We have experienced several severe weather events in recent years, including gales, heavy and prolonged snowfall, and flooding. Any event of this sort, as well as being potentially hazardous for us all (and especially for anyone making a journey) places the communication systems under stress. Mobile phone systems are commendably reliable, but are always dependent on continued operation of the base station. The key to making systems resilient in the most severe conditions is duplication - in this case the land line system as well as the mobiles. For someone in difficulty or travelling, a phone call at the right time can avoid an emergency, or worse, later. BT propose to close many of the phone boxes in the county. The list shows 73 boxes to be closed in South Lakeland, 40 of them within the Lake District National Park. Many more boxes are to be closed in other districts of Cumbria, both inside and outside the Lake District. This will leave us without public phones for long distances in hilly rural areas. In cases of difficulty or emergency, the phones are an important part of our diverse communication system - they need to be kept operating if only for this reason.

Another example of the deficiencies of the regulator essentially shifting blame and their own shortcoming on to these practitioners who very bravely risked their own lives in treating ebola patients. These wonderful nurses and human beings should be honoured and deeply respected not persecuted, its an absolute disgrace. Its about time this injustice was recognised and put right please speak up on their behalf

The Home Office state the IPCC are the only way to hold the police to account. It is of concern that the IPCC are able to block a complaint relating to serious police corruption. As a result of this the police are able to act without fear of prosecution and innocent people are locked up. The IPCC blocked my complaint presented by Simon Kirby MP regarding senior police officers who lied when they stated my brother, Alex, stabbed a police officer in the chest with a very large kitchen knife. The case was dropped when it was proved the large knife to be a small mobile phone. The 'stabbed' Officer, facing near death, became a media hero and received an award. Alex served 15 months in a high security prison awaiting trial. Campaign site includes IPCC complaint, full story, evidence and letters by senior police officers.

It would settle the current speculation and uncertainty at this crucial pre-Brexit time, about the role and influence the UK government would hope Mr Farage would be able to wield in an important resource-rich part of the USA, where doubtless his persuasion will secure important non-EU, non-TIPP trade deals for the UK. We also believe he would find the political climate, if not the physical, much to his liking, and he could also stand watch against the climate-change brigade in a key geographical area.

The licence fee is and always has been the source of BBC independence from government interference. If our public service broadcaster has to cow tow to government for its survival, news broadcasts may become biased towards government policy instead of critical.

Children's hospitals are getting bombed in Aleppo. There is a world wide refugee crisis. People are drowning trying to escape from Syria. Children are going missing en route to refuge and losing their parents on the way. This atrocious war has gone on long enough!

The world sees the continuous bombing on eastern Aleppo and the immense suffering it brings but is not responding. How can we let this happen?

This is important because the majority of the people who are going to spend the most time in the building are the pupils and therefore their opinions and thoughts should be taken into account.

This will set a trend through the western world that it is ok to beat, shoot and blow up unarmed peaceful citizens of the respective countries. Firing grenades into crowds, whether a fragmentation, concussion or a flash grenade has the potential to kill and is considered lethal force. These are unarmed civilians, not combatants and they are citizens of America being massacred by the Federal Establishment of the USA, much as many other countries around the world have been. Attacks on journalists are also a clear violation of international human rights and the destruction of media equipment shows an agenda to hide the true level of violence being inflicted upon unarmed civilians at Standing Rock.

Donald Trump thinks he can choose seven times failed parliamentary candidate, professional bigot and amateur clown, Nigel Farage, to be our Ambassador to the USA. That is outrageous and not his choice. In order to reassert the democratic rights of the British people please install Michael Forbes as the UK Ambassador to the USA. Michael has shown his tenacious ability to stand up to Donald Trump's bullying time and again and as a former Scotsman of the year he has a stronger democratic mandate than Farage.

The toilet facilities at Corby Railway Station have become a farce. They consist of one mixed gender cubicle which is out of order 10 per cent of the time because of a design fault, that allows it to block up at least once a week - leaving everyone caught short. The smell of urine round the side of the station where men go to relieve themselves is disgusting and could be resolved with the introduction of a simple male urinal - like the ones found in every normal station

The most important liberty of all is privacy, a right to operate in silence and in peace. Assuming no one is being harmed and everyone is innocent until proven guilty; I'd rank it above the freedom to speak. I wish to admit, but avoid, my republican nature in my argument and I think I can. I wish to remain polite and not be too crude. Unfortunately life is very much crude, and events are rarely polite. I cannot help but notice the masses around me suffering poverty under the guise of austerity. The sheer amount of charities that have sprung up, to cope with public services' duties. I feel this creates an air of "Us First", pitting poor against poor. Whilst those who are supposed to serve this kingdom do so well. This is aimed at our politicians and not a republican's slip. You have a chance to break with tradition and remind the world that "how we've always done it" is a terrible argument for a society that wishes to progress. As I'm sure you are well aware, Royal Assent has not been given in person since 1854 and has not been refused since 1707. I believe that breaking both of these records on the same day would send an important message through the ranks who support this bill, as well as to the people who oppose it. I fear that if you do not, Eric Arthur Blair may become the greatest prophet this country ever created. This comes from someone who hates clichéd tropes.
