The horror of the refugee crisis was really brought home to myself and many others in this nation after seeing the heart-breaking photo of a toddlers lifeless body lying washed up on the beach. There are many people in this country who do care and do want to help these desperate people. They need a safe home as much as you and I. If each town agrees to house a small number of refugees it would be possible to make a huge difference to a large number of these people without putting too much pressure on any one area of our country. If you agree please sign this petition or start your own local petition to show our government that we do care and want our nation to agree to help many more refugees.

There are many reasons to be wary of fracking, primarily because it involves the use of toxic chemicals and results in the release of toxic materials from underground rock, which if released into the water supply and air are hazardous to health. Fracking has already been banned in France. • Fracking involves injecting water, a chemical cocktail and sand, deep underground, to break up rock and extract natural gas. • Fracking can easily go wrong and the water supply can be contaminated with naturally occurring toxins such as lead, barium, bromide, manganese, chloride, hyrocholric acid, methane and radiation. Fracking has been linked to birth defects, cancer and infertility in Colorado. There are numerous cases of water and air contamination in the USA and in 2014 a family whose health had been seriously affected by fracking close to their home, won a landslide 3M lawsuit. • The Vale of Belvoir and surrounding area is sensitive to earthquakes, as typified by the 2008 earthquake in Market Rasen and 2015 earthquake in Oakham making it a very unsafe area for fracking of any kind. • According to Greenpeace UK, in the USA and Australia, fracking accidents have already occurred contaminating water and killing livestock. • Greenpeace UK, have highlighted that fracking will be monitored by independent agencies with a poor history of performance and no robust monitoring in place. • Fracking would result in hundreds of unsightly wells or ‘drilling pads’ which could stretch hundreds of meters or even miles underground and potentially under people’s homes • There will be increased traffic of diesel trucks laden with fracking chemicals and waste fluid. • Large volumes of water are required for fracking at the expense of our water tables. • According to the International Energy Agency, very little gas is extracted and for huge effort and expense to the environment. The Conservative governments climate advisor advised against fracking in 2012 due to its limited returns and high risk to the environment. • The gas extracted won’t necessarily be for UK consumption but could be sold overseas Kate Maclean & Caroline Coram, September 2015 SOURCES CNN (2014) Texas family plagued with ailments gets 3M in 1st of its kind fracking judgements http://edition.cnn.com/2014/04/25/justice/texas-family-wins-fracking-lawsuit/ 3M was granted against Aruba petroleum.

Aylan, the toddler who drowned fleeing Syria, was just three years old. His town was under attack by Isis. His five year old brother and his mum also died trying to reach safety. We don't want Britain to be the kind of country that turns its back as people drown in their desperation to flee places like Syria. So let's stand up for Britain's long tradition of helping refugees fleeing war.

This is important because thousands of innocent people are losing their lives on the grounds of their sexuality, something they simply CANNOT change. It promotes hatred and propagates the children. Those who are gay and want to live a normal life don't have this option as a result of its prejudice and legal position.

The sick and infirm are going without care because they can't afford it due to the fact that, during their WORKING lives, they saved for their retirement. These same people are paying through the nose for their medication whilst trying to exist off the meagre pension the government gives them, currently the third worst pension in the EEU. Students worry about hanging a millstone around their necks in the form of student loans. There are thousands of overseas students attending UK universities, why not charge them a little more to subsidise our students. They are our future and should be fully supported.

The national government are failing refugees coming to Europe. Humanitarian standards must not be compromised for immigration targets.
