• Challenge the touch taboo and encourage safe touch in schools and care settings
    Affective touch is a powerful medium for conveying empathy between people, for example when acknowledging that a child is highly successful, anxious or upset. A large body of recent neurobiological and psychological research clearly demonstrates that affective touch activates a crucial nerve system in the skin of all mammals that defends against stress and promotes feelings of well-being. A lack of touch is linked to less ability to cope. Safe touch also promotes discussion about what is not safe or wanted by other people.

  • More peak time carriages
    The travel conditions are worse than the underground. We are squashed in like cattle taking up isles and all areas. We have the right to a seat for what we pay or to be able to at least stand comfortably.

  • Sterilised and SUFFERING
    Three years ago I thought that sterilisation was the best decision for me and my family but it turned into my worst nightmare possible. Like so many other women, I have been suffering in silence and it is destroying our lives. The pain, discomfort, depression, family upset (and so much more that we have to live with every day might have been avoided had we been advised correctly initially. Because PTLS is not yet a recognised health issue, women are not getting the medical help and support needed. Woman are getting into debt taking out loans to pay £1000's of pounds on private surgery for clip removal or having reversals so they can live a normal life. Personally my life hit an all time low where I considered extreme solutions to end it once and for all. It was a shared post a friend showed me that made me realise others were having similar issues with sterilisation and I started to research. This condition is real, so many women have contacted me to share their story. Other countries recognise it yet the UK remains blind to it. We ALL deserve quality of life and all we ask is that condition is researched properly, supported with dignity, explained more clearly initially and symptoms dealt with after professionally.

  • Codify the UK Constitution
    This is important for limiting government tyranny and preventing human rights being eroded due to the UK lacking a codified constitution where rights can be defined for all citizens, making it much clearer and easier for citizens to stand up to tyranny

  • Kurdistan Independence
    The Kurds are indigenous nation who historically have always inhabited their own land, Kurdistan, Land of the Kurds, which stretches over the mountainous chain of the Zagros region and its plains, with a population of more than 40 million, who have retained their societal culture and have preserved their own languages and culture, are perhaps the only nation on earth who are still stateless. After the demise of the Ottoman Empire, the Kurds were divided among four newly invented states in the Middle East, Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria, forming entirely a different ethnic minority in each state while the Kurds were made to lose their own identity in the newly created arbitrary countries, these were compromising homogeneous national groups, their by denying the existence of other national groups within their own borders. The signing of the armistice agreement on 30 October 1918 which signaled the demise of the Ottomans has paved the way for the Treaty of Sevres on 10 August 1920, effectively allowing the allied powers in dividing the Ottoman Empire to implement the Sykes –Picot agreement of 1916 which created artificial countries in the Middle East by drawing a line in the sand and instead of delivering the Kurds from the Ottoman Empire, it marked the beginning of their oppression throughout the Middle EastSubsequent events and the new upheaval in the Middle East, including the falls of successive dictatorial regimes, the rise of radicalism and sectarianism, have added to the instability of the region, created new realities on the ground and have shown that old artificial borders are bound to fail. Our Kurdish leaders as well as the whole of the Kurdish nation have joined in, in demanding to have their own independent Kurdistan. The Kurds are the most freedom loving nations but also the most victimised nation throughout their modern history on this planet, who believe in liberty and democracy, therefore we ask you to support our petition to the British and European Parliaments to lend the Kurds full support in achieving their goals in having an independent state. With our sincere gratitude and regards On and behalf of PNKs Dr Khoshnaf Al-Kadi 2017-07-16, London

  • Put in Speed Bumps along down Albany Road
    Unfortunately at present Albany Road is a very dangerous place to be walking on the public footpath.It's is equally very difficult to judge when to cross the road. There is a high degree of speeding motorists down Albany Road. Disappointingly the police don't appear over enthusiastically interested. Not so long back i received an unwelcome attempt of being made to look humiliated & embarrassed. It was promoted to others that I was not correctly illustrating the truth. Fortunately they say a camera never lies & I have that to hopefully dispel any possible uncertainty anybody may have. Unfortunately as consequence of these frequently speeding motorists down Albany Road I've unreasonably endured months of sleep deprivation & my pre-existing medical conditions have been exacerbated & adversely effected.

  • Treat drug use as an addiction not as a crime...
    Despite the fact that I am in agreement with drugs being illegal in the UK. It is to my concern that punishing drug users as criminals causes more harm to the users. Many of these people are pressurised members of the population between 18-29 year olds, who use drugs as an escape from real life troubles.

  • Reduction of Speed Limit at Millhouses Park (Abbeydale Road South), Sheffield
    This stretch of road is in a densely populated residential area, opposite a busy park. The traffic coming from the Abbey Lane end appears to be regularly exceeding the current limit of 40mph, even as vehicles enter the 30mph zone. Our concern is that this road is very dangerous for people to cross, which may result in a serious accident.
