• Promotion of peace in Syria
    We all hear many times about the necessity of war to bring peace in Syria; in fact nobody is speaking about the necessity of saving thousands of families from the breakout. The will of people is now very straightforward: it's time to stop destroying the life of innocent ones. We all agree to not be involved in any decisions of war. We all want you to finally speak for real peace. We know well that, during the wars in Iraq and Libya, western powers did not bring peace but instability, actually encouraging the rise of extremisms. They also led to massive immigration's flows towards the "doors" of Europe, such as Sicily, where the G7 will take place. Now it's our will to stop any military action in Syria and to be represented by you: please start promoting peace, be our voice during the imminent G7 and any other international meeting. We know how it is to live normal lives as normal people, then we think the safety of normal people and families in Syria should be a priority. Help us to bring them the only thing they really need: the cessation of further bombardments.

  • Was the Gas sold to Assad by UK used in recent Nerve gas attack?
    We need to know so we can stop so called peacemakers selling chemical weapons to Dictators who are killing innocent People. According to the BBC in 2014 "Britain sold chemicals and components to Syria that ended up being used in the manufacture of the deadly nerve agent sarin. A leaked Foreign Office document says they were supplied in the mid-1980s.Foreign Secretary William Hague said UK firms provided the materials and that Syria has admitted they played a role in its chemical weapons programme." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28212724

  • By-election for all swapping councillors
    Often especially in local elections people vote for the party not the individual. However too often councillors switch parties or lose the whip. This can change the balance of power on a council and often is against the wishes of the people who voted for them. We need to ensure the integrity of local councils and force a by-election for all switches of alliance.

  • Protect the Abbey Wood Crown Post Office
    By removing Abbey Wood's Crown Post Office you are causing the loss of good jobs and services which will hurt the local economy, as well as the rapidly growing numbers of people living in the area especially vulnerable groups - such as pensioners and the disabled. Many services - banking, passport and identity services- can only be provided at Crown (not franchised) Post Offices, and since the nearest, by public transportation, is at Dartford the loss of Abbey Wood Post office would place an unacceptable barrier to many people accessing these services.

  • Against DMBC approving the Sustainability and Transformation Plans
    The STPs will result in a reduction of £139.5 million by 2020, in the Doncaster and Bassetlaw Health and Social Care budget. We believe, that this reduction to our NHS funding will lead to, a loss of services, hospital closures and to an increase in early death rates in our area. It is beyond doubt that the STPs, being driven by the Government, will speed up the privatisation of more NHS services. Last January Doncaster Council said that no decision on the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw STP would be made until the 'conversation' (not consultation) by Healthwatch Doncaster and the Due Regard statement was completed. In two to four years an unelected and/or unaccountable Central STP board (based in Sheffield) will be able to ensure that your Doncaster Royal Infirmary will be privatised. The mechanism is most likely to be an Accountable Care Organisation (ACO). These ACOs will integrate services into one decision making body and have one structure with one budget, which could be and will be easily hijacked by a venture company or a private health care company such as Virgin Care et al. Please sign this petition and help to protect our NHS funding and services and stop further privatisation.

  • No hate in politics
    We have seen a rise in hate crimes in the last 18 months. Hate crimes including homophobia, racism, Islamophobia, sexism and antisemitism. The way politicians talk about "others" is disgusting. Asylum seekers are not our enemy. Moslems are not our enemy. Jews are not our enemy. Women are not our enemy. Gays are not our enemy. Trans are not our enemy. Benefit recipients are not our enemy.

  • Stop selling British Citizenship!
    We saw the governments refusal to budge on the earning threshold for British Citizens bringing a non-UK/EU partner to live with them. Now, even if someone can afford to bring their partner to live with them, they may never be able to afford to become a British Citizen, meaning they will live with a constant threat of having to leave because of expired visas. The government has now approved its decision to increase the cost of settlement by up to 22.5%. This could increase a single applicant's costs to over £2000. More when you have a family. The government need to stop "selling" citizenship. They need to stop penalising people just because they want to become citizens of this great nation. Surely people's commitment and desire to be a functioning member of society should be of higher importance than the size of your wallet. I have heard first hand, story after story of British Citizens leaving the UK because they cannot afford to bring their partner to live with them. Families get torn apart because it is unaffordable. In addition, there are people who have committed 5 to 10 years to living and working in the UK to building a life here with the hope of become a British Citizen. Not because they want benefits (on the contrary, these are people who have not been allowed access to public funds), in fact, these are people who have only paid in to the system. They want to make a formal commitment to a place they have come to call home. But the government want to charge them extortionate fees to do this. It is time for the government's targeting of hard working people to meet their outrageous and unattainable migration targets to end! Stop penalising or not penalising people based on where in the world they come from. Stop selling British Citizenship to the highest earners! Work for the good of families and people who love this country and focus your efforts against the abusers of the system.

  • Shepperton Health Centre Service Charge increases
    The practice is essential to the community and over inflating running costs without justification is detrimental to the people that it serves.

  • No More Homeless Deaths!
    It is abhorrent that in a country as wealthy as ours, a man has been allowed to die on the streets of Glasgow because he had nowhere to go. Glasgow City Council website states that: “As a minimum, the council will arrange for you to receive: Advice and Information Temporary Accommodation” We demand that Glasgow City Council acts immediately to fulfil it's duty to the people of Glasgow. Everyone who presents themselves at a Council facility as homeless, should immediately be provided with somewhere safe and warm to stay, until such times as they are able to find permanent accommodation. Furthermore, we demand an end to the policy of abandoning our friends who are deemed to have made themselves intentionally homeless. This unfairly punishes people unfamiliar with the law or who are victims of bullying by rogue landlords.

  • Stop cars becoming terrorists' weapons with a new Vehicle Technology Act
    Recent events in London and and Europe have shown how terrorists are using vehicles of all kinds as weapons. This has to be stopped to stop the loss of life and disruption caused by the terrorists weaponising vehicles. Foootnote - just like driverless vehicles post collision system responses can be managed to protect the driver and others from further injury. PLEASE SIGN NOW! So many people have been injured and affected by the latest London atrocity. Action is required immediately. Effective Action can be taken using modern Technology. New Vehicle construction regulations are needed which will: (a) Compel all vehicles to be equipped with sensors (Warning sensors) triggered when the presence of people or objects with which a vehicle may collide. (b) Compel all vehicles to be equipped with sensors (Collision Sensors) that will detect if a vehicle has actually collided with a person or object. (c) When Warning Sensors are triggered a vehicle alarm system with responses at graduated levels must be automatically operated. (d) When Collision Sensors are triggered the vehicle must be automatically brought to a halt the duration of which will be automatically graduated in time depending on severity. This will not only prevent Weaponising but also all failure to stop events. This should apply to all new vehicles(Warning sensors) sold in the UK no later than 1st January 2023 and all vehicles on the road by no later than 2025 with a government sponsored car modification scheme.

  • Army Veterans Tobias Elwood MP, Tony Davis, and Mike Crofts should be awarded the George Cross
    These men have already served their country, and still selflessly ran to give aid in the face of danger. Their actions deserve recognition. The George Cross is awarded for "acts of the greatest heroism or of the most conspicuous courage in circumstances of extreme danger."
