Oppose the Assisted Dying Bill - EuthansiaIf this Bill is allowed to go through the vulnerable in society will be targeted to choose suicide. The elderly, infirm and disabled will be at extremely high risk and we will no longer be able to trust Doctors. The result will be mass murder. Already in Belgium the figures have increased from 235 deaths by assistance to 1,807 in just 10yrs! Do not let their blood be your hands!77 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jessica Mayhew

Bird flu jabsI know of someone who had to have the jab because she was working with children. She developed narcolepsy and depression ultimately taking her own life. Her sister gave an interview to The Guardian and name GlaxoSmithKline as the manufacturer. A GO is quoted as not understanding why the DWP won't agree to compensation.

Working parents being punished by Tax Credits slashMany of us, having put our details into budget calculators, have been horrified to find we will be much worse off once this budget swings into action. Some of us, already struggling and on the poverty line (which has conveniently been moved by this Government) will really struggle after the cuts to tax credits for working people. The choice between heating & eating will become reality for some. For a lot of people, we work to provide a better existence for our children, and also to give them a positive role model. We are not work-shy benefit claimants, we had children and then continued to work. Giving free childcare to 2-3 year olds really doesn't help those of us with slightly older children, paying for childcare during school holidays so that we can continue working. Many services are ran by working parents. The majority of those who work in this country are parents, and the tax credits helps our family finances to be survivable. It seems so unfair that we are doing what the government wants - "Get Britain Working" - we are!! And we are also parents, who are eking out an existence with Tax Credits help, without that help there is literally no reason for us to work. Its unfair, its unjust, why punish us?? If ALL working parents chose a day next year, and ALL chose NOT to work that day, to stay home and be parents, for one day, imagine the effect that would have!! A big message, from ALL of us working parents, don't cut our tax credits. Please.139 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Eleanor Tristram

Legislate for complete ban on dogs in hunting.It is morally obscene to hunt, terrorise and rip to pieces a living animal for sport. The hunts that are flouting the law need to learn to respect the law and after the SNP being lobbied by such a large percentage of the population on both sides of the border, such a ban would be in keeping with the will of the people356 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Annie Harrower-Gray

Upgrade the Grid Now to facilitate Rapid Expansion of Renewable Generation.Experts tell us that the time left to act to prevent catestrophic climate change is very short. Yet the UK government, National Grid/Transco & Western Power Distribution are knowingly preventing further applications for Renewables generation in the South West of England, except for minor domestic installations, until grid upgrades associated with the ill fated Hinkley Point 'C' nuclear power station project are carried out, which currently has slipped to 2023 at best & may yet even be cancelled. It is clearly evident that government policy, which supports expansion of nuclear power, is deliberately holding back further growth of Renewables in the south West in favour of nuclear power. If we are to prevent a climate runaway situation we need rapid growth of clean, green sustainable power now. The nuclear industry, which world events show has a poor safety record, cannot respond in the required timescales. The UK government needs to recognise that alongside demand management/reduction measures, rapid implementation of Renewable Generation is the only way of urgently tackling Climate Change. The South West of England has vast potential for all types of Renewable generation & it is essential that government policy measures are implemented urgently to require National Grid & Western Power to commence upgrade of the grid system in the South West specifically to facilitate rapid essential expansion of Renewable Energy.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Smith

Sir Stephen House has to go!Sir Stephen House, Chief Constable in charge of Police Scotand has presided over too many failures since the forces creation. The latest incident, where two people sadly died after officers failed to attend their emergency call, is just one sad example of his failure. We've seen case after case of Police Scotland letting the public down. The death of Sheku Bayoh at the hands of the police, the routine deployment of officers with guns on our streets, scaring and intimidating the public. Sir Stephen House as the leader of this failing organisation must now take responsibility.78 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alasdair Clark

Stop charges for vehicle recovery if stolenBecause it is immoral that any person who has had their vehicles stolen should have to pay an extortionate amount to get possession back of there property, we already have to go through the process of insurance rises and loss of earnings, we understand that if it is not MOT'd, Taxed or insured. fair play, but when it has been stolen from your home, place of work or shopping etc , then in order to get it back you are charged a fee of somewhere between £150-£250 and then daily additional fees on top. We are the victims not the criminals.80 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Wayne Neish

BELLS ON BIKESHere is my letter to which I have not had a reply: Dear Mr Rutley M.P., Today I had a close shave in the Weston Estate park when I narrowly escaped serious injury in a collision with a cyclist. There was absolutely no warning and I can only put it down to intuition that caused me to turn in time. In turning I lost balance and fell to the ground. The cyclist, a youth perhaps in late teens shouted out an abusive comment and rode on. Luckily I fell on the grass verge of the football pitch. It took me a while to scrabble about putting my groceries back into my shopping bag and even longer to get upright. At eighty years of age it is not so easy to get up from a prone position without assistance which in this case there was none. I recall when I was a young boy cycling home from school along the pavement and I was stopped by a policeman. Apparently I was guilty of a number of crimes: in not having a serviceable bell on my handlebars, a front lamp that wasn't working, no chain guard and seemingly most criminal of all - of riding on the pavement. After having had my name and address taken I was cautioned and let go on condition that I address the offences forthwith. I now wonder why bells have disappeared from bicycles and why cycling is permitted in public parks. Another worrying factor is that I could well have received a much more serious upset such as a broken hip or even been the victim of a stroke. I am writing to you to ask firstly, if you can do something about the hazards presented to the elderly by cyclists and latterly bring up the subject of a bicycle proficiency, appropriate insurance and a number plate for identification in the case of an accident such as I have described. I do appreciate that in the light of ever expanding queues at food banks and the latest terrorist activities my complaint might appear as very trivial indeed but nothing is trivial to the OAP lying in hospital with pneumonia following hip surgery. Perhaps if you have no interest in this matter you would be kind enough to tell me to whom I should be writing. I look forward to your reply William J Watters 27 Somerton Road Macclesfield SK11 8SG111 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Bill Watters

Please Help Us Change the Doctrine of Joint Enterprise and Sch21 Mandatory Minimum TariffsDid you know right now, in 21st century Britain, there are thousands of people imprisoned for life for crimes committed by others? These men, women and children - some as young as 13 - have been convicted of murder, despite the fact that prosecutors know they didn’t kill anyone. This epidemic is known as Joint Enterprise and was highlighted in Jimmy McGovern’s BBC drama, Common. What if we told you that people (including politicians) know all about it, that it is widely discussed and widely criticised, yet this government has failed to act. Joint Enterprise has been left largely unchecked and unregulated until our campaign brought the government to account. This petition will help us to force the government to abolish this unjust law and replace it with a fairer form of justice for everyone. This petition will also seek to reform the tariff system in Schedule 21 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003. This denies judges the discretion to sentence on the basis of genuine culpability and results in unfairness, particularly to defendants convicted under the doctrine of joint enterprise. Please sign JENGbA’s petition and help stop hundreds of people per year being convicted and condemned to life sentences for crimes committed by other people. Also Joint Enterprise will be challenged in the Supreme Court this October which will be the first time they will be considering the question of the harm Joint Enterprise causes secondary parties. This is a real opportunity to change the law and so if you are able to donate funds, please pledge today via: https://www.crowdjustice.co.uk/case/changing-the-law-on-joint-enterprise/ Please don’t forget to SHARE!11,147 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Joint Enterprise Not Guilty by Association (JENGbA)

Defend The Right To StrikeWorkers' rights must be protected, and not left wide open to exploitation by Government, multinational corporations and unscrupulous employers. Plans for the biggest shake-up of strike rules in 30 years would make holding dodgy employers to account almost impossible.
