• Demand New Forest MP to use e-mail
    Dr Lewis is the ONLY MP in the house of commons who is only accessible through snail mail, the internet revolution of the last century hasn't made it to his office yet. There is a whole generation of voters who might never have written a letter. By not allowing people to contact him by e mail he is denying the electorate access and a voice to their local MP. Having spent over 10 years working in development in rural Afghanistan I have returned to the UK to discover my local MP is less contactable than an Afghan MP. We should have held some cash back from our 'Afghan democratisation endeavour' to help our local MP get on the web! As the government website itself says "email is a very convenient way for people to communicate" and encourages people to e mail their MP. In the New Forest we are unable to do this. E mail enables fast, immediate conversations with those who should be wanting to hear our voice, not silence it. I am not the first to notice the luddite in our midst http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3471687/Julian-Lewis-MP-REFUSES-communicate-constituents-online-regards-emails-insecure-prefers-communicate-letter-fax.html Please sign

  • Call for government intervention in the running of Argyll and Bute Council
    Argyll and Bute council over the past few years have consistently acted against the wishes of the communities they were meant to serve. We now find that they have promoted Mr. Cleland Sneddon to the most senior council officer post of Chief Executive Mr. Sneddon in one of his first acts when arriving at Argyll and Bute Council was to try and close 26 rural schools which would have destroyed the fragile communities that they represented. Our elected officials supported him in his actions and it was only the concerted efforts of the communities concerned that stopped the process in its tracks, by showing just how wrong he and the council were in their calculation of the costs and effect of the closures. Mr. Sneddon chooses not to live within Argyll and Bute, but to commute from his home within the central belt. He has worked with the elected officials to oppose community projects such as Castle Toward, and as a result has assisted in the decline of the population of the region. This petition calls for Argyll and Bute council to reverse the decision to promote Mr. Sneddon to the position of Chief Executive. It also calls for the Scottish Government to intervene in the running of Argyll and Bute council. To examine the impact of the current management of the council on the population of the area, and to consider all options in improving the lot of the population of Argyll and Bute. We the undersigned have no confidence in Argyll and Bute Council having the skills and ability to manage the region, and call for government intervention and assistance in providing a council fit for purpose for its long suffering communities.

  • UK Election Fraud - The Conservative Party 2015
    First, there was the evidence that the Conservative party broke the law in three key by-elections. Now, the party faces allegations that dozens of its MPs broke the law to win their seats in the 2015 general election itself. The party, already under investigation over its campaign spending, now faces calls for an investigation into possible criminal conspiracy. But will it be held to account? The Director of Public Prosecutions says they do not have the power to investigate but they may ask the police. If there is enough pressure placed upon them, perhaps they will and regardless to your political persuasion, surely it is the right of the British population to have a fair democracy?

  • Ban non tax paying corporations and individuals from sponsoring political parties.
    The resistance of certain politicians to force corporate sponsors to pay their fair share of taxes, in return for large amounts of money and manipulation of information, must be stopped. It is corrupt and means our country is being taken over by rich crooks who respect no laws other than their own. Google, Amazon, Macdonalds, Rupert Murdoch and the like are just a small example of these sponsors.

  • Call for a Commons "Vote of no confidence" in the current Government
    The Cabinet Office has responded to a petition on the parliament.uk website: Call a General Election in 2016. The wording of the response makes it clear that although over 100,000 signatures have been reached, the petition is unlikely to be debated: "The accusations made about the Government and Prime Minister in this petition are wrong, and the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act means no Government can call an early general election any more anyway. The Government and Prime Minister have never sought to mislead the public. Nonetheless, the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act, which came into force in 2011 under the Coalition Government, removed the power to set the general election date, and therefore to call an early general election, from the Government and gave a power to the House of Commons to call an early general election in certain circumstances. An early general election can only be called under the Act if either a motion (as worded in section 2(2) of the Act) that there shall be an early parliamentary general election is passed by the House of Commons with at least two thirds in favour of the motion; or if a motion of no confidence (as worded in section 2(4) of the Act) is passed by the House of Commons and the House does not pass a motion of confidence (as worded in section 2(5) of the Act) in the Government or an alternative Government within 14 days. Aside from these triggers there is no way to replace the Government through an early General Election. Cabinet Office" Justifications for a vote of no confidence involve, but are not limited to: the victimisation of the disabled and working class, the erosion of public services, a blatant disregard for the value of our NHS workers, and the hypocrisy of a Government which moralises on tax evasion but fails to bring neither its own members nor its friends in big business to account, and a failing economy which is focused on financial irregularity and the dismantling of British industry. The British people do not deserve another 4 years of a Government which gained its mandate on a low percentage vote and promises which have now been broken. We urge you to be the catalyst for action and to press for a "No Confidence" vote in Parliament amongst your peers both within and without the party.

  • Joint Enterprise: Judges Got It Wrong - Help Us Fight For Justice
    JENGbA (Joint Enterprise Not Guilty by Association) is a grass roots campaign who were instrumental in helping The Supreme Court reach this land mark decision. This was a legal victory and a vindication for all those who have campaigned tirelessly against this error, of which we have felt so much pain but now feel so much hope. With this in mind we the undersigned now feel that the issue merits the full attention and the support of Parliament and request a full public inquiry that can review cases swiftly and rectify the mistakes. Without this 'Hillsborough' type inquiry then a thirty two year mistake that has led to the continued incarceration of men, women and children will continue to be a stain on the British justice system. Please sign and help us fight for an inquiry into all of the cases, so the truly guilty can be captured and the innocent will walk free.

  • Panama Papers: Prosecute Tax Evasion
    The "Panama Papers", a massive leak of over 11 million documents from the Mossack Fonseca Company, has revealed a wealth of corruption that covers 4 decades, and may represent millions, if not billions, of Pounds Sterling in lost taxes. Think of all the things these lost taxes could do in balancing the budget, in strengthening public services. This is why any and all wrongdoing relating to the UK must be investigated, prosecuted, and punished.

  • Help the Brain Family with their fight to stay in the UK
    The Brain family having invested their life savings to make a life in Scotland, have been informed by the UK government that they have to return to Australia. The Home Office have given them 28 days as of Friday 18/3/16 to leave the UK, or face deportation and bans on re-entry. This, and the plights of many other families placed in the same deplorable situation, demonstrates very serious shortcomings in UK immigration policy, that people who are here and are making a contribution to our economy, and who want to stay and live here, are being forced out. Over the years, successive governments have implemented a range of measures to repopulate the Highlands and, thankfully these are slowly bearing fruit. Gregg, Kathryn and their 7 year old son Lachlan Brain have done nothing but contribute positively both personally and financially to the UK. They paid over £35,000 for Kathryn's degree, and have paid over £40,000 in taxes during their time here. Both were employed in jobs that took some months to fill before they were employed. They have kept their end of the bargain. Now, without right to appeal, their passports have been confiscated, their right to work abolished, and the Home Office have threatened to freeze their bank accounts and cancel their driving licenses. They do not deserve to be treated like criminals. All they want is for the Home Office to deliver what was promised when they sold everything they owned in Australia to come to the UK - a two year post-study work visa, giving them the opportunity to establish a working relationship with an employer, and a chance at a longer-term visa. Living up to what was promised is not too much to ask.
