• Making zero hours contracts illegal in Britain.
    Because employer's are a business abusing worker's. And people on zero hour contracts cannot get mortgages and are penalised in other sectors of the economy. Making this bad for the British economy and the Country.

  • Reduce speeds and dangerous driving in Chobham
    Chobham is a small but busy village. It is populated by young families and elderly residents. It is also positioned between several major motorways. Residents have noticed a dramatic increase in the number of deaths, accidents, dangerous and aggressive driving. Accidents have involved barriers to houses, walls, parked cars Due to the primary school, children's centre, pre school and elderly population. We are seriously concerned that the next accident is going to involve a child or an elderly person. We would like to see a variety of traffic calming measures introduced to the local roads. These roads include: Chertsey road, Windsor road, Bagshot road and Pennypot lane. We are parents of young children and we know any parent would be devastated if a horrific accident involving a young child were to happen due to factors which are preventable. We urge you to take action.

  • Help Hastings General Practice
    GP practice is in decline in Hastings. Appointments are already limited and waiting times long, and why is this? There simply aren't enough doctors. Deficit in training doctors, the unfair terms of junior doctor contracts and the unattractive proposition of a general practitioners workload in comparison to their salaries has meant that there is a shortage in GPs. The lack of doctors and the state of health and healthcare services in a town as affected by poverty as Hastings, should be a priority. Today, checking local job listings, I found 12 positions for GPs in Hastings in just the first search page. Multiple practices in the area are short of doctors and are advertising to no avail, and a few of the remaining practices are currently offering "inadequate" services, not through incompetence but that there is not enough doctors to cover the workload. 5 Practices have been taken over by IMH, a private healthcare provider, these practices are also struggling to recruit doctors and provide care to standard for their approximately 20,000 patients. We need to act now, as the worst end result of this is not privatization but that while conditions are worsening and there is a paucity of care thousands of patients with serious morbidities could deteriorate, unable to be seen. A&Es are not the answer for these people as they are already overloaded and waiting times in Hastings are particularly high. We need to make a stand and we need to do it now, we need to tell the Government that we do not accept these standards of care.

  • FBI vs Apple for Human Beings
    I'm not a terrorist, my wife is not a terrorist, my kids are not terrorists nor are my neighbours terrorists. However, I do not want government to be able to access my personal information on my device, in the cloud or where ever and whenever they like. If you think that they will require a judges decree to access your data, think again. 1984 comes to mind, they work for us, they must listen to us. Go away, leave us alone and stop perpetuating war and devastation around the world!

  • End the destruction save the Calais Hunger Strikers
    The Calais Jungle is home to approx 6-8000 people fleeing war and persecution. 305 of these are unaccompanied children. Many are vulnerable, elderly, injured, ill or pregnant. Many families have young families have young children. Many have family in the Uk they are trying to reach. The boarders are closed and these people find themselves in a desperate state of limbo. The recent court ruling of the demolishion of the south side of the camp promised -Peacefull, humane eviction would take place over several weeks -no use of bulldozers -adequate alternative accommodation would be given -community spaces would be protected This was a LIE Excessive use of CSS gas and water cannons have been used to aggressively force people from their shelters. People were given an hours notice to leave. The new containers have as little as 150 spaces left. There is no where else for these people to go. As little as 1 bus a day had been taking people to centres across France. Lack of communication means many do not know where they are being taken to. Women and children have been targeted by gas. Many children have been hospitalised. There had been 1 confirmed death of a infant. The following is a statement from the hunger strikers. "We on hunger-strike because we left our countries to find our human rights and unfortunately here we find none" "At 12 noon, 2nd March 2016 we stopped eating and sewed our lips together. We will continue not to eat until our demands are met." Currently 9 men are on hunger strike. Their lips have been sewn shut in protest at their voices not being heard. We enter into the 7th day. They are becoming weak but remail determined. It is vital their human rights are listend to. Please sign and share this. Other ways to help are to email your local MP using this letter to request urgent action is taken https://calaishungerstrike2016blog.wordpress.com/solidarity-actions/

  • End the gender bias in autism diagnosis - girls matter too
    Being a parent of a beautiful child that is currently going through this process I understand the complexities that arise from having a child that has different needs. It not only affects the individual but the whole family as a unit. Research tells us that THOUSANDS of young girls are getting misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed due to a lack of awareness and MALE BIASED assessments. Meanwhile this leaves the families crying out for help and more importantly our children suffering unnecessary anxiety, stress and a low quality of life. As a parent all we want is for our children to be safe, healthy and happy. Our children have a right to a fair assessment and service.The whole autism process is way too complicated, frustrating, inconsistent and can take years to attain a diagnosis. No diagnosis no help. Individuals with autism are NINE times more likely to die prematurely, with suicide being the principal cause. This figure could potentially be a lot HIGHER if girls are getting missed. Many girls will have either have been dismissed as a problem child or driven by their overwhelming anxiety and depression into an already underfunded mental health service. We as a society always focus on our physical wellbeing, yet both emotional and physical walk hand in hand. There is an urgent need for the government to address this GENDER BIAS and ensure ALL KEY PROFESSIONALS across the UK are trained and made aware of the differences. Additionally ALL AUTISM SCREENING TOOLS need to include the subtle autistic traits of girls to ensure fairness and consistency. Awareness, early diagnosis and intervention is all that is needed to help our children. Please sign this life changing petition to ensure that no female child or adult gets overlooked or misdiagnosed and suffer unnecessarily. http://network.autism.org.uk/knowledge/insight-opinion/interview-dr-judith-gould-women-and-girls http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/15332985.2015.1031858 http://autismwomensnetwork.org/autistic-women-misdiagnosis-and-the-importance-of-getting-it-right/ http://www.iancommunity.org/cs/simons_simplex_community/autism_in_girls http://www.theguardian.com/social-care-network/2016/apr/05/autism-learning-disability-premature-mortality
