give their children a healthy balanced diet with less emphasis on sweet things, but with no artificial sweeteners. All have the right to make informed healthy choices. The right to an informed choice is being eroded.

It is unfair that travel companies are able to penalise parent of school age children by hiking the prices during the school holiday period. It is unacceptable to take children out of school and now we are threatened with court action. Our government need to be tightly governing these companies and stop letting them raise the prices so high, therefore affording more parents a chance to take their families away during peak times.

So we can see how fast things change for the working class

The vast majority (84%) of people do not want fracking to happen. In June 2016 Lancashire County Council voted not to give planning permission to Cuadrilla after listening to local people's concerns about the effects of fracking on the water, air and soil. However, Cuadrilla appealed to the Secretary of State, who then overruled Lancashire. Work commenced at the fracking site on Preston New Road in January 2017. A E Yates have played a major role in supplying Caudrilla with workers, materials, plant and haulage. Without Yate's services, Cuadrilla will not be able to proceed so rapidly with fracking Lancashire

Money Held and not used for the purpose it was Donated is Theft

Articles by Trevor Kavanagh in The Sun about "The Muslim Problem" have serious fascist overtones. Someone with such extremist views has no place in a press standards organisation.

President Trump made comments saying there are 'good people' on the side of the white supremacists in Charlottesville, effectively condoning racism, prejudice, violence, hatred and the neo-Nazis. This is immoral, unjust, dangerous, and wrong, and echoes sentiments last expressed by a major world leader in the 1930's - and they must be condemned. He must take responsibility for his comments, and we must petition our world leaders to hold him to account.
