Keeping our society fair means that people need accurate information on which to make an informed decision about the issues they care about. In the recent referendum on the EU both Leave and Remain campaigns were supported by the press in spreading disingenuous information to suit an agenda. The news media spread misinformation and outright lies instead of reporting facts. Several retractions have since been made in tiny panels tucked away where they cannot be seen without a headline. To help the news media uphold the high editorial standards which they aim to meet I think it is important that there is a cost to them for lying to the public and that retractions, apologies and correction are clear and visible. The Editors' Code of Practice can be found here: https://www.ipso.co.uk/editors-code-of-practice/ It states that "A significant inaccuracy, misleading statement or distortion must be corrected, promptly and with due prominence, and — where appropriate — an apology published. In cases involving IPSO, due prominence should be as required by the regulator." We believe that 'due prominence' should impact upon the publication to a degree that encourages due diligence. Please sign the petition if you agree.

As you may already know gala equipment charges were imposed by South Ayrshire Council as decided by Councillors at a budget meeting on 3rd March 2016. Community representatives have agreed to gather signatures on a petition asking Councillors to reverse the decision to impose gala equipment charges, and ask that this service is fully reinstated. The gala days do not make enough money to cover the costs to pay for this equipment, and many are at risk of ceasing if the support offered by South Ayrshire cannot be provided, which would have a real impact on our communities. We were invoiced over £1400 for Kirkmichael Gala Day this year. We were lucky enough to secure funding for this years event but do not have the funds for next years gala. We intend to present our petition at a Public Processes Panel meeting in the autumn, and are being supported in this process by our Councillors. We would like to gather as much support as possible, and have been advised that the best chance of getting Councillors to overturn this decision would be for all affected communities across South Ayrshire to get behind the petition to show the impact that this budget cut will have. I am going to take the petition to the village shop where everyone can sign it. Please please take the time to pop in and sign this petition for us. It is so important for the future of Kirkmichael Gala Day. We work tirelessly throughout the year to fundraise for the gala as the costs are increasing as the event becomes more popular. This added expense is one which we feel will jeopardise the future of what has just become a date families look forward to each year so please help me with our fight. I have until 1st Aug to gain as many signatures as possible. Thank you

By removing the climate change department it is essentially sending a message that says the conservative part don't care about climate change. Theresa May has selected a cabinet that could be detrimental to the environment. The conservatives, in their election promises, promised a greener government. We now have Boris Johnson, a climate change denier, Andrea Leadsom in charge of energy; who had to ask if climate change was real and a team of people just as likely to care little for the environment. Climate change matters to everyone whether left wing or right wing. It is your future, your children's future.

At the 2015 general election the results were incredibly disproportionate and demonstrated the inability of first-past-the-post to adequately or legitimately represent the diverse range of political opinion in the UK. Whatever party you support, if you care about preserving our democratic society you will agree that FPTP is a redundant system. The current government leads on a mandate of just 36% of voters, the SNP are vastly overrepresented in Scotland whilst the Greens and UKIP received just 2 MPs between them, despite receiving almost 5m votes. This creates artificial divides and doesn't reflect what people really want. It's time for our MPs in Gloucestershire to speak up for democracy and let our voices be heard in Westminster.

Its important to me get this e petition campaign to look at bring back to uk rivers and streams with support of farmers and anglers across england and uk.

This issue affects us all, our families and our futures. We ignor this at our peril. There are massive research and manufacturing opportunities in industries associated with climate change and the U.K. could still be a world leader in wave technologies and other such areas, if prioritiesed, subsidised and invested in.

This is a vital rail line which serves both residents and tourists. I am a member of Lake Townswomen's Guild and a lot of our members rely on the train to get to the mainland to visit family and for hospital visits. Neither my husband or I drive so are reliant on public transport. It is also used by commuters to the mainland.

We understand that £25 is a fee that better enables the Party to cover its costs. However, the scale of the increase paired with the unexpectedly short deadline has inadvertently closed this option for the least fortunate in our society, whom the Labour Party exists to defend. An extension until 8 August gives: - People an additional two weeks in which to save the money - Assurance that those receiving Jobseekers' Allowance or other statuary benefits will have received at least one payment before the deadline - An increased likelihood that those on a contract of unfixed hours will have had undertaken paid work before the deadline - The ability for people to wait until after the end of the month, a common payday throughout the UK - More time to adjust personal budgets to better account for the expense We call on the Labour Party to assist with minimising the impact of poverty on this democratic process whilst still ensuring it is in a position to cover the costs of running the Registered Supporter scheme.

I have a daughter with special needs due to a bailiff banging my door with there threats she is now scared and crys when someone knocks the door its not fair on her she's only 6yrs old

Solicitors are "encouraging" motorists to falsely claim for personal injury thus increasing motor insurance policies. Having informed my insurance company I was NOT injured in an accident, to-date I have received calls from four different solicitors "encouraging" me to falsely claim for personal injury. A week after the accident the other driver involved in the accident angrily stopped me and said he had been contacted by a solicitor who told him I had made a personal injury claim and he should do the same thing.

This is important due to it happening on his first visit after the BREXIT and is a sign of which way the government will go in the future. It should not become acceptable that the government applies arbitrary decisions in this great country of law and freedom. Today they start with gays from not white men country's, tomorrow we don't want to imagine how far this government will go.

It harms the lives of thousands of girls everyday and I believe that by banning pages and videos like this, lives will be saved.
