• Tesco - pay for the misery you have caused
    Tesco have been caught out and then admitted to delaying payments to suppliers to improve its own financial position. Despite bringing financial misery to the owners, the threat of bankruptcy and job losses to some of their smaller suppliers, Tesco's have not offered them any direct apologies, financial recompense and to top it all, they also have avoided any fines by the Grocery Code Adjudicator. Whilst recognising that Tesco claims to have changed these unfair practises towards suppliers they have done nothing in attempting to make good the damage they have done.

  • KEEP THE NHS FREE AT THE POINT OF DELIVERY
    The NHS has always been free at the point of delivery - that's one of the principles on which it was created (see: fatpod.org). Millions of ordinary people rely on this principle. I was lucky enough to know my great-grandmother, who raised her family of 5 before the NHS existed. She told me of family meetings, when someone was ill, to decide which meals would be skipped in order to be able to pay for them to see a doctor. We cannot allow government to re-create a "pre-NHS" society by charging directly for NHS services or demanding private insurance policies for healthcare (which would only benefit insurance companies). We already have insurance for free-at-the-point-of-delivery healthcare - it's called National Insurance (NI), to which we all contribute when we can. Individuals should not be penalised financially for being ill and needing NHS services. The website fatpod.org is dedicated to keeping the National Health Service "FATPOD" - Free At The Point Of Delivery. You can find more information there.

  • Please make well-being part of our national curriculum
    Our children are becoming increasingly unwell physically, mentally and emotionally and are in dire need of adequate education in this area. If we want to prosper as a nation, we have to make learning about personal, social and environmental well-being as important as learning to read and write. Only healthy people can create a healthy nation and our children are the leaders and positive change-makers of tomorrow.

  • European Parliament not Brussels
    The language appeals to xenophobes and irrational nationalists. The city of Brussels is itself not politically involved. The BBC should set the standard and not seek to inflame opinion by giving the false impression that another country is passing laws above our own. They are passed by something we are members of which seeks to establish common democratic standards. This is not a minor grammatical mistake, it is part of a systematic bias, a poor habit and poor journalism.

  • legal aid for child cases
    This is so important.. how can a child custody case be judged honesty and truthfully if one or both parents cannot afford representation. .. it means that the parent who CAN afford a lawyer has an advantage over the other, as he or she will not know the law as well as a lawyer. This means that the child's welfare is NOT being judged fairly

  • Mobile Phone Unlocking : Stop network providers from thwarting your network transfer
    Customers are buying mobile phones which are usually locked to a network only to find they are not enabled to transfer to another network in a timely manner. It is bad enough that a fee should be charged for the transfer, but to not allow the transfer in a timely manner of say 3 days and exacerbating the situation for a month or more is ridicuous and a problematic vexation to the consumer and is certainly not necessary. Case in point: I purchased an £80 mobile from ASDA as Vodafone pay as you go for my son. My son used the mobile for 6 months. I was offered by Virgin a good deal on extra mobile numbers on my account and so agreed and pay for the service for my son. I called Vodafone and explained the situation and they gave me a PUK code to transfer the number, which I have used and received the new SIM card from Virgin. On putting the new SIM card in the mobile I discovered that the mobile was locked to vodafone and so I called them.Vodafone had not informed me that I would need to pay £19.99 to unlock the network and told me that since I had ported the number I would now need to purchase a new Vodafone SIM and put £20 credit on it to pay for the unlocking. I purchased the new SIM and put £20 credit on it and called Vodafone again only to discover that I would need to use the credit and the Vodafone SIM for a month before they would even allow me to transfer the mobile to another network. We the customer are being treated abysmally by these network providers and OFCOM the government body put in place to protect the consumer and who are funded by the tax payer, have done little to prevent this malpractice. Let's make the world a better place and remove this vexation by getting fair legislation in place and regulated by OFCOM

  • NO TO FOOD BANKS
    14th-18th Dec 2015: over 350 individuals came to Loaves and Fishes Charity in East Kilbride for food for their family. They were desperate - mothers crying because they had nothing for their children to eat. Some were walking 3-4 miles with children in the rain. If it's happening in E.K. then it's happening in other areas. We get constant cries for help from social work & welfare depts because they can't help them. Their only crime is being poor. At least during World War 2 our mothers payed for their food. 2016 they come to food banks because they have no money

  • Take Stockport's homeless crisis more seriously.
    In 2013 the homeless population in Stockport was around 124; a year later this increased rapidly and as of 2014 there are now over 340 (according to Manchester evening news). Homelessness can happen to anyone; it is important that in hard times such as these that we remember those which are less fortunate than ourselves. We need to remember that there are 340+ people, in our own town, who may be going without a warm meal or a safe place to spend the night. Imagine spending a night in an ally way, an underpass or even a cave... Maybe you wouldn't mind for a night but a month? A year? This is the harsh reality that people have to deal with. Currently there are charities in Stockport that aim to help the homeless, however these depend solely on public donations. The sad truth is that this is simply not enough... This is where this campaign comes in, if together we can get enough votes to raise awareness of this issue perhaps we may be able to get government funding for some of these charities.
