  • STOP SCAMMERS NOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!
    Many people are falling victims to scammers and they have no one to turn to for help, they have been manipulated into giving away their life savings and some it led to suicide. Fake accounts and harassments are being reported through social media and nothing is being done about it which allows easier access for scammers to find their next victims and something must be done about it and more people should be aware of this.

  • Add Height and Weight to The Equality Act 2010
    Height and weight discrimination is a proven, yet largely unrecognised bias in society. Several scientific studies have reported this, with one study stating in some cases weight/height "were even more prevalent than discrimination due to gender and race". https://www.nature.com/articles/ijo200822 Important protected characteristics such as age, race and sexual orientation, (all things that cannot be controlled), are included in the legislation. Yet height and weight, (some medical conditions mean weight cannot be controlled, such as an underactive thyroid and Cushing's syndrome), are ignored by our government. Is it fair that only some members of society are legally protected from being discriminated against? Scientific Findings: Height Discrimination - "employers prefer not to hire or promote short employees, and that they do not adequately compensate them" https://papers.ss-rn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3166828 - "someone who is 6 feet tall earns, on average, nearly $166,000 more during a 30-year career than someone who is 5 feet 5 inches--even when controlling for gender, age and weight". https://www.apa.org/monitor/julaug04/standing Weight Discrimination - "weight discrimination by individuals with obesity were common, and its negative consequences are highly relevant issues within society" https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26596238/ - "Weight discrimination is highly prevalent in American society and increasing at disturbing rates. Its prevalence is relatively close to reported rates of race and age discrimination, but virtually no legal or social sanctions against weight discrimination exist." https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1038/oby.2008.35 The law is meant to protect us all. Why doesn't it cover all types of discrimination? This is wrong. We can do better. Amend the Equality Act, and get justice for all.

  • air traffic bans should include private jets
    It is now widely accepted that the spread of corona virus is exacerbated by people flying around the world and the government is currently considering a ban on such travel except where unavoidable. It seems the focus is on holidays but this ignores the large numbers of flights by those wealthy enough to afford their own private jet (or more). These are not subject to the same scrutiny as the commercial sector but represent a similar risk regarding transmission of viruses. In addition, a Lear jet carrying one passenger and cabin crew is not conducive with an effort to counteract global warming. To ignore this private sector is to suggest that, once more, there is one rule for ordinary people and another for the powerful and wealthy.

  • Fight for carers on carers allowance
    If it was not for carers who receive carers allowance it would fall on adult social care, social services, the government and the state... carers allowance for 35hrs plus per week is approximatly £67 per week... yes they can claim a universal credit top up of giving them about an extra £30 per week but when you add these 2 ammounts of pay together and divide that by 35hrs care they give it ammounts to approximatly £2.20 maybe slighly more per hour... per hour for a carer its over £5 less than minimum wage... and there is approximatly 1 million carers in this country trying to care for loved ones and friends which is helping state costs by billions of £££££'s... but they should be respected so much more by getting payed more carers allowance and universal and not pay for there own travel. Please, please, please help fight the government for all of the carers in great britain. Thankyou kindly.

  • DVLA rip off
    The practice of taking money from two customers for the same car. There is no other name for this but legalised fraud. Also, DVLA rules are complex which can lead people to make mistakes especially for those who are unaccustomed to the internet. Even if the mistake is made by the DVLA, they are not allowed to refund tax paid. This is unacceptable.

  • Grit the roads of Wigston Meadows
    Poor weather conditions has caused a dangerous layer of ice and snow to cover the roads of Wigston Meadows. On the morning of January 25th a Lorry could not leave the development and blocked the entrance and exit for all vehicles. A salesperson from the development has already disapproved of the gritting saying that in the event of there being a motor vehicle accident the parties involved in the accident would hold DWH / Barratt involved. The residents completely disagree with this sentiment and all signees will not hold DWH / Barratt responsible for accidents caused on roads that have been gritted. There are occupied houses immediately adjacent to the T-junction entering the development and if the roads remain un-gritted there is a risk of a vehicle colliding with these houses. Signees require immediate action on this to ensure safe travel of vehicles, safe passage of pedestrians including children, and safe entry and exit of the development.
