• Do not invite President Trump to visit the U.K.
    America's has chosen a narcissistic racist misogynist to represent them on the world stage. Whilst respecting their right to do this we have the right to refrain from endorsing him as an individual by refraining from inviting him into the U.K. President Trump has values that run counter to British values of equality and openness. We should not subject the Crown to the indignity of providing an audience to such an individual. Whilst Parliament has previously discussed excluding Mr Trump from the UK And has decided against such action, this is not the same as extending an invitation to him. Mr Trump is free to apply to visit the UK. But we should refrain from inviting him.

  • Palm Oil-Free Online Shopping
    The facts are clear about the impact of palm oil on the worlds resources and carbon contributions. Right now the blame appears to be on the consumer for not making ethical choices. The Government and UKs Leading retailers need to make the choices clear for consumers so that the UK public can make green decisions more easily and quickly everyday. The UK has made a commitment in the Paris Agreement which it must honor. Small enforcements like these will impact large scale public consumption and use of Palm Oil Free products and help the government meet UN targets. It will also raise awareness of this issue amongst the public and help change attitudes to the significance of our daily choices on world health and climate change.

  • Volkswagen Group emissions scandal
    All corporations say they are fair and ethical but with the emissions problem that arose from the VAG scandal people within the UK and Europe have purchased cars based on their so called statistics. These customers have been duped and lied to and as a result have been wronged by VAG. As well as fixing the problem with the cars that their customers have been lied to about VAG should also offer compensation much like they are doing in the US and Canada otherwise they believe their customers of Audi, Volkswagen, Skoda, Seat are all second class to their US counterparts. If VAG want's to treat it's customers like this then people should firstly campaign and when they refuse to listen to their customers then people should ensure they do not purchase from this group again.

  • Homophobic Bullying in Rural Areas
    In school, I have been campaigning for Stonewall and by using the Stonewall website I have learned a lot about homophobic bullying and how it affects young LGBT people, while looking at homophobic bullying I read a story by the guardian that stated "Hate Crime is everyday reality for rural LGBT people". This is one of the biggest reasons I believe that rural areas especially need to run more services in support of LGBT people. I live in Somerset, Bridgwater and I only know of one group that people can easily visit name 2BU. Using the website I also read stories of children affected by homophobic bullying such as Mikey Barnes who said "I first came out at school at the age of 12 and it wasn’t always easy – a lot of students bullied me for it, and even the few teachers I opened up to told me that I was “too young” to know for sure. I struggled with my mental health for a long time as a result." I believe that many other children part of the LGBT community have felt this way before. I believe more support groups like 2BU or Stonewall support groups would be beneficial to many young people. Stonewall have a history of helping people internationally and locally to not only accept themselves a part of the LGBT community but have also helped to spread awareness to those who might not understand who the LGBT community are and what they represent. Through looking at the work they do around the world they help me understand the struggles the LGBT community have faced but also show how far they have come since the charity organisation started. I hope people look at the website to find more information and understand why there need to be more services available to young people who consider themselves homosexual. What can be done? I think it would be useful if more young LGBT people recieved support by having more groups that they can attend to talk about their issues. It would be great if there could be either a helpline or a way which young people could ask and answer questions anonymously. An increased awareness in school about homophobic bullying by providing schools with advice, posters ,booklets and training to stop bullying in schools.

  • Stop Joe Corre Burning London's Cultural Heritage
    Punk is part of our London cultural heritage. It's importance as one of the key youth movements of the 20th Century is acknowledged worldwide and millions of visitors come to London attracted by its multi-cultural qualities. It matters not just to the people that lived through the period but to our future generations. We believe that Joe Corre should donate the collection to the Mayor of London to find a suitable permanent exhibition space.

  • Solar panels for every home.
    The UK needs to invest in renewable energy but the cost of wind turbines is high both financially and to the landscape. Solar panels on each home will generate electricity for the home owner and feed excess back into the national grid. Costs of solar panels are falling and could provide the answer to our energy needs.

  • Please don't close the Haberdashery!
    John Lewis has a long tradition of excellent quality and variety in the products they sell in the Haberdashery department. It is the main reason I visit the store. It is also easily accessible to many customers. There is very little customer choice left in this field and this closure will only narrow it even further. There are many outlets for bikini waxes or wine drinking. Please don't close the Haberdashery!

  • Stop agency fees for tenants and provide a more reflective referencing and contracting price.
    A letting agent provides a service to a landlord, and that service is to find them a customer (the tenant.) The landlord will pay the agent their agreed commission, job done.... This is how it should be. However, Agents have begun the practise of also charging the tenant ludicrous amounts just to move into a new property. In actually fact they are being paid twice, by two different parties for one job. Why on earth is it the tenant's job to pay for a service provided to a landlord and which, in actual fact, has already been paid by the landlord? This is just completely ludicrous? Along with the usual months rent upfront, the deposit of a month and a 1/2 rent, the totally unreflective and completely unfair referencing costs and administration charge, (usually hundreds times more than the actual cost to the agent.) tenants are being priced out of a home they should be able to afford and it often forces them to take a loan just to move into a new property. This affects not only the tenant. The landlord is also losing out. In order to justify the extortionate costs of moving into a property, the average monthly rent, has to be slightly decreased. This, of course directly affects the landlords' income. So as well as a shortened market, the landlord is also paying even more, straight into the pocket of the agents without even realising it. I believe we need to stop the disgusting habit of double charging two different parties against each other for the same service, and also to have a more reflective rates of referencing and contract drawing. Agencies should no longer be allowed to get away with this...

  • No parking charges for visiting hospitals
    I find this very important due to the fact I am now in a position of paying £276. every month to a private company to see my wife who is in critical care and may not survive . there are no concession rate for long term parking on a daily basis and the parking company keep all proceeds and the hospital get none. even the nurses doctors and everyone working at the hospital have to pay many the same rate has me and thousands of other patients and visitors. the Hospital in question is the Coventry and warwickshire University Hospital. I believe the Government must act now to stop these companies taking advantage of the sick and vulnerable. it is not possible to park close to the hospital due to parking permits needed and only issues to local residents making the hospital carparks the only place to park . I know not all charge the same rate has my local Hospital parking charges are £7 a week when paid in advance but again this option is not available at Coventry University Hospital and the hospital has no input and the charges made due to the parking being provided by private greedy owners. I can not afford to visit my wife I have reduced all payments to everything I need at home to very basic supplies and still can not afford the £276 per month parking charge charged at a daily rate of £9.20 a day. that is not including travelling costs to and from the hospital. I am registered disabled and using public transport like buses is not an option for me and taxis are way to expensive. please this is not a complaint from me this is me being concerned for all people having to visit hospitals all over the country that could be charging extortionate prices for some private company to get rich quick . end all Hospital charges or make all parking charges fair and affordable and owned by the hospitals to get extra funds.
