Those elected and funded by tax payers to represent the electorate must do so without any corruption and corporate interest. The whole topic of money in politics needs to be transparent and serve the good of the general public.

Because as Prime Minister he shouldn`t be allowed to get away with it !!

To refuse us this right is to force us to compromise our own beliefs. The elected government should not have the right to force individuals to contribute towards actions that will inevitably lead to the deaths of others, especially when a proportion of those deaths, however small you may personally believe them to be, are likely to include innocents

Innocent civilians , children , women , and men , just like ourselves , will be killed . It will cause chaos , and destruction , as it did in Iraq , Afghanistan , and Libya . " Only love can conquer hate " ( Marvin Gaye )

An increasing number of pensioners are dying because of lack of funding from the Government

People in the UK should be in no doubt that all of our elected representatives, in Parliament, can be trusted not to sympathise with Terrorism. If Our Prime Minister does not believe this he should say why, or apologise for making the comments attributed to him.

In a democracy people should be entitled to hold different opinions of committing this Country to War without fear of being labelled as sympathetic to the abhorrent actions of terrorists.

We are far to dependant on the banks. If you were unable to get a bank account life would be ormost impossible Consider paying bills . receiving your salary . getting a rental property. The effects are far reaching . The banks charge what ever they want and increase charges when ever they want . You have to have a min monthly earning either £500 or £1000 or they will not give you an account. Looks like the banks run the UK not the Gov.

Hedgehogs are a protected species and many of the birds are declining species in the UK. The allotments are a vitally important wildlife sanctuary.

The football world has reacted sadly to the news that Gary Neville will be taking over at Valencia, vacating his place on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football. His insight will be missed. There is only one man who can replace Gary and unite the nation. That man is Tim Sherwood. With his unique mix of cutting edge insight, banter, sartorial elegence and second to none punditry, Tim is who we want. Nay, Tim is who we need.

While big energy companies make record profits, the fuel bills of ordinary Londoners are out of control. And while other major cities make the transition to clean energy -- tackling air pollution and climate change -- London is lagging behind. We don’t have to accept profiteering, poverty and pollution. Switched On London is calling for a people-powered alternative. A publicly owned company with social justice, clean energy and democracy at its core... SOCIAL JUSTICE --> We want an energy company that offers fair, affordable prices, based on a progressive pricing system. --> We want an energy company that does not cut-off access to those who can’t pay and that does not install unwanted prepayment meters. --> We want an energy company that re-invests all revenues in measures to address fuel poverty and the cost of living crisis, particularly prioritising ambitious investment in household energy efficiency measures. --> We want an energy company that treats its workers fairly, meaning paying at least a London Living Wage, good terms and conditions, secure, unionised and non-precarious work. CLEAN ENERGY --> We want ambitious public investment in new renewable energy generating capacity (we are initiating research into an appropriate specific investment target). A significant portion should be invested in renewable capacity in London. --> The GLA and London local authorities must divest their pension funds from fossil fuels, and re-invest this money to fund the new renewable capacity we need. Other public funding sources for new renewable investment to be explored include municipal bonds and borrowing. --> We want an energy company that aims to sell 100% renewable energy as soon as feasibly possible. DEMOCRACY --> We want a company fully owned by London public bodies (without any private partners) but controlled by people directly. --> To do this, we want to integrate a range of democratic mechanisms, including: 1. A board of directors made up of: 1/3rd London public officials; 1/3rd energy company employees elected democratically by the whole energy company workforce; 1/3rd ordinary London residents, elected democratically with all London residents and all non-London customers given a vote. Board membership must guarantee at least 50% representation of women. 2. Annual open assemblies in every London borough, where representatives of the company have to answer questions and take input and advice. 3. The creation of an online democratic forum where people can discuss and influence the company’s operations, including through public petitions. 4. An obligation for the board to discuss public petitions, if backed by 1% or more of London’s population. 5. An obligation for an online referendum on a proposal, if backed by 5% of London’s population. 6. 100% transparency in all operations. 7. These democratic measures apply to all London residents, regardless of citizenship/nationality status.

In UK an estimated 400,000 elderly people are lonely on Christmas Day. If John Lewis decided to spend £7 million on providing a party for them instead of advertising, it would mean an immediate £17.50 per head ... and even more than that if other large chain stores would get involved. The free publicity they would get from this wonderful gesture would encourage perhaps more people to feel like buying Christmas gifts from them.
