  • Justice for Orgreave
    The miners and their relatives have never had a full and fair explanation as to what went so wrong with the policing, and subsequently, on the day and the days after the events at the plant.

  • Orgreave Now
    There is a lack of faith in the South Yorkshire Police but there also seems to be a cover up with cabinet papers not being released. The bitterness of this dispute still hangs over the communities involved

  • Legalize marijuana for recreational use in the UK
    Marajuana is a drug that doesn't do harm to your health. The benefits are endless and it should be legalised. People should be able to make their own choice about smoking marajuana. Alcohol is legal yet, health issues, accidents and crimes more specifically happen due to alcohol. With any drug people abuse it, it doesn't even have to be a drug. Food is addictive, so is a cigarette, they can lead to health issues. I'm not suggesting that everyone abuses drugs or that all drugs are okay, I'm informing you that cannabis is not a bad drug. Laws should be put into place with the legalisation of marajuana just like the law in place for drinking alcohol. There are many benefits to marajuana, be it the health benefits or the the physical and emotional benefits. Medical marajuana should be legal in UK and prescribed with the consent of a parent or guardian for people under the age of 18. Marajuana is proven by many studies to treat cancer, seizures, mental health illnesses like anorexia and depression and even aches or pains. It is can benefit many people's lives for the better, so why are people denied this?

  • Release Aasia Bibi
    Politics and religion are not compatible in the running of a country where practicality and pragmatism are much in need. Religious belief is an irrational but purely personnal matter and not one to excuse the brutal supression of people who may hold an alternative view. This sort of behaviour is nothing but a return to the days of the 'Inquisition' and has no place in the 21st century.

  • Parking on pavements
    This is a very dangerous practice for blind pavement users, parents with prams and disabled persons. It also hampers drivers backing out from driveways as their vision is restricted.

  • Barclaycard is putting their customers in danger of scams
    Some years ago Banks and Building Societies pledged to never send emails to customers containing active links. This simple device meant that if a customer received an email with an active link in it, they would know it was a fraudulent email (potential scam, phisher or concealed virus etc) and that they should delete it to remain safe. Barclaycard have steadfastly refused to do this for their customers. This is a call to Barclaycard: If you REALLY care about your customers, then STOP SENDING CUSTOMERS EMAILS CONTAINING ACTIVE LINKS.

  • Provide male domestic violence/rape helpline information in men's toilets
    This is important as many people of all genders are afraid to report abuse or even discuss the subject in any manner at all. With a national campaign this would provide much needed access to services and support for people of all genders and help reduce abuse. http://www.dvmen.co.uk/ http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/abuse/Pages/domestic-violence-against-men.aspx http://rapecrisis.org.uk/statistics.php

  • Peace Talks Between Russia and UK
    At the moment, a nuclear war could hit the UK like a train wreck if we press on. We can't do this. I won't be able to see my younger brother grow up to be a handsome man, my aunties will never get married, we won't have basic things, this will even affect the animals. If we can't stop this now, it won't ever stop until we are extinct. At the moment, people are living in fear and panic due to this, this needs to end.

  • Keep Chesterfield in Derbyshire
    DEMOCRACY - Chesterfield is a key Derbyshire town& gateway to the Derbyshire Peak District. Has strong connections to neighbours NE Derbyshire and Bolsover District Councils and of course Derbyshire County Council and key player in the East Midlands. However the Leader of the CBC has promoted the town linking with Sheffiels and South Yorkshire in a major shift of allegiances in services and investment. This has/is being pushed through without full Community Engagement and the Labour controlled Council voted in favour with out Labour Councillors having a free vote. This has been a total misrepresentation of the will of the people and Parliament must step in and stop this happening. I ask all both local residents and people from the wider UK to show that Council Leaders can't just push this through without a local peoples referendum.

  • Ethical Business Standards Scale - Campaign for Legislation
    This EBSS will illustrate in coloured graphic form how 'ethical' the business is (similar to colour-coded nutrition labels on the front of food packaging*). The 'ethical' rating will be determined by a set of standards (similar to Shelter's 'Living Home Standard') designed to give workers fair rights: * Minimum term/secure contracts for workers * Sick pay for workers * 28 days paid holiday for workers * Minimum/living wage adherence etc. (precise standards can be agreed upon) * Health & Safety certificates * Diverse workforce Furthermore, the business will receive minus points for: * Employees hired via agencies long term * Zero hours contracts * No holiday or sick pay * Short term contracts * High-profit margins * Tax evasion * High turnover of shareholders * Off-shore headquarters * Minimal tax payments to countries which products are sold in The tally of these points will form their 'Ethical Business Rating', along with other considerations whcih can be drafted as this idea gets implemented (such as charity, profit-sharing, continued professional development, etc.). Of course there will be cases where businesses will inherently have a low 'ethical' rating, because of the short term nature of that particular business. This is an acceptable stigmatisation, and consumers will understand in these cases (just as they understand but still occasionally opt for unhealthy foods with high red nutrition warnings as a treat). The EBSS will encourage ethical business which, in turn, will be more beneficial to UK citizens as it will improve their employment standards and such their standard of living. Businessess will be stigmatised (by a hopefully discerning public) for rating low on the EBSS chart, and therefore will be encouraged to run their businesses more ethically. The desired outcome is to get Secretary of State for Business to discuss it in parliament, and perhaps even bring about the creation of legislation to make EBSS mandatory by UK law, so that UK businesses have to use the scale to apply and publish their ethical rating (according to the standards stipulated). (*as per the The Food Information Regulations 2014 & European Food Information to Consumers Regulation No 1169/2011).
