Fraud only accounts for 0.7% of benefits claims, ( whilst society believes it to be closer to 30% ) The excellent film, I, Daniel Blake, accounts accurately people's experience of this system of conscious cruelty, further it perpuates the myth that those in receipt of social security claims are ( almost by default) potentially thieves. Compliance officers from the dwp make their living from such hotline calls, but the majority of investigations are found to be due to malicious calls from neighbours. The cost of running this hotline is far more substantial than the small minority caught. ( only £50 per person ) The government could then put this money into areas of social security or care where it's needed. The entire process is distressing and costly to the uk tax payer. Please stop this and help to end the myth of ' benefit fraud ' . This hotline is also free to call, unlike the 55p charge per minute it costs on a mobile to make a claim. It’s proof of the way this government unfairly targets and seeks to stigmatise the sick and vulnerable.

All British politicians and all Members of Parliament need to experience the poor care and clinical negligence that the British public face when using the NHS - otherwise the service received on the NHS will never improve. It must be acknowledged that there are some fabulous NHS staff caring for people as we speak and that they give their very best despite being understaffed and overworked. This petition is not about them, this petition is regarding the type of NHS staff detailed below. Having read and heard endless horror stories of clinical negligence by NHS healthcare providers in the news and in health forums, I was naive to think these things wouldn't happen to me. This year I have had a serious illness that was repeatedly misdiagnosed as trivial illnesses by numerous GPs, despite being in extremely severe pain for a week and a half. Whilst in agonising pain, I was asked to wait for a letter to tell me when I can have tests done. I was finally admitted to hospital for a week after demanding that tests be done in A&E immediately. People who can't afford private healthcare should not have to die like Phillipa Odlin due to being dismissed at A&E by judgemental staff saying she had a hangover when, in fact, she had fatal diabetic complications. Read the story below: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/oct/29/diabetic-fatal-condition-mistaken-for-hangover-ombudsman-100-cases-blunders-hospitals NHS mental health teams are another issue. Only 15 per cent of people in the UK who require psychiatric treatment on the NHS actually receive it. Charlie Marks lost his life because he had to rely on the NHS to treat him for his mental health problems and wasn't taken seriously. Read the story below: http://www.bridgwatermercury.co.uk/news/14809019.Family_pleads_for_NHS_change_after_inquest_into_teenager_s_suicide/ Why should only people who can afford private healthcare, such as British politicians and Members of Parliament, be entitled to adequate healthcare? Being treated for conditions that could be life-threatening as well as trivial conditions should be a right, not a luxury reserved just for the rich. Positive changes to the NHS will only be made when all British politicians and all Members of Parliament (as well as their families and relatives) have to rely on the NHS for all of their healthcare needs. This will equate to equal human rights for all in the United Kingdom.

Robert Courts was elected to represent the people of West Oxfordshire. This petition is basically asking him to do just that and to stand with us in our decision.

The Human Rights Act protects every one of us: young and old; wealthy and poor; you and your neighbour.The Human Rights Act includes the rights to life, liberty and security, a fair trial, respect for private life, and freedom of expression.Torture, slavery and discrimination are all banned as well.To take it away is simply inhumane.How can we let them do this to us? We would be losing rights such as :Right to life Freedom from torture and inhuman or degrading treatment Right to liberty and security Freedom from slavery and forced labour Right to a fair trial No punishment without law Respect for your private and family life, home and correspondence Freedom of thought, belief and religion Freedom of expression Freedom of assembly and association Right to marry and start a family Protection from discrimination in respect of these rights and freedoms Right to peaceful enjoyment of your property Right to education Right to participate in free elections So please help us save the Human Rights Act

Because although the promotion of race hate is a serious criminal offence, it is an almost daily occurrence in the pages of the Daily Mail - yet no action is taken against the newspaper or its editor. Today's front page is a particularly egregious example

It is important that justice is done. Just as in the Hillsborough Enquiry

The miners and their relatives have never had a full and fair explanation as to what went so wrong with the policing, and subsequently, on the day and the days after the events at the plant.

There is a lack of faith in the South Yorkshire Police but there also seems to be a cover up with cabinet papers not being released. The bitterness of this dispute still hangs over the communities involved

Its important that the Miners at the time , can have all Questions or concerns dealt with, and answers are given.

Politics and religion are not compatible in the running of a country where practicality and pragmatism are much in need. Religious belief is an irrational but purely personnal matter and not one to excuse the brutal supression of people who may hold an alternative view. This sort of behaviour is nothing but a return to the days of the 'Inquisition' and has no place in the 21st century.

DEMOCRACY - Chesterfield is a key Derbyshire town& gateway to the Derbyshire Peak District. Has strong connections to neighbours NE Derbyshire and Bolsover District Councils and of course Derbyshire County Council and key player in the East Midlands. However the Leader of the CBC has promoted the town linking with Sheffiels and South Yorkshire in a major shift of allegiances in services and investment. This has/is being pushed through without full Community Engagement and the Labour controlled Council voted in favour with out Labour Councillors having a free vote. This has been a total misrepresentation of the will of the people and Parliament must step in and stop this happening. I ask all both local residents and people from the wider UK to show that Council Leaders can't just push this through without a local peoples referendum.

Immigration increases the UK's wealth. Immigrants (especially from the EU) don't sponge off the UK state benefits. Employment rates for immigrants are higher than for UK nationals. They come here to work and as a result are net contributors as tax payers. BUT - they don't take jobs from UK nationals. Employment among UK nationals is rising not falling. Nor do immigrants push down wages, as is claimed. The University of London has found no link between the number of immigrants coming into an area and whether average wages rise or fall in those areas. This is still true when looking at low-skill jobs only. It made no difference to the wages in low-skilled jobs whether there was high or low immigration into an area. Other research has found that the falls in the real value of wages experienced across many industry sectors are in fact largely due to the general economic and financial conditions and not to immigration. In fact immigrants are so good for the UK that they can make the difference between the country being able to manage the national debt and failing to do so in the long term. Over the next 50 years, our national debt, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility is expected to rise from the current 80% of Gross Domestic Product to just under 90% of GDP. If we limit immigration it ends up nearer 110% of GDP. If we encourage immigration it falls to 70% of GDP. So, if immigration is good for the country, we should encourage it not continue to spread myths about it that pander to prejudices.
