Politics and religion are not compatible in the running of a country where practicality and pragmatism are much in need. Religious belief is an irrational but purely personnal matter and not one to excuse the brutal supression of people who may hold an alternative view. This sort of behaviour is nothing but a return to the days of the 'Inquisition' and has no place in the 21st century.

This is a very dangerous practice for blind pavement users, parents with prams and disabled persons. It also hampers drivers backing out from driveways as their vision is restricted.

Some years ago Banks and Building Societies pledged to never send emails to customers containing active links. This simple device meant that if a customer received an email with an active link in it, they would know it was a fraudulent email (potential scam, phisher or concealed virus etc) and that they should delete it to remain safe. Barclaycard have steadfastly refused to do this for their customers. This is a call to Barclaycard: If you REALLY care about your customers, then STOP SENDING CUSTOMERS EMAILS CONTAINING ACTIVE LINKS.

This is important as many people of all genders are afraid to report abuse or even discuss the subject in any manner at all. With a national campaign this would provide much needed access to services and support for people of all genders and help reduce abuse. http://www.dvmen.co.uk/ http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/abuse/Pages/domestic-violence-against-men.aspx http://rapecrisis.org.uk/statistics.php

At the moment, a nuclear war could hit the UK like a train wreck if we press on. We can't do this. I won't be able to see my younger brother grow up to be a handsome man, my aunties will never get married, we won't have basic things, this will even affect the animals. If we can't stop this now, it won't ever stop until we are extinct. At the moment, people are living in fear and panic due to this, this needs to end.

DEMOCRACY - Chesterfield is a key Derbyshire town& gateway to the Derbyshire Peak District. Has strong connections to neighbours NE Derbyshire and Bolsover District Councils and of course Derbyshire County Council and key player in the East Midlands. However the Leader of the CBC has promoted the town linking with Sheffiels and South Yorkshire in a major shift of allegiances in services and investment. This has/is being pushed through without full Community Engagement and the Labour controlled Council voted in favour with out Labour Councillors having a free vote. This has been a total misrepresentation of the will of the people and Parliament must step in and stop this happening. I ask all both local residents and people from the wider UK to show that Council Leaders can't just push this through without a local peoples referendum.

This EBSS will illustrate in coloured graphic form how 'ethical' the business is (similar to colour-coded nutrition labels on the front of food packaging*). The 'ethical' rating will be determined by a set of standards (similar to Shelter's 'Living Home Standard') designed to give workers fair rights: * Minimum term/secure contracts for workers * Sick pay for workers * 28 days paid holiday for workers * Minimum/living wage adherence etc. (precise standards can be agreed upon) * Health & Safety certificates * Diverse workforce Furthermore, the business will receive minus points for: * Employees hired via agencies long term * Zero hours contracts * No holiday or sick pay * Short term contracts * High-profit margins * Tax evasion * High turnover of shareholders * Off-shore headquarters * Minimal tax payments to countries which products are sold in The tally of these points will form their 'Ethical Business Rating', along with other considerations whcih can be drafted as this idea gets implemented (such as charity, profit-sharing, continued professional development, etc.). Of course there will be cases where businesses will inherently have a low 'ethical' rating, because of the short term nature of that particular business. This is an acceptable stigmatisation, and consumers will understand in these cases (just as they understand but still occasionally opt for unhealthy foods with high red nutrition warnings as a treat). The EBSS will encourage ethical business which, in turn, will be more beneficial to UK citizens as it will improve their employment standards and such their standard of living. Businessess will be stigmatised (by a hopefully discerning public) for rating low on the EBSS chart, and therefore will be encouraged to run their businesses more ethically. The desired outcome is to get Secretary of State for Business to discuss it in parliament, and perhaps even bring about the creation of legislation to make EBSS mandatory by UK law, so that UK businesses have to use the scale to apply and publish their ethical rating (according to the standards stipulated). (*as per the The Food Information Regulations 2014 & European Food Information to Consumers Regulation No 1169/2011).

Both genders should be equal. We shouldn't be showing such blatant gender discrimination to any age group, especially children. There should be equality for all genders, even within the scout and guide movement. Since 2007 girls have officially been able to join the Scout Association, a movement traditionally for boys. So why can't we have equality within both movements? It's an archaic rule that discriminates based purely on gender and has no place in the 21st century. The times are changing, and the Guide Movement needs to realise that. Some boys would feel more comfortable at a Guiding Group than at a Scout Group and it's wrong to discriminate against them. If you believe in gender equality and extending it to our youth, please sign.

There is limited support for young people, 18+, who have mental health issues in the UK. I care about this issue so much as I've seen it effect others around me and also myself. I myself benefit from CAHMS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) as it gives me a place to go and share my problems in a controlled, calm and comfortable environment. Losing this service would have a very negative impact on my life as well as others as 18 is not the age where people find closure to the problems they have experienced in their life involving mental health. 18 is when people leave school and are released into work. People become adults and that brings along with it stress, this stress is why people 18+ need CAHMS as they don't know how to cope. This can lead to suicidal thoughts and also suicidal actions. Please sign this petition and lets help young people get the support they need! You could be saving a life!

To stop the Council from ruining our area where we live as the developer British Land proposes to do. This 38 Degree petition may add new signatures to the 300 signatures we have already put together petitioning the Council to look again, we need to put together 500 signatures by December 1st 2016

Many things get accidently put down the toilet but these wipes are designed to be flushed away. However, they do not dissolve in water like paper does. They end up being removed from our sewers by the water companies. They are causing damage to the environment and causing blockages of our sewers. This damage costs thousands of pounds to clear. Only three things should go down your toilet, pee, poo and paper. Although flushable wipes will go down the toilet, the water companies then claim they block sewers and if a sewer cant be cleared, the water companies use an emergency action which can send sewerage directly into our water courses. This leads to damage to the environment. Although all these companies claim their products will disperse in water, it has been shown in tests that they do not, even after being subjected to tests which emulate 10 years in moving water.

Homelessness, as we all know, is on the rise & is likely to get worse before it gets better. This bill is aimed to make it a duty on local councils to give meaningful support to people to resolve their homelessness. It will also introduce measures to prevent people becoming homeless.
