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.

1. Davies Commission Hub Fallacy The Davies Commission report recommends expansion of Heathrow on the fallacious conclusion that because London is an international business hub it needs a hub airport. As a hub airport facilitates flight transfers for people whose destination is not London, the benefits of this activity to London as a whole are limited. It is much more important that London is a widely accessible destination than that one of its airports is a convenient place to change planes. In any event, Heathrow is never going to be as convenient a hub as the larger purpose-built hub airports in Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Paris. 2. Vulnerability to terrorist attack Not only is concentration at a single hub airport for London unnecessary, in the present climate it is in terms of national security most unwise. A terrorist attack could seriously disrupt or curtail operations at Heathrow. The more flight capacity is divided among all London’s airports, the more resilient London would be against the effects of such an attack. It makes no sense to give Heathrow a third runway when all the other airports serving the capital have a single runway. 3. Anti-competitive to favour Heathrow at expense of smaller airports Heathrow is no longer a nationalised industry, but a private sector company; its success should depend on competition with other airports serving the same market. It should compete for traffic with other airports serving the London area, not be given a privileged trading position. If you agree, please sign the petition.

Anti women and anti renewable energy

Britain First is hate speech. Its activities violate Facebook's community guidelines and are deliberately divisive and misleading. Hate speech must not be given a platform no matter if it has 1 or 1million likes. It is Facebook's responsibility to ensure that thier platform is not abused by hate preachers.

There are no parking spaces for motorcycles in Pinner. I cannot park my bike in front of the shops. Got stung with a PCN (Penalty Charge Notice). The parking spaces for cars are always full all the time. I cannot park in the disabled parking spaces (I am profoundly deaf, which therefore makes me disabled so I should be able to park my bike in these spaces - the chances of a wheelchair user needing the space to park his/her car is very slim), I parked my bike in the disabled bays and got stung twice withe the PCN both on the same day which is just way way way beyond ridiculous. There's nowhere to park my bike in Pinner if I need to do some shopping in Pinner. If I cannot park my bike in front of the shops, the car spaces are always full and I cannot park in the disabled spaces, then where am I going to park my bike if I want to do some shopping in Pinner????? I don't want to get stung by the blasted PCN yet again! They already have parking spaces for bikes in Harrow and Uxbridge. Why should Pinner miss out? The shopkeepers in Pinner will want to attract and encourage business to Pinner. Plus bikes are greener than cars. If Harrow Council wants to claim it has green credentials, then they should consider setting aside some parking spaces for bikes in Pinner so that bikers and scooter riders (I ride a 125 c.c. motorised scooter) can park their bikes in Pinner whenever they want to go shopping in Pinner. Not every biker is a Hell's Angels-type biker.

National security, humanity and a moral obligation

Because it's a really bad idea. Everyone is appalled by the terrorist acts in Paris instigated by ISIS and the easy reaction is to back the idea of bombing ISIS in revenge. If I beleived it help stop ISIS I would agree with it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately the reality is trying to bomb ISIS would play right into their hands and act as recruiting agent. Jürgen Todenhöfer one of the only journalists to speak to ISIS know the reality of this. Your heart will say back the French and attempt to bomb ISIS. Your head should say it's the worst idea posible.

The UK should not be involved in air strikes in Syria. We should have no military involvement as a country. The UK should only be involved as a member of the UN and contribute an even military action etc evenly with all other members. What good did out involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya achieve.

Hundreds of thousands of Tenants across the United Kingdom who pay their rent on time and without arrears are being indirectly discriminated against by the credit reference agencies who do not treat tenants rental payments the same as mortgage payments made by the landlords and those who own their own homes. This means that Tenants who later would like to get onto the property ladder often find themselves with a much lower credit score than someone who has paid exactly the same in mortgage payments over the same period of time which puts them at a disadvantage when applying for credit with a bank or building society.

It is important because the British army has killed millions of people in Iraq and taking part in bombing the innocent civilians in many places in the world. Also the UK government is selling arms to the ugly regime of Saudi to supply the Isis terrorists groups with weapons in order to terrorise, kill and control the people in Syria and Iraq and the ISIS killed 100.000 in Syria and Iraq , also 130 people in Paris because the UK and US make them strong with supplying them with weapons al along their best friend Saudi that financed them.
