There is an epidemic of homelessness in the United Kingdom. It is illegal under The Equality Act 2010. for a business to discriminate against individuals based on their sex, sexual orientation, physical/mental disability or race, and YET... Homeless individuals are more likely to be: - Male - Suffering from mental illness - Suffering from physical disability - From the LGBT community - From black and minority ethnic backgrounds By refusing DSS (housing benefit) as a method of paying rent, letting agents and buy-to-let landlords are indirectly discriminating against sections of society which would be protected under law, because they are homeless.

Britain has paid a part in destabilizing all of these areas. We have a moral imperative to take in refugees from conflict in these regions, albeit at a cost to ourselves and at the Conservative Party's cost to their political popularity. Refusing sanctuary to these asylum seekers enables and legitimizes human trafficking. Britain's current stance of taking so few refugees is a shameful disgrace. Children continue to suffocate and drown while Britain complacently and self-centredly looks the other way.

The people fleeing Syria need shelter and refuge. The victims in Syria are dying from war, not starvation. This is not a migration issue. It is a humanitarian issue and with 6.5 million Syrian's displaced, asylum is the key.

Adults and children are dying trying to escape from conflict in their own country. They need a safe haven,in UK, until it is safe to return. UK should cooperate with other EU countries to facilitate their escape, thereby reducing their reliance on criminal traffickers, and then provide temporary accommodation and resources until it is safe for them to return to Syria. NOW is not the time for focus on catching traffickers, nor for political issues, such as limiting immigration into UK

anybody who thinks it is perfectly acceptable to have his moat cleaned and paid for by the public should not be allowed to be in any position of authority whatsoever, it shows a total lack of moral responsibilty.

The House of Commons is meant to be made up of representatives, representing people in a given area and therefore a local form of voting seems most appropriate, however the job of the lords is to scrutinise bills as agents of the whole country. It doesn't take a genius to realise that the current makeup of the House of Lords is a poor representation of the British public and currently completely undemocratic. For a group representing the populous as a whole then a PR voting system would make the most sense, creating a house of the political median of the UKs populous. I believe this system could help us solve the problem of the current bloated House of Lords, maintain our local democracy and improve our national democracy. Finally there is an opportunity for the smaller parties to have a national voice without losing the local representation.

The appointment of Douglas Hogg to the House of Lords is a disgrace. Let's not forget this is the man who claimed for having his moat cleaned and his piano tuned when the expenses scandal kicked off. This is your chance to do the right thing and get the establishment to realise that enough is enough!

The protection of UK citizens visiting the USA.

FGM is a means of maintaining the inequality of the sexes/genders. It is an horrific practice and injurious to a woman in the process of giving birth.

To protect sordid and unnecessary harm, suffering and the ultimate extinction of wild animals. In the 21st century there is no excuse or valid sensible or justifiable reason to hunt wild animals to obtain their skins, heads or horns.

The undermining of access to justice is gaining pace under the Conservative government and that denies UK citizens their rights to seek a legally binding outcome to their issues. It is also a serious attack on the democratic process. The discussions thus far have highlighted travel times to other courts as not being unduly difficult. However, this focusses on car users. For those that need to attend court by use of public transport this can become a major impediment to their access to justice. It indeed appears to be a deliberate action to deny justice to vast swathes of the population

The rising death toll due to the unscrupulous methods used by traffickers and the daily scenes of unacceptable border treatment of vulnerable migrants.
