• personal independent payment
    Just think the government and Department of Work and Pensions need to know what they are doing to genuine disabled people feel as though we are being tied with the con artist and fiddlers of the system. He dosen't want to be disabled, he has worked but now I have to come to terms he can't. And the people who interview you are not medical nurses doctors or anything of the sort they as questions tick boxes. Hows that getting a true picture - it's affecting families financially causing stress, making people more ill than they were before and they don't care

  • Enforce the No Parking rules
    I personally have recently become Disabled, I can only walk a short distance (with walking sticks). I have to transport a Electric Wheelchair to enable getting anywhere. On numerous occasions my Wife (Carer) has to drive around Car Parks looking for somewhere to park where there is sufficient room to allow me to get out of car and my Wife to unload my Chair. Normally there are many cars in Disability Bays that do not Display a Blue Badge! When they return to their car it is often wise to say nothing as the verbal abuse you receive is intimidating.

  • Were people denied votes in the 2015 UK General Election?
    This is important because the UK is currently ruled by a Conservative government who are in power by the slimmest of margins. If all the people who were denied a postal vote had voted, would the outcome be different? Would the UK not now be suffering from the effects of austerity, the threat of fracking, the withdrawal of welfare and services to the needy and the tripling of the national debt? If the UK is a truly democratic country, I think this needs to be investigated.

  • Save Design and Technology at Nottingham Trent Uni
    Design and Technology is a subject that is particularly struggling to find teachers. There are only two universities in England that run an undergraduate course for trainee D&T teachers but now NTU want to bring that down to one. If that happens then the amount of people applying for teacher training will reduce. The university seem to think that those who apply at NTU will just transfer their application to the remaining university course. This is simply not the case. There are 4 people on the course currently who are there because of the location and reputation and would not have been in a position to just go somewhere else. The course is also an award winning course with 2 of the lecturers achieving teacher trainer of the year in 2014 & 2015 as well as another lecturer being nominated for a commendation this year. Design and Technology is still a requirement on the national curriculum at Key Stage 3 but not further on. Without the training for teachers the runs the risk of the subject being taught inefficiently and then possibly disappearing altogether in the future. If the subject isn't being carried on beyond Key Stage 3 it runs the risk of having a knock-on effect on product design, engineering, furniture design and fashion (just to mention only a few). I'm a mature student who put their personal life on hold and quit a good full time job in order to go and train. I didn't have another way of getting in to teaching as I had already attempted university study a different way. Being settled where I am having a university close was a wonderful thing. There are people in similar positions as me and by closing the course they're taking that opportunity away. Please help us save the course and in turn save the future of Design and Technology.

  • Bring Back Spitting Image - The time is ripe for Political Satire
    Politics in the UK, EU and across the world has never been more important, nor has the need to satirise it. Currently MSM fails to question our politicians in a way that resonates. Maybe our news and current affairs programmes have always been that way, but TV programming hasn't. Spitting Image was the attack dog of the MSM in the 80's. It didn't matter who you were, if you were a public figure, it would tackle you, it would bring you to the ground, it would openly challenge you and it would mock you. But always in a humorous way. Yes it was offensive, but more importantly it was truthful, accurate and downright side splittingly funny. We need this now more than ever.

  • Lower the speed limit in Woodstock Lane South, Esher, Chessington/ Kingston By-pass
    The reason for the dangers of the residents and local people is because there is no footpath. Also many dogs, cats and even horse have been injured or killed down this small road. Many people come of the motorway at 50 mph.

  • Hands Free Dorset
    I believe that restraining techniques are being overused by teachers and staff in schools and academies that claim to be places of learning for children and teenagers with BESD (Behavioural, emotional and social difficulties) too many schools are using restraining practices as a lazy way of getting what they want, leaving the children they restrain mentally and sometimes physically scarred and completely turned off to education with no recourse for the child or parents to take. This campaign is for schools and academies that are using restraint techniques to have to report by law to an independent body within the Local Education Authority, so each case is investigated and reoffending schools, academies, Teachers and/or individual Staff members are stopped from using restraint techniques when unjustifiable and prosecuted for assault of a child in their care. This campaign is to gather signatures of support so that the MP’s in Dorset, Bournemouth and Poole recognise the issue raised by this campaign and take action in Dorset for all Schools and Academies to become Hands-Free places of learning.

  • Implement an Ethical Foreign Policy
    UK's foreign policy is the root cause of injustice that in return has contributed to nurturing extremism, terrorism, wars and massive human casualties. It is the reason why there's a migration crisis that is further dividing people rather than growing harmony. The UK discriminates Nations and Humans based on its national interests. For example, the UK doesn't see Saudi Arabia as a Regime, even though it sees Syria and Russia or any other nation that doesn't full fill its national interests as Regimes.

  • End HMRC's Freedom of Information loophole
    Almost all public bodies are required to release information about companies under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, but there is a special exception ('loophole') that means HMRC does not have to do so. The loophole is contained in Sections 18 & 23 of the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005. This exception means that HMRC does not have to (and cannot) release information about corporate tax payers even when it can be shown that the public interest is harmed by non-disclosure. In fact, HMRC would not have to release information it holds even in cases where corporations have acted illegally or knowingly misled the British public about the tax they pay. Whilst we accept that private individuals have a right to privacy, we fail to see why this right extends to the tax affairs of multinationals and other large corporates.
