Jo Swinson MP is well aware that the pending new EU trade deal with the USA (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership TTIP) could make existing privatisations of the NHS, and all that follows them, irreversible. All Cameron has to do is to threaten to use his veto by ensuring all mention of Health is removed from the treaty. We want Lib Dem MPs to insist he does it. Jo Swinson can help stop the Privatisation of the NHS and make sure it stays in our control, not the control of American multinationals. She should write to Cameron without delay. Because TTIP is negotiated between the coalition government at Westminster and the EU, it could have an effect on Scotland's healthcare services too, even though our NHS is devolved. The coalition government are putting the NHS in Scotland at risk too. Under this TTIP Agreement, our elected Government would not be able to bring NHS services back into public ownership regardless of circumstances. This is because TTIP will include legal arrangements whereby multinational Health corporations can sue Governments for loss of profits. TTIP Negotiations are taking place right now, and neither the European Union or the Con / Lib Government can give assurances that the NHS is safe or not. David Cameron can clear up all this confusion and protect the NHS.

For too long the political views of young people in the United Kingdom have been swept aside, not only by the so called 'major parties' but also by the mainstream British Media. Recent polls show that the Green Party of England and Wales, in the run up to the 2015 General Election, are polling at the same level as the Liberal Democrats who are themselves considered one of the major parties. To add insult to injury OFCOM have decided to upgrade the status of UKIP to major party, giving them more television time, more radio time and more opportunity. Quite frankly the decision taken by OFCOM to not grant 'Major Party' status to the Green Party is symbolic of two things. The first, that they are stuck in the past, unwilling to listen to the views of young people, not dissimilar to the current government. Secondly, that OFCOM as an organisation are more worried about viewing rates, and consider the controversial politics of UKIP to be better for viewing statistics. Both of these facts are unavoidable and unacceptable and we would call upon the UK OFCOM to reconsider its decision and upgrade The Green Party of England and Wales to Major Party status for the 2015 General Election.

Caewyd y rheilffyrdd yma yn y 1960au gan ynysu ardaloedd helaeth o Gymru. Mae angen eu ailagor i ailfywiogi'r ardaloedd maent yn rhedeg trwodd. Byddai eu hailagor yn helpu pobl leol i gymudo, yn hwyluso mynediad i wasanaethau iechyd, siopa ayyb, ac yn helpu myfyrwyr i fynychu prifysgolion yng Nghaerfyrddin, Llanbedr Pont Steffan, Aberystwyth a Bangor. Fe fyddai’n hwb i dwristiaeth yn yr ardal, ac yn lleihau'r nifer o gerbydau nwyddau trymion (megis pren, cynnyrch archfarchnad ayyb) o’r ffyrdd cul i’r rheilffordd, sy’n fwy diogel a chynaliadwy. These lines were closed in the mid 1960's and have left these areas of Wales very isolated. They need to be reopened to reinvigorate the areas they pass through. The reopening would help local people with commuting, access health services, shopping, improve access to the universities served by the lines in Carmarthen, Lampeter, Aberystwyth and Bangor. New lines will also boost tourism in the area and enable much of the heavy commercial traffic (timber, supermarket goods etc.) to be shifted from narrow roads to rail, which is much safer and more sustainable.

Anyone using a British companies services has the right to have their data provided in the mother-tongue with regards to convention of dates. This sounds Techy and maybe not so important however, it can and does affect people and companies finances. Here is what I am going on about........6/1/2015 is and always should be 6th January 2015 if you are using a British business or companies services. It is NOT 1st June 2015 which is what some other countries use/cultures. This ignorance of locale can and does cause major financial errors, confusion and disruption. The compromise version is the month being written in words EG: 06/Jun/15 or Jun/06/2015. I don't think is good enough. As Boris says, if you go to Rome, you will be expected to at least fit-in, at most integrate. When I downloaded some major banks statements last year, the dates were in US convention not British (English). This bank is a major very old institution. I read the dates correctly but they were in US convention and lead to issues. This is also cultural erosion. It is not acceptable to have this change unmanaged. If you have been affected by reading a date incorrectly that has had major impact on your life or your family please get behind this campiagn and let's start at the top. I have already discussed it with the Banking Ombudsman but it was pushed aside. This is NOT a 'non-issue'. It is as much about 'stealth-change' and NOT involving or asking opinion of the 'average Jo' as much as being a flaw. I have gone on enough now!, please have a serious think about joining this campaign and let's try and reduce cultural erosion and enforce Technical locale conventions. Thank you!

They were fighting (peacefully) for our freedom and showed greater courage than the rest of us. The least we can do is now is support them by recognising their bravery.

He has failed in his role as Health Secretary and needs to acknowledge his failure.

We are living in the shadow of 4 historic landfill sites. And are currently in danger of being developed due to the core strategy for housing in Amber Valley Derbyshire. We currently have a live planning application for 200 new homes on top of a landfill site and a potential 700 more within 800 metres help our plight.... This is important for the future health of people in the area.

Colourblindness is a disability that affects one in eight men (and about 1% of women). Football bulletin boards on the Internet have recently been awash with comments by people unable to follow the FA cup because the ball disappears from view when played on green grass, especially in distance shots. This is particularly bad for those suffering from Deuteranopia (in which the green retinal photoreceptors are absent). The FA makes millions from its fans (a recent £425m from TV alone). The FA is committed to inclusion and to equal opportunities, so the decision to use a ball which causes problems for so many of its customers seems at odds. It is not just the viewing public who suffer from colour blindness. You may recall (http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/nov/07/chris-rogers-pink-ball-colour-blind) that Australian cricketer Chris Rogers recently had to withdraw from a match that was to trial a pink cricket ball. (Also see http://www.colourblindawareness.org/colour-blindness/living-with-colour-vision-deficiency/sport/ for examples of how a colourblind individual would visualise pink on green). Obviously, it's not just about the spectators. Players can be colourblind as well, though most try to keep quiet about it until after their professional career, for obvious reasons (distinguishing between red and green shirts can be a challenge also!). Which is why only recently we discovered, for example, that Ipswich, Charlton and Republic of Ireland legend Matt Holland was colourblind. In Brazil, for instance, goalkeeper Castilho was colourblind, as were two players of the 2000 Brasilian Olympic football team. Pelé also famously had visual impairments rumoured to be colourblindness that almost kept him out of La Seleção. We should reserve pink, orange or "mango" balls for when the playing surface is snowy. Otherwise, there is no logical reason for using them, other than to promote sales of them which will, in turn, make grassroots football even harder for those with visual impairments such as colourblindness. Enough is enough!

This is across the UK, but our campaign is aimed at Wales. If we group together and help each other, we can have a greater influence, so please support our local campaign and if we can help with yours please do get in touch. Fences are cut and pulled up, gates are left open, animals are let loose, paths and tracks are left impassable, knee high in mud, quagmires, paths rutted and washed away because the surface has been loosened by the heavy and constant abuse of vehicles; A constant stream of vehicles, where once there was peace with only the odd farmer off to check on his livestock, or person walking their dog, or just out with the family. People of all ages are intimidated while trying to stop trespass on their own land, surrounded by circling motor bikes or vulgar shouts from abusive 4 x 4 owners. SSSI (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) are also being abused, where is the support from the Countryside Council for Wales to enforce the protection of their Sites? Police are too slow to turn up and provide little support to stop these law breakers. What is the point in passing the trespass law or designate SSSI sites, if there are no Councillors, Countryside Council or Police representatives who will help enforce legislation. This is across the Wales, so if we group together and help each other we can have a greater influence, so please support our local campaign and if we can help with yours please do get in touch. Currently our group is in the Llangollen / Denbighshire / Wrexham area and we desperately need your support to lobby the Local Council , Countryside Council and Police to help us in our campaign . We have a Facebook page, please join / like it and also sign the campaign. https://www.facebook.com/Saveourpathsllangollen

Homelessness can be fatal. To London as a city as well as people like Kinga (who was Kinga ? - see below). Never mind cup-cake shops, London needs pop-up tenancies. Far from a social scourge, squatting of empty commercial and publicly-owned residential property was a dynamic and beneficial element of London's housing ecology for many years. It enabled young people to live cheaply in the capital, kept premises from dereliction and drove the regeneration of much of London. In particular, it directly enabled the growth of the arts and cultural sector of which London is now supposedly so proud. It was the start of the rehabilitation - and gentrification - of Islington, Camden, Notting Hill and Brixton to name just four examples.. Recent anti-squatting legislation inspired by a few sensationalist instances citing 'rogue migrant' activity - and the emergence of opportunistic, privately owned so-called Guardianship scams (which charge high rents and offer no security or rights whatsoever) has: destroyed an age-old counterbalance to the unassailable right of property owners to allow good property to lie empty, completely destroyed our city's ability to support innovative communal group living on any scale, enabled uncontrollable inflation of rented living space, encouraged profiteering by wholly unsuitable buy-to-let landlords driven young people out of London or onto the streets. Short-life housing schemes were once common in London, run by local authority housing departments and Social Landlords (housing associations), these schemes brought homeless people and empty property together within a simple legal framework that recognised squatters rights for an agreed period of years in exchange for the basic maintenance of property by occupants. Many of the housing associations operated as co-ops set up by squatters themselves. Now that Housing Associations have developed to be social landlord property owners themselves, with fully fledged legal capacity, such schemes would be easier to operate now than before. It is ironic that such a simple idea, needed now as never before, has been so lightly let go. Squatting saved 70's London. Breathing new life into run-down areas, enabling arts business start-ups, allowing people to live together in ways other than single living, coupledom or three/four people sharing a huge rent in exchange for a shelf in a fridge. London needs squatting back; for housing, for experimental living, for affordable lifestyles for those putting vocation above income. Without it our city is hollowing out as developers take control and young people leave. Without squatting, London would not be the vibrant place it has grown to be, but may not be for much longer. Squatting saved London. And it saved many Londoners.( It certainly saved me. I was a squatter in the 70's for 8 years.) And it would have saved Kinga. Kinga was a 22 year old law student we (staff of The Cockpit Theatre in Marylebone) found sleeping, blue with cold, in the carpark next door just before Christmas. She died the following day after returning to the streets for her last night hoping to be picked up by a homeless charity. Drugs and relationship breakdown were part of her story, but basically she had just fallen through all the cracks - just as any of us could. All of us who met her know the key element in her tragedy was having no roof of her own.

Ched Evans continued attempts to sign for any club prepared to have him are bringing the game of football into disrepute. Evans is a convicted rapist who has shown no remorse and refused to acknowledge his guilt. Footballers whether rightly or wrongly are viewed as a role models especially by their younger fans. Evans is a convicted rapist who has not served his full sentence he has only been released on licence, and is on the sex offenders register. Most football clubs run community projects and Evans due to his conviction cannot have any dealings with children and would not be able to take part in any such projects. His registration to play professional football should be cancelled with immediate effect. Once his appeal has been heard and if it is successful that will be a different matter and his situation could be reviewed then.
