• Stop the murder of Mexican journalists with impunity
    In the past 10 years 700 journalists have been murdered around the world. In 90% of cases these crimes remain unpunished. The unchecked, unsolved murders of journalists is one of the greatest threats to press freedom today. In Mexico 19 journalists covering crime and corruption were murdered with complete impunity over the last decade. Since 2013, 6 more journalists have been murdered with impunity. http://theyaregettingawaywithit.weebly.com/

  • Force Mango fashion to clean up their act
    The Rana Plaza disaster shocked the world as we realised the ill treatment of the workers who make our clothes. We want to make sure that garment workers are protected and that the fashion industry takes more responsibility for treating workers with dignity and respect and that labour laws and environmental laws are observed. http://wheredoesyourlookcomefrom.weebly.com/

  • Have a debate in Parliament on legislation to trigger leaving the EU
    The younger generation, including those not old enough to vote in the referendum, are the ones whose lives will be most affected by leaving the EU. The union of the UK is at stake because Scotland and Northern Ireland did not vote to leave the EU. We are now a nation divided between the generations and the different regions of the UK. We need time to assess what has happened and how to respond. It is the responsibility of our MPs to ensure that such a far-reaching decision is taken objectively and democratically, with full knowledge of the consequences. There is doubt in many peoples' minds that the referendum was truly democratic because it was influenced by misrepresentations of facts and promises that could not be delivered. So further democratic processes should be involved in the decision. More than 1000 barristers have written to the Prime Minister giving their legal opinion that there should be primary legislation debated in Parliament in order for Article 50 to be triggered. The content of their letter was reported by the Independent and other newspapers on 11 July 2016.

  • Ban Bull Fighting Forever
    Killing any living creature in the name of entertainment is sickening. What does it say about us as a species, that we derive pleasure from seeing another life suffer and die? Bull fighting must be banned forever. It has no place in this world anymore.

  • Remove 'Great' from 'Great Britain' & rename U.K. 'F.U.K.' (Former United Kingdom)
    Due to the embarrassment caused to the U.K. by Boris Johnston, Nigel Farage, Michael Gove, David Cameron (and many of the Leave campaigners of the Tory Party in general) in leading the country out of the EU and then jumping off the sinking ship, we the people believe that these islands can no longer be called 'Great' Britain or a 'United' Kingdom. The financial devastation caused by the outright lies and misinformation of the Leave campaign, backed up by the xenophobic Murdoch media, is a disgrace. We have been diminished by the small minded and the greedy. Any so-called ‘union' name should reflect our newly diminished status.

  • Shuffle Hunt
    Jeremy Hunt is a divisive Health Secretary who has presided over a period of unprecedented unrest within the NHS. He has alienated doctors over their contract reforms, and threatens the future of the nursing profession through the removal of key financial supports for nursing students. Theresa May, as the new Prime Minister, has an opportunity to build bridges with doctors, nurses, and the wider NHS. A new Health Secretary is the right starting point to restoring the NHS' trust in the government.

  • Petition for a snap election following the appointment of Theresa May as PM
    As the head of our government, she is the lead representive of the British and Northern Irish citizens. However, having won by default, her views do not represent a large number of UK citizens, such as those who support the following: The ban against fox hunting & badger culling The EU Convention on Human Rights The necessity for public bodies to work to address social and economic inequality Free university education The abolishment of the Bedroom Tax Support for LGBT community to be able to adopt Those against the deportation of EU citizens and those from across the world As part of the democratic process, the UK public should be given the opportunity to have a say on who their Prime Minister is, by voting in a General Election.

  • Fight the Thames Garden Bridge vanity project
    Please help to save the public space on the South Bank. The controversial Garden Bridge is not needed here. Public money will be wasted for a project the campaign for which was never properly and openly conducted by the previous mayor. This will cost at least 60 million pounds in public money (cost estimates are rising all the time) and will ruin the currently beautiful views from Hungerford Bridge at Embankment towards St Paul's Cathedral. At least 30 beautiful mature trees along the South Bank Thames walkway will be cut down, and the present lovely long walkway, with its existing green open space, will be reduced.

  • Protect Welfare For Disabled People
    The current 'austerity' policies are hurting only the poorest & most vulnerable people, whilst the wealthy have only gotten wealthier. This has led to the country being more divided than ever in recent years. The 'Brexit' vote is a prime example of this; where the disenfranchised voiced their feelings & now we need our Government to heal these wounds & bring us together, rather than promote further division. Disabled people are suffering particularly as a result of the cut-backs in public spending & we feel victimised. We have a right to try to lead as normal a life as possible & cutting benefits in what is one of the wealthiest nations on Earth is both unjustified & shameful. Many disabled people are genuinely frightened of where these policies might lead & what our future lives may be like. We've seen other people who claim benefits being used as a scapegoat in the media & we worry, 'are we next?'. We want assurances that this will not happen & that we will remain both valid & valued citizens. We hope & pray that these promises to halt these divisive & harmful policies are kept & that our worries are alleviated.

  • Move Parliament North- reunite our divided nation
    What has become clear from the Brexit campaign, is the bleakness of the divide between London and the rest of the country. Currently London holds every source of wealth and power in the country, as well as the natural advantages of position and climate. Seriously addressing the north/south divide requires more than moving the odd back office function - only a radical move of this magnitude stands any chance of acting as a catalyst to shift power away from the massively dominant south-eastern corner of the UK; regenerating and re-enfranchising the North. From a practical point of view, at a time when the existing parliament buildings are becoming extortionately expensive to maintain, renovating existing buildings in a northern city would be relatively affordable; MPs expense claims would be reduced and MPs would more readily grasp the reality of life outside the London bubble. Time honoured traditions could be maintained, but with a fresh impetus and relevance for people outside the capital. I am a Londoner, I love London and have no wish to live anywhere else; but I understand London has enough going for it to flourish without parliament - in fact, could well benefit from losing it. There is no question for me that the country as a whole would benefit from the move.

  • Universal screening for thyroid disorders before and during pregnancy
    Had I been screened for thyroid disorder before or during pregnancy, my son would not be borderline hypothyroid now. We found out by chance that his TSH and T4 levels were out of range! I was put at serious risk of losing my baby or him being born with a birth defects and many have already lost their babies for an un-diagnosed thyroid disorder. I believe that had I been screened for thyroid disorder before or during pregnancy, my son would not be borderline hypothyroid now. We only found out about me being hypothyroid by chance, as I was breastfeeding him and his TSH and T4 levels were out of range because of me, through my breast milk! I was put at serious risk of losing my baby or him being born with even more serious birth defects and so many women have already lost their babies for no apparent reason other than a possible un-diagnosed thyroid disorder. If women were screened in preparation of pregnancy, many unexplained miscarriages, birth defects or lifelong developmental conditions could be maybe avoided or at least contained and controlled, all thanks to one extra blood test screening comparing to what is the current offering under the NHS services for pregnant women. Please make this become possible, as women are then the ones left with the burden to deal with the guilt, the pain and the sorrow of remembering their rainbow babies! Thank you for signing this petition and for pushing it as far up as possible.
