School meals are very important for pupils health and it has been proven that students who eat school meals they produce more work and they are more focused. It has also been proven that Scotland is better at education than England and they are higher in the score table because they do have free school meals.

This is important because I am a counsellor specialising in working with young offenders. I have found that 75% of my clients are either diagnosed ADHD but not medicated or completely undiagnosed but showing strong traits of ADHD. When I have recommended people to seek professional assessment every single one has been diagnosed ADHD. This is shocking.

There is huge pressure on Britain to create new homes/ infrastructure for it's people. Affordable homes for ordinary people have never been so hard to acquire. When these homes are (and must be) built- consideration must also be given to the displaced wildlife/ plant life. Green belt - which supports much wildlife in pressurised areas is greatly at risk of development, but wherever intensive developments are, humans are not the only creatures requiring accommodation! Many people would be less antagonistic to new builds if they thought these issues were integral to the building industry machine. We need only think about bees to see how compromising the existence of seemingly minor creatures can jeopardise the balance of the whole. An imaginative approach is needed; green corridors, non sealed gardens to allow wildlife traffic, eaves that are able to be utilised for nesting/ swift and bat bricks, hedging etc. Older large housing estates like the one I used to live in in S Gloucestershire allowed breathing space and a pleasant environment for walking/ cycling with plenty of open green areas with hedges and trees supporting many birds. Despite relatively high density population the dawn chorus was stunning! More recent schemes (particularly in the lower socioeconomic areas - of course appear devoid of these essential components of harmonious existence - for man and beast. Please sign this petition to galvanise the minister responsible to 'encourage' the building/ housing industry to boldly have the courage to do things differently. Perhaps they would be pleasantly surprised that the public were not so hostile towards their schemes!

Britain in 2016 should not be occupying other peoples countries.

To reduce pollution levels in Inner London.

The removal of this service will cause more flytipping. Alternative site is 11 miles away putting more traffic on already overstretched road network. Many users of site are elderly, they will not want to drive that distance, also the mobile tip on a friday keeps them gardening and socialising

Enactment of such a bill runs counter to the commitment by the current government to the active preservation and enrichment of our diverse historic environment, as it will arguably severely undermine already denuded curatorial provision within the current planning system, on a local and national level. At its worst, the bill will ultimately sacrifice our joint historical and ecological resources in the name of short term profit and speculative economic stimulus, encouraging large scale development without adequately making provision for assessment of the presence of, and likely impact upon, known, as well as currently unknown, archaeological and ecological resources to hand. This can, and almost certainly will, lead to the wholesale destruction of important archaeological and ecological resources, with no regard to the potential benefit they offer to the wider academic and communal knowledge base relating to our shared historic environment, not to mention the long term economic potential such resources may offer to the nation as a whole and local communities alike. On the contrary, in most cases, this will undeniably result in their absolute and irrevocable destruction, to the detriment of all.

The old West Ham ground is set to become 800 luxury flats. We are being told that they will be affordable but "affordable" housing never actually is in anyone's budget but the rich. Upton Park is already hugely overcrowded with services pushed to breaking point. The West Ham site being reinvented is a great chance for the council to build more services for local people and take some pressure off of existing ones. One measly community centre being built on the site is not good enough when 800 more families will be moving in to the site.

The new systems which are being developed and beginning to appear are all more costly to produce than conventional internal combustion engines. The new liquid air engine is much more compact and actually cheaper to produce than piston engines of equivalent power. Climate change is now a race against time. Expensive substitutes will not win the race. Only a low cost zero carbon solution stands a chance of winning. All it needs is limited financial support

To bring some life to a dated and tired High Street

George V Park is the only public park in the New Town area. It is an oasis of greenness, nature and tranquility in the heart of the city. Now RBS is selling its office on Dundas Street/Eyre Place for redevelopment into residential blocks and retail units. On paper this is a good thing. More people should have the chance to live, work and play in our neighbourhood. However in their current form the plans for the site are awful. Some of the proposed blocks are 8 stories tall, dwarfing anything else nearby. They will plunge George V Park and surrounding streets into the shade forever. A proposed access road will run dangerously close to where children play. Trees and green space will be lost. The original plans looked promising. But they've changed. For the worse. George V Park isn't big. It isn't even especially beautiful. But it's a wonderful, unique space where people of all ages can relax, breathe and play. And it's all we've got. Over the years so much work has been done to nurture and protect this place. Don't let it be ruined for a short-term profit. The Dundas Street site will, and should, be developed. But that must be balanced with the need to protect what makes the area worth living in in the first place. Recent development elsewhere in Edinburgh show just how badly things can go wrong. But they also show how effective people power can be. With your help we can make sure that this development is in the best interests of residents, both present and future. Please sign our petition and help make sure that Edinburgh Council does not approve these plans in their current form. Thank you.

BBC is supposed to be impartial and to choose not to broadcast this part of Eurovision, which covers refugees is highly questionable, could be seen as politically motivated or even worse censorship.
