• Call for a directly-elected President of the Eurozone
    This will provide the democratic legitimacy for firm political leadership and direction in order to turn round a failing economic system (see chart) in the Eurozone. With the UK no longer in a position to stop 'ever closer union' but (together with other non-Eurozone countries) wishing to see a strong and stable Eurozone, now is the time to take this initiative before other separatist movements can cause EU disintegration.

  • Restrict commercial use of Drones
    A very small but vocal lobby is pushing another 'innovation' of questionable value through the legislative system. Citizens must be allowed to have the final say on drone use as the air above our heads should not become a playground for the few and be a threat to our health and safety.

  • Save allotments green space:tonight 26th July to be destroyed for a car park
    Allotments are the key to local sustainability they provide food and produce for the community, much needed activity and socialisation for local people , they support the environment for providing a home for urban insects birds and animals ,and are an oasis in our sprawling concrete of green fertile ground . The local government are attempting at the last minute to rail road through plans to commandeer the allotment land to make way for a car park for the station. In the constituency of Theresa May ! I am not against providing facilities for the station as it encourages use of our railways however this needs great debate and cannot just be pushed through the back Door , to destroy part of our environment and heritage and community without first consulting the local community. The parish council meeting is tonight 26th July . Please sign my petition This is important for our environment and our children's futures.

  • BHS: change the rules governing extraction of wealth from businesses
    Philip Green's behaviour in relation to BHS has yet again highlighted the loopholes and weaknesses in UK law governing the handling of money and finance. Green's behaviour is not untypical and it is clear that there are people who will always seize opportunities to make themselves wealthy with no heed for the consequences to other people and to society at large. The law needs to be changed to take account of this inevitable human behaviour so as to prevent the damage that arises from it. Removing Green's knighthood may satisfy a need for revenge but it does not even approach solving the problem.

  • Sir Phillip Green: give the money back
    This matters to the people you have impoverished. It matters to the whole of the business community that you have disgraced. It matters to the nation which cares for its reputation as a global leader in corporate governance. It ought to matter to you that your name is vilified and is become a byword for amoral greed. It matters to me because it matters.

  • Twitter / Facebook - Tell us if fake profiles are being used to manipulate the UK political space
    There is some concern that Facebook and Twitter are being manipulated in order to undermine political debate in the UK. Many people who suggest this are accused of being paranoid or conspiracy theorists. Facebook and Twitter have the resources and data to confirm whether or not this is true, and if it is true to confirm whether or not it is a technical breach of their Terms and Conditions. It is also within their power to indicate the likely source of such a campaign. By conducting such an investigation and publishing the results, 2 of the largest media organisation in the world have a powerful opportunity to send a message about what is acceptable behaviour in political discourse on social media, and more broadly to make a strong statement about the value of fairness and honesty in democratic society.

  • The sale of ARM Holdings.
    ARM Holdings designs a licenses their designs to chip manufacturers, these designs are embedded in a vast proportion of the smart phones that we all use. SoftBank, the Japanese company that is to buy ARM, has guaranteed that there will be investment and no significant changes, our government supports the sale. ARM are well placed for the Internet of Things, are already profitable, so what is the motivation for the sale other than to get shareholders a payout on their investment? This is a short term approach. SoftBank is in debt to the tune of £75 billion, the takeover is £24.2 billion, they will have to borrow for the takeover ( The Independent). A government endorsed sale of a successful company well placed for future developments, why?

  • Save "Professor Burp's Bubbleworks" ride
    I, like many others, have been going to Chessington World of Adventures for many years and my children have enjoyed all the activities tremendously. Imagine my horror then when I saw that the "Professor Burp's Bubbleworks" ride is to be closed after the summer holidays. Typical! Even though it's a magical ride for all ages, it's a godsend on a hot day when you need to escape from the sun for a while, it's a restful ride for exhausted parents and grandparents and a calming ride for over-excited little ones, no doubt it's got to go because it doesn't make enough money. Why can't they just spruce it up with a lick of paint and just re-vamp it a bit? Chessington is a more suitable park for babies and toddlers because of the zoo, so it's madness to take away one of the rides aimed at this age group, surely? Have they conducted any surveys or handed out any questionnaires before taking this insane decision, I wonder? It would appear not, from the huge number of incensed comments I have already seen plastered all over facebook, all saying how much this particular ride means to them. Please take a moment to sign this petition and add your name to the chorus of disapproval before it's too late and Professor Burp is no more. Even if we cannot save the Professor from certain death, perhaps we can ensure that his replacement ride will at least be specifically for the littl'uns (and preferably another cool, indoor ride) and not another stomach-churning ride aimed at teenagers, who are already well catered for.

  • Make VW Pay For Their Corporate Fraud
    We base our choices on a number of variables, and environmental concerns are one which inform my decisions. I was duped by an international corporate fraud into purchasing something that wasn't what it purported to be. VW should either buy back the vehicles they mis-sold or compensate the owners for the fraud they were the victims of. This is happening in the US where the government has been very strong. I believe our government should act in a similarly robust fashion and force VW UK to offer a similar compensation.

  • Aberdeen City Council Is Blocking Aberdeen Royal Infirmary Car Park Plans
    Many people are not able to use the bus service due to the high costs, or the long waiting times. Also many people are in poor health, and have no choice but to use the car to either attend appointments or visit the hospital. The parking at present is exceptionally poor, and many have to go home without visiting patients as they cannot get parked.

  • Save Chelsea Farmers Market
    The Chelsea Farmers Market is one of the few remaining outdoor independent trading locations in the heart of Chelsea reflecting the great history that made the Kings Road and surrounding areas a place individual to the rest of London, a thriving village. Any plan to demolish this would remove a heart of the community that is different from any where else in Chelsea. Only this site offers a unique outdoor experience to diners and shoppers. The Kings Road has increasingly become like any other High Street in England, however The Chelsea Farmers Market offers an escape from this by providing relaxed outdoor experience all year round to the residents and visitors of Chelsea. It's a unique destination enjoyed by all walks of life. The loss of The Chelsea Farmers Market would be another nail in the coffin for independent traders and individual community space for the sake of the commercial and financial gain of the minority. We need the power of the local residents, visitors and Londoners to help prevent this change to an area that will be demolished and never be re-created. Your signature can help preserve one of the few existing open air trading spaces, save jobs and prevent another concrete jungle from being developed.
