I have been very upset with uber drivers for cancelling on me in the past, but recently I have come to understand why they keep doing this. When an uber driver accepts a job, it merely comes up with "accept job", then it tells them their pick up location, then once they are at the pick up location they finally know where they are dropping the customer to.... and this is fair enough if they are in the middle of their shift, but for someone who has been working all night, and decides to take one more job (thinking it won't be too far) then realises the job is an hour their and back, this isn't so fair on either part. Us as uber customers get angry at this driver for even accepting in the beginning which leads us to report them. They then get suspended for a few days from their peanut paid job - which is most likely what they are providing for their families with. So please sign and share to hopefully get uber to realise how unfair their system is to the driver and customer. And hopefully by doing this, we will have minimal driver cancellations!

After the government has refused a second vote on the issue in parliament, the charity Help Refugees (represented by Leigh Day solicitors) is taking the Home Office to court over the Government’s failure to make suitable arrangements for relocating and supporting a specific number of child refugees as promised by the scheme currently known as "DUBS" under UK immigration law. For those who haven't heard about DUBS, it was an amendment made to 2016 law which requires the government to make arrangements ‘as soon as possible’ (after 31 May 2016) to relocate and support a ‘specified number’ of unaccompanied refugee children from Europe. This scheme was created as a response to the increasing pressure on the UK to help in what has been deemed the worst refugee crisis since World War Two. In February of this year our Home Office abandoned the continuation of DUBS quietly in Parliament, and local governments and charities across the UK have been trying to fight the decision. Help Refugees has now launched a formal legal challenge against the government as part of a last chance effort to protect what is truly a lifeline for unaccompanied/lone children fleeing war and/or conflict to Europe. Keeping the DUBS scheme is essential because currently there are 28 million children uprooted because of conflict in their own countries but over 1/9th of the world's refugees right now are in Europe and children make up a third of these numbers (and above 45% in the South East of Europe such as Greece and Macedonia), which make legal channels like DUBS essential for these kids to be able to begin a better life and to not be left to be targeted by traffickers and abusers who focus on Europe's camps. As the 6th richest country in the world, the UK is denying it's international commitments by reversing yet another safe legal passage for these children. Our local councils have said the UK can take in 4000 more children - meaning we have the capacity, all that's lacking is the willingness of our government to support our capacity to give. In its stance, the Home Office is targeting without justification children who have absolutely no one else to turn to and whose lives and futures are at significant risk right now. They have lost everything, meanwhile our government stands from a distance and says we have nothing to give. The Charity Help Refugees and those lawyers standing against the Home Office this week, are doing so because they reject this position. They reject that this is the UK we believe in. We ask the UK public to support this court case as the last chance to keep this scheme in law. We ask that you sign and spread the word about this case and that you don't let the lives of so many kids be determined behind closed doors. Let's shame the Home Office for its position, let's stand tall and fight for the right of these children to a better future from conflict.

So many cars speed on this road one day a child is going too get hurt......what does it take too make a road safe?

City of York Council with Network Rail have put forward proposals to enhance access across Scarborough Rail Bridge by modifying the pedestrian/cycle bridge to allow step-free access at each side and making the bridge wider (from 1.3m to 3.6 metres). The bridge is already a popular crossing for pedestrians/cyclists but is inaccessible to those with mobility issues, pushchairs that are too heavy to lift up the steep steeps and those who are physically unable to carry their bicycles up/down the steps. The proposals will allow easier crossing of the bridge on this popular route without having to resort to crossing at Lendal Bridge which is heavily congested with motor traffic and has narrow footpaths. More details and a plan can be found on the Council's website: https://www.york.gov.uk/downloads/file/13458/proposed_new_bridge_plan & https://www.york.gov.uk/scarboroughbridge Plans will also be on show in York Station foyer between 1pm and 6pm on Wednesday the 12th July, and between 8am and 1pm on Thursday the 13th July. This phase of the consultation process on Friday the 28th of July.

There is a local resident that feeds seagulls 3 - 5 times a day earliest feed is at 5:15 am. The noise Is horrendous and there is bird excrement everywhere it has become unbearable. It is disgusting and and totally anti social towards the other residents.

This is important as through out the whole of neutrogenas business, in Labs they have put chemicals and substances (tested) on poor animals which could result in them being killed. They could be injected with chemicals or they could have it put into there eyes, which could leave them blind. However once the animals has been 'used' as much as it could be they will kill the animal. They are bred in the labs to get more animals to be tested on and for the whole of their life they will live in a cage in the lab. Many of the animals species are things such as Rabbits, Mice, Rats, other mammals etc. This is inhuman of them, wasting and making the animals lives a living hell by torturing them every day. It is unfair how their life has been stolen from them just to test if a product works/is safe for the buyer and testing on animals doesn't even 100% work as other animals are designed differently to us humans. How would you feel if you were one of the poor Rabbits stuck in a cage, never to walk in the sun, injections and tests constantly done to you, never to have proper contact with others? Please sign this petition to help stop this all together, thank you

I am so sad our local branch of Santander is closing, I have had great personal service for over 20 years, and the staff have always been helpful and resolved all my banking needs. Although I have phone, and online banking, there are still physical transactions that need to take place, like paying in cash and cheques and queries that are often easier to address in person. During my visits I am aware that this branch attracts a lot of people with English as a second language; others unfamiliar with banking proticol; vulnerable adults and disabled people with their carers who all like me and other members of the public need or prefer personal assistance. There is often a que so the bank certainly isn't under used, and appears busy most of the time . It is another 25min on to the next branch, which increases the security risk when going to pay in large amounts of cash and cheques, which I do regually and will take an extra hour out of my day. If I use a bus that costs £3 a trip. If this is inconvieneinet and difficult for me it will be really difficult for those less able or on low incomes. Please sign if you support this petiion to keep the Stoke Newington Branch of Santander open and to stop closures to other local branches.

It's is very very basic human right to live under a roof and this law open doors to abuse.

This is important not only to my generation but to future generations who might not get to experience the delights of watching me attempt Gangnam Style without actually speaking Korean (this happened) or someone snatch a mic to freestyle rap during the instrumental of Angels (again, happened) Charlie's gets a bit crazy but it's a place EVERYONE can enjoy! CHOOSE LIFE. CHOOSE CHARLIE'S. THANK YOU.

Because he's showed so much humility, given all his spare time and supported Bradley Lowrey and his family through the hardest, darkest days of their lives.

For once a footballer has stood up and been a proper role model for kids and shown them how to behave. Awarding Jermain wouldn't just be for him but an award to show that being a good, decent person in a money orientated game is the best way to be. Thank you Jermain Defoe.

He's a good player and we need as many good players as we can get. He's been in Britain for about ten years and a citizen for a couple of years at least. To continue to deny him the right to play Davis Cup and possibly qualify for the Olympics is discrimination.
