It is important as people with learning disabilities are needing to feel that they are equal as humans and not made to feel worthless

Since 2012 pet abandonment has been on the increase, according to just one survey reported by The Dogs Trust it is estimated that, with dogs alone, in 2015 over 47,000 owners have abandoned their dogs in the past twelve months (according to the annual Stray Dog Survey by Dogs Trust, the UK’s largest dog welfare charity) Dogs Trust questioned all local authorities across the UK as part of the annual Stray Dog Survey and 2015 findings reveal that 47,596 dogs were left behind in council pounds, where they remained unclaimed by their owners. Of which it is known an unnecessary 5,142 healthy dogs were euthanised between 2014-2015 EQUAL TO 1 DOG EVERY 2 HOURS (this does not include dogs who didn't pass through the local authority, or cats, or other pets that are also abandoned and there is either no home found or basically no one wants them or can cope with more pets or pets who's owners request euthanasia http://www.telegraph.co.uk/pets/news-features/a-vets-most-difficult-task-euthanising-healthy-pets/ ). Domestic pets are all our responsibility as sentient creatures. With better, slightly clearer and robust legislation and higher taxation and compulsory prison sentences it's been shown that the number of abandoned dogs (in particular) but other animals too can be reduced. We must do everything we can to reduce the massive number of unwanted pets. (Estimate are for every 1 person born 45 animals are)

Without them the world would be a better place.

I would like to petition the UK Department for Education to support the launch of a recent global education platform known as PEER. As one who is working closely with refugees and their children, I would like to wholeheartedly support the launch of this platform called Platform for Education in Emergencies Response. Working together hand in hand with the IIE (Institute of International Education) in New York, PEER aims to connect refugee students with university scholarships, resources and other higher education opportunities that they deserve without having a need to buy a diploma just to further their studies. A brainchild of the Catalyst Trust for Universal Education, PEER is fast gaining support from various parties. Former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has been in discussion with the UN to better understand the emergency needs of 57 million refugee schoolchildren and youths who are on the verge of attending University without the intention to buy a diploma. The ongoing refugee crisis is something these children can do without, and if there is anything to alleviate their condition without exacerbating the situation, this global education platform would be it. In Syria alone, as many as 150,000 youths who are on the brink of university life have had their progress disrupted by war and persecution. That's 150,000 young impressionable lives stuck without higher education. Without the need to buy a diploma, refugee students can expect to benefit from the platform dispensing university scholarships and placement, translation services, higher learning resources and support or counselling. Therefore, I hope the UK Department for Education would consider backing this platform and to spread word about it helping refugee students. Thank you for lending me your ears. Brook Arnold

People are having their lives wrecked simply because they've either had their mobile phone stolen or cloned or they've been tricked into calling a fraudulent number. The telecom companies are quite happy to pay the insane call charges to criminal gangs because they then charge their customers for the cost of the call.

To save a generation from the onslaught and horrors of , amongst others , Western intervention in Syria.They dont need to see war.All children deserve a childhood without fear. Imagine your child sat in the rubble of your own home..unable to sleep at night due to the sounds of war. Would you walk past these children in your own street?

Disability and especially persons in wheel chairs need access more convenient to local shops. A disabled person driving with a blue Badge has difficulty finding places to Park and Surrey County Council action in Removing High street disabled Parking Bays is immoral. Our friends had driven down from London to Cobham ---could not find a disabled bay for Parking in Cobham -high street.

Children walking to school are at such high risk of an accident a fatality is waiting to happen due to the SPEED Already we have had cars ( one car on its roof passenger trapped inside)

While people are struggling to pay bills and buy food in these day of austerity it is offensive to see companies like these wasting good food

Because so much information is (other than on food labels) is printed in size 6 and even size 5 point and is impossible for most people to read and understand. The elimination of ridiculously small print will allow he public to be properly informed.

When you buy a second hand vehicle you have no way of knowing whether the "registered keeper" is legally entitled to sell the vehicle. If you buy it and the "legal owner" disputes the sale you would have to give it back to the legal owner and lose your money paid. This would also stop the taking back of vehicles bought as "gifts" by the legal owner and given to the registered keeper. This has happened to my son, his dad bought him a car, and registered my son as the "registered keeper". They then fell out and the dad transferred the car into his own name as the "registered keeper", claiming that he was the "legal owner", then sold the car. Unbelievably, the dvla say this is allowed. The V5C document requesting the transfer was not signed by my son (the registered keeper) even though the document states that the registered keeper "must" sign. Apparently, the V5C wasn't signed at all! This isn't "fair" so by changing the V5C, prospective buyers and registered keepers will know where they stand as far as "ownership" is concerned.

For several reasons, I find this is important. Look around you, streets, parks, fields coast lines... all littered with empty and left behind bottles of any shape, size and form. The environment suffers, the costs to clean up the litter is a burden to the local councils, so it effects us all, because the extra costs reflect in our council tax. It would be an incentive for people of all ages and backgrounds, to be more environmentally conscious. Other countries, like Germany, have had this scheme for years, and even extended it to drinking cans. The UK should follow suit. Please sign the petition, if you agree.
