BLOCK CAMERON'S HONOURS LISTHis final and lasting recommendations (including an award for his wife's stylist!) reek of croneyism and will only serve to diminish any reverence for, or belief in, the Honours System. It is time for a thorough review of the rules and practices governing these matters.109 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Timothy Donovan

George Osborne does not deserve to be awarded the Companion of HonorGeorge Osborne developed and implemented one of the most devastating economic policies in modern history. Not only was the programme a disaster for the poorest Britons, his "austerity" economic policy was based on a lie. The policies he developed could not be supported by any sound economic theories and time and time again these policies were proven to be a disaster for the poorest people in the UK. The economic research used to push forward his programme was proven to be false as early as 2010. As a direct result millions of people in the UK were forced into a volunteer work scheme where they were forced to work up to 30 hours a week for free. This allowed large companies to benefit from free labour and increase their profits. The scheme collapsed after six months due to the public outcry. When Osborne became chancellor of the exchequer there were just over 61,000 people in the UK using food banks. After 6 years of his disastrous austerity programme there are now over a million Britons who rely on food banks to survive. The "bedroom tax" and other cuts to benefits lead to an increase in poverty amongst disabled people and the austerity measures undoubtedly had a bigger impact on women and the poorest of households. The austerity programme was hastily abandoned by Theresa May's government but the disastrous impacts will be seen for decades to come. The austerity programme implemented by Osborne pushed more Britons into poverty. Osborne should not receive any awards for making millions of people worse off.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Samantha English

#SaveTheBirdsThis is an injustice towards a charity which works at preserving life and caring for the well being of our environment. Also, large companies like this shouldn't be allowed to control peoples lands and charge such ridiculous amounts.273 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Fahad Khawaja

Close Bookies DownIt is important because if the bookies were closed down or there was no bookies at all the people that lose money on fruit machines, horse betting etc would have that money in their pocket. Instead of thinking that they can use the last pounds that they may have in their pockets to be taken by a machine.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ardit Hasa

Solidarity with Nottinghamshire homelessNottinghamshire council and the police should be offering practical and emotional support to the most vulnerable to help get them back on their feet. Even if someone does have an addiction they should still be given 100 % support as it is an illness and should be treated as such, getting them the right help needed rather than isolating them further.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kelly Cox

Pay National Living Wage To Those Over 18yearsDo I really need to explain why this is important? I thought that would be obvious. Inequality, exploitation, discrimination are just 3 reasons. Maybe an incentive too?7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lee Dobson

End 'red cards' for punishing homelessnessClaims that being on the streets is 'anti-social' have nothing to do with the brutal reality of those ending up there or giving them somewhere to live and is simply an attempt to socially cleanse those hardest hit by the housing crisis from sight: this callous and stupid policy must be dropped as soon as possible.44 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christian Garland

SheforHerFGM is the deliberate mutilation of female genitalia. This is often the removal or cutting of the labia and clitoris. The World Health Organization describes FGM as any procedure that injures the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. FGM has no health benefits and is in fact very harmful to health in many ways. Even if carried out by a healthcare professional or if it takes place outside the UK. It is a form of gender-based violence, it is a human rights violation and it is a form of child abuse. FGM is damaging.The lives of women and girls can be ruined by FGM. It causes physical and mental health problems which can go on for all of their lives. It is also extremely distressing and damages women's relationships and how they feel about themselves. FGM does not need to happen. No one should be forced to have FGM and the law should protect women and girls who are at risk.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Raleena Anas

Call for a directly-elected President of the EurozoneThis will provide the democratic legitimacy for firm political leadership and direction in order to turn round a failing economic system (see chart) in the Eurozone. With the UK no longer in a position to stop 'ever closer union' but (together with other non-Eurozone countries) wishing to see a strong and stable Eurozone, now is the time to take this initiative before other separatist movements can cause EU disintegration.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gavin Oldham

Restrict commercial use of DronesA very small but vocal lobby is pushing another 'innovation' of questionable value through the legislative system. Citizens must be allowed to have the final say on drone use as the air above our heads should not become a playground for the few and be a threat to our health and safety.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Heinz Geyer

Save allotments green space:tonight 26th July to be destroyed for a car parkAllotments are the key to local sustainability they provide food and produce for the community, much needed activity and socialisation for local people , they support the environment for providing a home for urban insects birds and animals ,and are an oasis in our sprawling concrete of green fertile ground . The local government are attempting at the last minute to rail road through plans to commandeer the allotment land to make way for a car park for the station. In the constituency of Theresa May ! I am not against providing facilities for the station as it encourages use of our railways however this needs great debate and cannot just be pushed through the back Door , to destroy part of our environment and heritage and community without first consulting the local community. The parish council meeting is tonight 26th July . Please sign my petition This is important for our environment and our children's futures.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lizzie Cox
