This Generation have given us everything. They fought for our freedom during WW2. Yet we give them nothing but misery, made to live on a pittance of a State pension. Without this Generations efforts and sacrifices during WW2, none of us would be here today.

Many many lives within the local community have been touched and sadly affected by the incident at Sandilands. It is only right that a permanent memorial is created nearby where Family, friends and further members of the public can come and pay thier respect. It would be the right to do this given the huge sentiment and sorrow within the local community.

People like Sarah Stones of St Neots Cambs who is 48 and has cerebral palsy. Sarah runs her own company motivating people. Her crime was writing the wrong date in her diary and missing her assessment. For this her benefits and car were forfeited. This, in effect, would have stopped her working had it not been for the kindness of her family and friends. She is not alone and the DWP is fully aware of what is happening yet upholds the decisions of Capita. There is a total lack of empathy and compassion from them. I met Sarah when I put up a washing line and mended her gate. She is an amazing lady and i feel so helpless that this goverment is treating severely disabled people, who can and want to work, by taking away their ability to do so.

It is important because it fails to connect with reality. It also means that people delivering the service are expected to do an important job for a low wage and are not seen as an essential resource for keeping people in their own homes. I care about this matter as a retired member of a caring profession (nursing). It is time society at large accepted that caring costs money whether done by highly trained professionals or less qualified individuals.

Carers' save the government millions of pounds by caring for the elderly in their own homes and it is a disgrace that the carer is penalised by having their allowance cut just because they are in receipt of their pension. Many, like myself, have had to give up work to care and it causes financial hardship.

Homelessness, poverty, illness are today becoming a daily thing for families, for children! This needs to stop..

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.

People are having their Mobility benefits cut unfairly

Haringey residents have six concerns about the Smart Meter installation programme: 1. Not being consulted prior to installation; 2. Not compulsory (?); 3. Penalise poor people who live in crowded homes; 4. Risk to the health of humans, animals, pollinators, trees and plants; "10. The World Health Organisation’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) categorised RF EMFs as a Possible CARCINOGEN (Group 2B), the same as lead, DDT, chloroform & methylmercury (31 May 2011)". "11. Dr Andrew Goldsworthy’s research warned that electromagnetically-conditioned water flow could strip lead from pipes (after firstly removing limescale) leading to lead poisoning. (1998, 2007, 2012 and 2016)". 5. Surveillance of water, gas and electric usage; and 6. Security risk through (nuclear) electromagnetic pulse attacks, space weather and hacking (“cybercrime”). Our focus is on Smart Water Meters but not exclusively. Full details about the Stop Smart Meters Haringey campaign can be found on our website below. This petition will be initially delivered to Haringey Council. The target is 2,200+

'I, Daniel Blake' is the most important British film of this millennium, highlighting many pressing issues such as - the absurd inhumanity of benefits bureaucracy - how revenge evictions can have disastrous knock-on effects - how the housing crisis impacts many children's educations and upbringings by forcing them to change schools - the shameful prevalence of food bank dependency, and - how some single mothers are forced into sex work through sheer desperation the film should be mandatory viewing for anyone who cares at all about the plight of their neighbour. 'Cathy Come Home' made a huge impact 50 years ago by igniting public consciousness of homelessness, ultimately leading to the creation of Crisis. it was able to have such a profound effect because it was broadcast to the nation on BBC1; it is imperative that Loach's final film be given the same platform today with over 3,500 people sleeping rough, over 73,000 homeless households living in temporary accommodation (of which more than 20,000 were forced to relocate), and more than 1.1 million three-day food supplies given out last year by Trussell Trust food banks alone, our country is truly in crisis as TV licensees, we demand that the BBC plays its part in highlighting the severity of the situation, by acquiring the rights to broadcast 'I, Daniel Blake' at the earliest possible oppportunity

82 year old Margaret McEwan has, since being discharged from Lennox Castle Hospital 20years ago, lived within a family setting supported by a team of carers. Glasgow City Council (GCC) Social Work Department have decided that Margaret's needs would be better met in a care home. Margaret has complex learning disabilities and is non verbal but she is familiar with her current care team and her daily routine within a loving family setting. She enjoys regular outings and holidays abroad. Margaret's needs can, and are, being met in her current care setting and, indeed, are no greater than many people being supported at home throughout Glasgow and Scotland as a whole. GCC's decision to move Margaret to a care home is purely financial and could be considered inhumane. She is 82 years old and in failing health. GCC should reverse the decision to place Margaret in a care home, away from all that is familiar to her. She should be allowed to live out her remaining time in the only home she has ever known, as part of the family who have taken her to their hearts.

Publication of photos and personal details can risk the security of unaccompanied young people, who are known to be at a high risk of human trafficking and may be exposed to hate crime. The language used by The Sun, the Daily Star, the Daily Mail and the Daily Express to describe these young people arriving from the 'jungle' camp in Calais is incendiary and inhumane. The deliberate questioning of age, without due care to safety or lawful processes, has the very real potential to expose individuals to abuse, racism and hatred whilst in the UK. International law makes it clear that anyone under the age of 18 is a child. Unaccompanied children frequently have no documents to prove their age. Some don’t even know their own chronological age. Others have had their identities faked by human traffickers. There is a duty on the UK to give those in such situations the ‘benefit of the doubt’ where there is reason to believe they may be a child. The current approach of 'trial by media' undermines these young people's right to fair and impartial assessments of their individual circumstances. It ignores well-established, legal processes that are designed to protect those most in need and undermines the validity of the laws to protect children and refugees. ECPAT UK is a leading children’s rights organisation campaigning to prevent child trafficking, transnational child abuse and child exploitation for the past 20 years. To complement our research, policy and campaigning activity, we run peer support groups for child victims of trafficking and deliver training to a broad range of professionals.
