UK victims of terror let down by GovernmentUppermost among the terrifying sensations for a victim of terrorist attack must be the sudden loss of personal control and equally sudden complete vulnerability. How appalling that these are the very feelings with which many victims and certainly their families have to confront when subsequently they need financial support for inquests and court proceedings. There is no governmental provision for them in these situations. Eastbourne MP Stephen Lloyd has already drawn attention to this situation both inside and outside the House of Commons. He has sponsored an Early Day Motion for Parliamentary attention (link below) He writes : “British citizens who are victims of terrorist atrocities must receive, as a default, the same legal support the state bodies do. “French citizens, for example, if caught up in terrorist attacks, they – and their families – are automatically entitled to state-funded legal representation in court proceedings. “Frankly, the MOJ’s approach to the matter is an insult to all those who have lost loved ones in tragedies such as these. It begs the question; do the French authorities care more about their citizens than we do ours?” [11 June 2019] Stephen Lloyd's Early Day Motion at : https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/52897/statefunded-legal-representation-for-victims-of-terrorism14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Colin Clarke

People are not pestsThe signatories of this petition wish to register our disgust at Southern Rail treating people begging at stations as pests. These people have slipped through the widening cracks of our society through bad luck and deserve to be treated with dignity and compassion, not as a nuisance. We demand an apology from Southern Rail and the immediate removal of all “Security” notices telling people not to encourage begging by giving money.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Simon Brewin

Sustainable Confectionery PackagingAlmost all (if not all) confectionery packaging is not recyclable today adding to the waste sent to landfill. This is crazy considering a lot of the main confectionery products used to be sold in recyclable packaging until recently. For example, Dairy Milk bars (Cadbury), Galaxy bars (Mars), Kit Kats (Nestle) all used to be in foil and paper until relatively recently, which could be recycled. Today all those bars are in plastic, the non-recyclable kind. Please sign the petition so we can show the big confectionery companies that their packaging matters and they actually need to return to their old packaging methods and expend that across their whole ranges.71 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Martin Bannister

Call a general electionThis is extremely important because of the amount of people suffering due to the way the conservatives have governed. Businesses are suffering our economy is suffering and our image to the world has been damaged beyond belief. Britain is not acting like a democracy the conservatives are guilty of allowing foreign states to interfere in our rights to a fair vote96 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark Lewis

Mandatory Carbon emissions labelingWe are in the mist of a climate emergency. We have little time to act and we have to make it easier for the consumers to make educated decisions on purchases. Currently we are still seeing a lot of businesses confusing or creating doubt about their products. This is not acceptable.64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Hanna Erikson

Pay carers for travel time.Currently a lot of carers don't get paid for traveling from call to call. They may be on an hourly wage slightly higher than the minimum but whilst traveling they are not "on the clock". This is legal as long as their pay averages out at minimum wage. Quite often, carers are actually receiving under minimum wage!! Carers ARE still working while traveling, it is not a break!!. Also, carers deserve to be paid above the minimum wage!!2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ellen Waites

Reinstate year 8 vocational subjects at Stanley Park SchoolChildren who find academic work challenging now have fewer option choices for vocational subjects which is discriminatory. For children looking to take vocational subjects in year 9, their options are now dance or home cooking. Any children hoping to pursue a career in any technical subject after secondary school, these option are of very little help. Forcing children in to subjects they show little vocation for will be an unwarranted distraction to schooling if the other children on these courses.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Yasin Makda

Southwark Council MUST consult estate residents before destroying planting they've put inThousands of residents across the borough are routinely run roughshod over, treated as problems that make council officers' lives harder. But we are why they are here, why they have jobs in the first place. These are our homes, and it is not right to come to someone's home and start destroying it without even having a conversation first.80 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Tyson

Tesco's to use Potato Starch bagsPlastic is extremely damaging for the environment. This is from the production of the bag to its lifespan. Tesco's sold over 1 billion bags for life with many consumers using these as 'single use' bags. Therefore I would like Tesco's to replace their bags with biodegradable potato starch bags. This would have a massive effect on the environment.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Winpenny
