Philosophy For KidsFuture generations will need to be able to think critically, reason and question much more than their ancestors in order to enable them to more easily filter the enormous amount of data coming at them from numerous social, news and campaign media and help prevent them from succumbing to extremism.56 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Williams

Thomas Cook, decent compensation to the Shepherds.Thomas Cook are morally responsible for the deaths of two children, Bobby and Christi, who died of carbon monoxide poisoning in a hotel room for which Thomas Cook were responsible. The inquest found this week that their deaths were unlawful although criminal prosecutions in this country are unlikely. The senior managers from Thomas Cook refused to answer questions in court, their legal right but to their absolute moral shame. Thomas Cook received £3.5m compensation following the deaths yet the parents of the two children have received only a fraction of this amount. This case is morally offensive, disdains the principles of natural justice and shows the contempt with which large corporations hold ordinary people.119 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Moody

Pachamama cafe to trade at Easton Arts TrailThis is important to us: myself, my partner, toddler and little one due in August, as we are a small family business and the decision to not allow us to be involved in this and other recent events, directly effects the viability of our business - our livelihood. We have demonstrated our commitment to the community and the centre, by operating our cafe at the centre over the past 2 years. In order for us to continue trading, in what is a difficult financial time for many us, we need to be able to trade at events, especially key ones in our local calendar, as without these opportunities, our future is under threat. We feel passionately about our community and privileged to be able to be involved and run our cafe business in the heart of our community, our home. We have received positive support from the local and wider community, with so many positive comments about our food and friendliness. We source as many of our products locally with a focus on fair-trade and organic where possible. We provide our food at affordable prices, so that we can offer something for all members of our community. We have shown our continued commitment to those that use our cafe but also all users of the Easton Community Centre and care about the connections and interactions that we have with all of those who we encounter. If we are excluded from certain key events then this will be the end of our business, so please sign our petition so that those who have the power to do so will enable us to continue trading by allowing us to be involved in weekend events too as was agreed in our initial interview when we first took on the tenancy and as we have continued to request. We had lots of positive feedback at the last Easton Arts Trail from traders, performers and the public at large. Please show your support so that those who have made the decision to offer this opportunity and other such opportunities to outside caterers hear your voice and ours, which will mean they too will hopefully show their support and allow us to open our cafe at this key event as previously agreed. Thank you in advance for sharing your voice in support of our small family business, so that we are able to continue trading.

Reclassify children's fancy dress clothes from toys - to meet clothing standardsCurrently fancy dress costumes are classed as toys so are not necessarily fire proofed or fire retardant. The amount of children that are taken to hospital with burns due to fancy dress clothes is increasing. This can be stopped, simply by changing the classification from toys to clothes. Currently fancy dress clothes are CE checked for flammability. But this check is only suitable for toys which burn a lot slower than fancy dress clothes. Fancy dress clothes should be in the same category as the flammability of children's night clothes. After all children WEAR the fancy dress clothes, they do not play with them. "At the moment fancy dress costumes are not necessarily fire proofed or fire retardant. They are classified as toys, not clothes. Toy clothing, identified by the CE mark, is regulated however – including dressing up toys. Also, the flammability of children’s nightwear is regulated. All toys on the UK market are required to comply with the relevant flammability requirements. Toy manufacturers use materials that comply with the strict rules and carry out the necessary tests to demonstrate compliance"57,991 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by Emma Smith

Keep the Licence fee - Save the BBCThe BBC is rightly famous throughout the world for providing high quality televisual and radio programming.It is the last bastion of advertising free television and radio in the UK. Considering the broad range and high quality of programming produced the licence fee is remarkably cheap. Despite criticism from several quarters it provides balanced reporting and commentary on news, politics and current affairs which contrasts favourably with other broadcasters. There is scope for reform and modernisation of funding in the digital age but the basic concept of funding by licence fee should remain in place.113 of 200 SignaturesCreated by David Smith

No More UK ParliamentNobody set out to create Parliament. It developed naturally out of the daily political needs of the English King and his government. It didn't develop continuously over time neither, but went through short stages of rapid growth. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was created in 1801 by the merger of the Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland under the Acts of Union. The principle of responsibility to the lower House did not come about until the 19th century. Members of the House of Commons were elected in an out dated electoral system, under which constituencies of vastly different sizes existed. Which is still used today. Parliament is one of the oldest continuous representative assemblies in the world. It is a story that involves battle, war, invasion, several dethronings. We can't keep living in fear of death, famine and despair. Parliament claim cuts are needed to bring this economy back to some stability. Look around you. What positivity can you see that doesn't get overweighed by negativity? Many people in the UK are suffering from depression and other mental health issues. Poverty is rapidly increasing, drug abuse and crime rates are high. We are affected as a consensus. No more shall we have to suffer. There can be an alternative to Parliament. Stand Up. Be heard.55 of 100 SignaturesCreated by daniel wilkes

Reform the UK voting systemOnly 36.9% of the UK population actually wanted the current UK Government which means the majority of the population do not want the Conservatives to represent them. How can this be democratic? Before the next election we need a reformation of the voting system so that the Government we end up with represents the majority of those who voted for them.184 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Deborah Margaret Sharpe

Keep Your Hands Off Our NHS CameronWithout the NHS people like the elderly, disabled, which we all know your poor late son Ivan was, sick children and poor will suffer as they will not be ableto afford private health care and subsequently, like poor Ivan, die. I, myself, have epilepsy and, at the age of six months, contracted menigitis. This left me partially disabled and, without our beloved NHS I, no doubt, would've probably died as my parents were unable to afford private health care. In recent times my 70 year old dad suffered a subdural haemotoma and, yet again, without the NHS, we would have no doubt lost him. Get rid of the NHS and our blood will be on your hands.147 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ben Wilson

remove the new minister for the disabledIn its stupidity this government is taking us for fools! Justin Tomlinson has been appointed Minister for the Disabled. Because of his background he is totally unsuitable to take the post. He has a strong record for voting against the interests of the sick and disabled claimants and also for the repeal of the Human Rights Act, whilst voting for the bedroom tax!! Under these circumstances he should not have been given the post, or perhaps it was deliberate knowing the governments record in this field.280 of 300 SignaturesCreated by John Roffey

Additional Member SystemThe current electoral system though producing clear results, does not fully reflect the will of the British people in their electing of members of parliament. The Additional Member System retains the link between Members of Parliament and their constituencies, and also in most cases produces clear majorities; yet having a proportion element allows the people of the United Kingdom to better elect members according to their considered will and purpose.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Rees
