On 9th August 2018 a bomb was dropped on a school bus in Yemen, killing 40 boys aged between six and eleven, just one of countless atrocities that happen every year, fuelled by the global Arms Trade. The UK actively supports this deadly trade by hosting numerous Arms Fairs each year, including the DSEI Arms Fair, one of the world's largest Arms Fairs that happens every two years in London. The British Government officially invites representatives from some of the world's worst human-right's abusing states to these Fairs, including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Pakistan and Egypt, countries on the UK's own "human rights priority" list. In the past illegal weapons and torture equipment have been discovered on sale in these Arms Fairs, as Mark Thomas recounts in his book 'As Used On The Famous Nelson Mandela'. These Arms Fairs need to be stopped. Every child deserves peace. Arms Fairs Aren't Fair. Let's stop the UK's role in fuelling war.

To greatly reduce traffic in rush hour, reduce emissions by reducing traffic. To serve the community (during school hours) in rural areas and the elderly in the city (route via hospitals , doctors, post offices, swimming pools).

A new spaceport in Sutherland, Scotland will energize the UK's ability to reach space and create a large number of new jobs and economic options for Scottish residents in a remote region. With a tiny, sustainable development it will offer new high tech jobs to local people and bring Britain back into space for the first time in almost 50 years.

It will encourage people to use the services easily rather than not use them due to the financial concerns. When I was unemployed way back in 2004 I campaigned to make access to benefit office freephone. I was appalled that when people have no money and are needy they have to pay to call unemployment services. I am not sure but I believe they now have a freephone telephone number for job centres.

It’s plastic that no one else is campaigning against

Many women find out they have abnormal cells when it could be too late. Allow women to have a smear test before they are 25!!!!

Our public services are underfunded, if the wealthy and multinational corporations were forced to pay their fair share of tax, many issues that our public services are facing due to a lack of funds can be resolved.

I have two children, both of whom wear glasses. My younger child's eye sight hasn't stabilised yet and he needs a new prescription pretty much every 6 months. We have to choose a new pair of frames every 6 months, because it actually costs a lot more to have new lenses put into an old pair of frames than it does to buy a new set. It seems complete sets of frames and lenses are subsidized, but simply changing the lenses in an existing frame is not. I am very grateful we parents get free eye tests on the NHS for our kids and that we also get reduced prices on the frames and lenses. However, I do think it is wrong that I can get a pair of frames with lenses for free on the NHS, where as if I want to keep an existing frame, I have to pay in the region of £35 per lens. This crates a huge amount of waste (we have around 15 pairs of old specs at home), wastes resources and the NHS is throwing away money when it can't afford to do so. I expect the NHS is tied in to some deal with the frames manufacturers which dictates that they cannot subsidize new lenses for existing frames. but it creates so much unnecessary waste and expense, so this needs to be changed! Let's encourage parents to reuse their children's frames and reduce the amount of waste we all create, but let it not cost more than the price of a new pair of frames with lenses.

You, the governors, do not have a democratic mandate to make this decision because the majority of you have been appointed. You have not been elected by parents or teachers. We, the parents, demand a binding vote on the proposal, for our children and for the local communities.

Dear Sajid Javid Please could you explain the rational in forcing elderly great-grandparents, Mozaffar Saberi (83)and Rezvan Habibimarand (73) to return to Iran? They live in their Edinburgh flat, bought in 1978, have raised 4 children in the UK, have 11 grandchildren and a great grandchild all living close by. Not only do they rely on daily support from their tight-knit family, but they also enable their daughter to work as an NHS nurse by caring for her severely autistic son. This decision lacks basic humanity; it erodes the values of a tolerant and civilised country making a mockery of the “British Values” teachers must talk about as part of Prevent training. How do their British grandchildren feel about British values when their grand-parents, in their final years, are torn from their family in this in-humane and futile manner? It is heart breaking and it is not in our name, we urge you to reconsider and allow Mozaffar and Rezvan to live out their lives with their family in the UK. Here’s a link to the full article in The Guardian 18 January 2019. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/jan/18/home-office-refuses-to-let-great-grandparents-remain-in-uk CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Too many MP's are voting against policies that both main parties promised to deliver on and it is destroying public faith in democracy. By ousting those that lie just to get elected, we can prevent dishonesty and restore trust in our democracy.

Our British lorry drivers are dwindling at an alarming rate and the shortage is becoming a national concern. Lorries are the life blood of the countries demand for consumption. The transport of goods is vital for the survival of all of us. We're all responsible for this as we're all consumers. In fact the only reason for lorries on our roads is us... All of us. With a career change I am now a dry powder tanker driver. I financed this myself which cost thousands. And was having a discussion with a family Man who was not happy in his present career. I suggested to him, why not an HGV driver. His reply was an anxious "I would love that, but however, I have neither time or the finances to do this". I spoke with a mother of a school leaver who suggested they had not heard or thought of this option. We desperately need to get the backing of the government, industry and hauliers to promote the finance, career promotion and training of new British HGV drivers.
