In a democracy people should be entitled to hold different opinions of committing this Country to War without fear of being labelled as sympathetic to the abhorrent actions of terrorists.

We are far to dependant on the banks. If you were unable to get a bank account life would be ormost impossible Consider paying bills . receiving your salary . getting a rental property. The effects are far reaching . The banks charge what ever they want and increase charges when ever they want . You have to have a min monthly earning either £500 or £1000 or they will not give you an account. Looks like the banks run the UK not the Gov.

Hedgehogs are a protected species and many of the birds are declining species in the UK. The allotments are a vitally important wildlife sanctuary.

The football world has reacted sadly to the news that Gary Neville will be taking over at Valencia, vacating his place on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football. His insight will be missed. There is only one man who can replace Gary and unite the nation. That man is Tim Sherwood. With his unique mix of cutting edge insight, banter, sartorial elegence and second to none punditry, Tim is who we want. Nay, Tim is who we need.

While big energy companies make record profits, the fuel bills of ordinary Londoners are out of control. And while other major cities make the transition to clean energy -- tackling air pollution and climate change -- London is lagging behind. We don’t have to accept profiteering, poverty and pollution. Switched On London is calling for a people-powered alternative. A publicly owned company with social justice, clean energy and democracy at its core... SOCIAL JUSTICE --> We want an energy company that offers fair, affordable prices, based on a progressive pricing system. --> We want an energy company that does not cut-off access to those who can’t pay and that does not install unwanted prepayment meters. --> We want an energy company that re-invests all revenues in measures to address fuel poverty and the cost of living crisis, particularly prioritising ambitious investment in household energy efficiency measures. --> We want an energy company that treats its workers fairly, meaning paying at least a London Living Wage, good terms and conditions, secure, unionised and non-precarious work. CLEAN ENERGY --> We want ambitious public investment in new renewable energy generating capacity (we are initiating research into an appropriate specific investment target). A significant portion should be invested in renewable capacity in London. --> The GLA and London local authorities must divest their pension funds from fossil fuels, and re-invest this money to fund the new renewable capacity we need. Other public funding sources for new renewable investment to be explored include municipal bonds and borrowing. --> We want an energy company that aims to sell 100% renewable energy as soon as feasibly possible. DEMOCRACY --> We want a company fully owned by London public bodies (without any private partners) but controlled by people directly. --> To do this, we want to integrate a range of democratic mechanisms, including: 1. A board of directors made up of: 1/3rd London public officials; 1/3rd energy company employees elected democratically by the whole energy company workforce; 1/3rd ordinary London residents, elected democratically with all London residents and all non-London customers given a vote. Board membership must guarantee at least 50% representation of women. 2. Annual open assemblies in every London borough, where representatives of the company have to answer questions and take input and advice. 3. The creation of an online democratic forum where people can discuss and influence the company’s operations, including through public petitions. 4. An obligation for the board to discuss public petitions, if backed by 1% or more of London’s population. 5. An obligation for an online referendum on a proposal, if backed by 5% of London’s population. 6. 100% transparency in all operations. 7. These democratic measures apply to all London residents, regardless of citizenship/nationality status.

Mr Cameron’s remarks yesterday about those opposed to the bombing of Syria, being terrorist sympathisers has shown the utter contempt that he has for over half the population of this country, not only is it untrue, it was an absolutely appalling thing to say, about the people he is supposed to be governing and as such should be immediately retracted, and a full apology given to the country from the House of Commons. A Prime Minister is expected to behave better than this, he should behave in a manner suited to his office. Not only has he let himself down, he has let the country down, and I believe he has let the House of Commons down. This has shown that by making comments like that about the people of this country, he is unfit to be our prime minister and should resign forthwith.

This petition was sent to Wellingborough Council who are now considering options, however, we wish to keep up the pressure not to make changes to this children's play equipment. Please keep signing. It is wrong that one person moving into the area almost 5 years after the children's play area was established can remove something that many children enjoy over the summer. The park is adjacent to a busy pathway linking one of the town's main car parks to the town centre and there are a number of lively pubs with live music in the vicinity and a busy main road with heavy traffic. It is unfair to pick on the gentle sounds of the children's toys in a safe walled park garden when so much other noise pollution exist. Extract from Northamptonshire Telegraph (2/12/2015): A resident’s noise complaint about play equipment near her home may lead to it being silenced or moved to a completely new location. Sound cushions have been part of the play area at Croyland Gardens in Wellingborough since it was installed in 2011. When it was designed, members of the working party wanted the play area to be as interactive as possible so four sound cushions were incorporated in the design. But after planning permission was granted in 2012 to convert the Avon House building from offices to flats, a noise complaint made by a resident in May this year has prompted Wellingborough Council to investigate. Environmental protection officers looked into the complaint and were concerned that the noise levels being produced by the stepping stones were ‘loud and very tonal.’ ... Councillors will discuss the issue at a meeting starting at 7pm on Monday, December 7, at Swanspool House in Wellingborough.

In UK an estimated 400,000 elderly people are lonely on Christmas Day. If John Lewis decided to spend £7 million on providing a party for them instead of advertising, it would mean an immediate £17.50 per head ... and even more than that if other large chain stores would get involved. The free publicity they would get from this wonderful gesture would encourage perhaps more people to feel like buying Christmas gifts from them.

1. Davies Commission Hub Fallacy The Davies Commission report recommends expansion of Heathrow on the fallacious conclusion that because London is an international business hub it needs a hub airport. As a hub airport facilitates flight transfers for people whose destination is not London, the benefits of this activity to London as a whole are limited. It is much more important that London is a widely accessible destination than that one of its airports is a convenient place to change planes. In any event, Heathrow is never going to be as convenient a hub as the larger purpose-built hub airports in Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris. 2. Vulnerability to terrorist attack Not only is concentration at a single hub airport for London unnecessary, in the present climate it is in terms of national security most unwise. A terrorist attack could seriously disrupt or curtail operations at Heathrow. The more flight capacity is divided among all London’s airports, the more resilient London would be against the effects of such an attack. It makes no sense to give Heathrow a third runway when all the other airports serving the capital have a single runway. 3. Anti-competitive to favour Heathrow at expense of smaller airports Heathrow is no longer a nationalised industry, but a private sector company; its success should depend on competition with other airports serving the same market. It should compete for traffic with other airports serving the London area, not be given a privileged trading position. If you agree, please sign the petition.

The disparity between the State pension our oldest citizens have to live on, and an MP's high salary together with non means tested perks and allowances, is a national disgrace, but its never even been brought to light, or discussed. Well its time it was. Please sign and share my petition.

Anti women and anti renewable energy

This is NOT the right site or company to be operating a 24hr incineration operation. The proposal will see a 12m flue protrude from the valley bottom with an incinerator to burn waste that cannot be reclaimed. With steep sided valleys and frequent temperature inversions, fumes, smoke and particles will NOT disperse from the valley. 24 hour operations will cause noise disturbances for residents. As those living nearby know the noise travels much further due to the topography and acoustics of the alley and will be amplified during the night when there is no other ambient noise. Even run effectively this site would present potential health and quality of life issues for local residents. However, CVSH have a track record of failing to meet conditions associated with their original planning application and are subject to frequent complaints of noise, odour and environmental damage that could be avoiding with better management. The lack of pro-active environmental impact reduction and tendency to act only under duress when complaints reach critical mass do not bode well for their effective management of a waste incinerator! Please SIGN NOW to challenge their planning application and keep the Ryburn clean and free from environmental damage.
