• Butter Puffs
    Butter is a product of milk. The more butter that is used will help the UK dairy farmers. Palm Oil is imported and using that oil does not help the UK balance of payments. It could also help reduce the loss of tropical rain forest.

  • Allow British Families to stay together
    Change this unfair and discriminatory law that penalises British citizens. our family and thousands of other British families are affected by this, because our British born son married an american lady, and they have two sons. the present law will not allow our son to return home to the UK with his family, because he cannot fulfil the income requirements, even though they can live with us and we can help them until they find work. my husband and i are in our mid 60's. we should be able to enjoy the company of our family and our grandchildren, but we cannot.

  • Free TV licences for welfare pensioners
    Over 2 million pensioners will not receive the new state pension and will have to continue to live on £133 per week - some only receive £115 per week state benefits. For a Government that boasted a basic state pension of £155 per week, conveniently forgot to mention all existing pensioners will not receive this amount. To then expect them to pay the licence fee on top of their daily living costs, when they have little or no money to spare, is a damning indictment of the lack of care this government has for those at the bottom of the welfare heap. As a pensioner myself I know many pensioners who find it hard it is to pay their way, keep warm and eat healthily. You only have to look at the number of deaths of older people in the winter months because they don't have enough money to live on. I want you to sign the petition, so that we can put pressure on the Government to include welfare pensioners of all ages getting a free TV licence.

  • Reintroduce Buses Along Gledhow Valley Road
    I have Parkinson's disease. I have had my driving licence revoked. I am reliant on favours to get anywhere because the valley sides are too steep for me. I am not the only person in this position. I'd be happy to take public transport if it were public. What use is a bus pass without a bus?

  • Protect the title 'Veterinary Nurse'
    Veterinary Nurses our your pets advocates. We are highly trained members of staff who look after your much loved family pets as if they were our own. Currently anyone can call them self a Vet Nurse. You take you family pets to the vets and expect high standards of care and for them to be looked after by fully trained and qualified staff. We spend years learning and earning our qualification, we have to know the anatomy of many different species, we take blood and other bodily fluids and look for micro organisms, we monitor anesthetics and know when problems arise and how to correct them, we work out complicated calculations and give complex medication, we are x-rays/CTs/MRI technicians, we are dental hygienists, administrators, grief counselors, and without us your pets are at risks. We take our work home with us, we put your pets before our own sometimes. We need your support. Protect your pet, by protecting us! Under direction from a veterinary surgeon, registered veterinary nurses (RVNs) are allowed to give medical treatment to, or carry out minor surgery on, animals under (Schedule 3 of the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966). They commit to follow our Code of Professional Conduct, keep their skills and knowledge up-to-date and, if they should fall short of their professional responsibilities, they may be subject to our disciplinary process. RVNs found guilty of serious professional misconduct can be suspended or removed from the Register at the direction of the RVN Disciplinary Committee. We therefore believe that it is inappropriate for people without formal training to describe themselves as a ‘veterinary nurse’, and that to do so potentially puts animal welfare at risk. Protecting the title ‘veterinary nurse’ is widely supported by the veterinary nursing profession and the public. This is evidenced by a 2012 HM Government e-petition, calling for the statutory regulation of veterinary nurses, which received over 2,500 signatures. Furthermore, protection of the title is supported by the British Veterinary Nursing Association and the British Veterinary Association, the respective representative bodies for veterinary nurses and veterinary surgeons in the UK.

  • Reduce traffic speed in Wilbury Avenue and Newtown Road, Hove.
    I live on Wilbury Avenue, and many drivers use it and Newtown Road as a short cut, frequently driving much too fast. There are no speed limit signs or other measures to reduce speed. Residents find it dangerous, and it undermines the enjoyment of living on this road. Please sign this petition.

  • Create a national standard for Mental Health Services
    Mental Health services are currently a post code lottery (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-34583155) and even though 1 in 3 people will suffer a mental health problem in their lifetime and 1 in 10 people are suffering with a Mental Health problem at any given moment, with the statistics rising all the time, the Mental Health service is not good enough now. Oh yeah, and every single homo sapien that has ever existed has had a Mental Health, that could be important too.

  • Ban the Addition of Sugar in all Prepared Foods and Soft Drinks
    New figures, extracted from official NHS data, indicate that in 2013 no fewer than 3,208,014 adults were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes [T2D] - an increase of more than 163,000 compared to 2012. T2D, which is currently incurable, is primarily caused by the addition of sugar to almost all prepared food and drink brands - even savoury and spicy products. The consequences of uncontrolled T2D are serious in the extreme. According to figures recently released by government body Public Health England, the number of diabetes-related amputations each week in England has now reached an all-time record high of 135 a week or 7,020 annually. For those who like their foods sweet and are prepared to risk incurring T2D, they are, of course, free to add as much sugar to their foods as they wish . The author of this petition is himself a T2D diabetic.

  • STOP PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COMPANIES SELLING OUR PERSONAL DATA.
    Many people feel that companies make enough money from us already purchasing products from them, using our income in banking to invest, or tying us into long term contracts with phone companies ensuring future income for said company etc.. therefore public and private companies or corporations should not be able to sell our data without individuals permission. This should be passed as a law under the data protection Act 1998. They should also ensure, that, allowing the use of our data is not a requirement for being provided services as this is entirely undemocratic and is in effect bribery and coercion. Companies should honour us when they say the will not use our data for any other purposes than managing our trading account with them. In addendum to this request, The "information commissioning" officer , Christopher Graham and his department needs to ensure a more thorough investigation is undertaken and enforce the policies below until decisions are made regarding the request above of a change to the Data protection act. Many of the below principles in the Data protection act 1998 are being broken regularly. and we are not informed if a company is making money form us. These principles need to be amended to ensure our data is not sold without our permission or personal benefit outside of the original agreement we have made with said company. Data Protection Act 1998 summary of rules below - Personal data shall be processed fairly and lawfully and, in particular, shall not be processed unless: at least one of the conditions in Schedule 2 is met, and - in the case of sensitive personal data, at least one of the conditions in Schedule 3 is also met. - Personal data shall be obtained only for one or more specified and lawful purposes, and shall not be further processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes. - Personal data shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose or purposes for which they are processed. - Personal data shall be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. - Personal data processed for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes. - About the rights of individuals e.g.[10] personal data shall be processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects (individuals). - Appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be taken against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data. - Personal data shall not be transferred to a country or territory outside the European Economic Area unless that country or territory ensures an adequate level of protection for the rights and freedoms of data subjects in relation to the processing of personal data.

  • 24 hr Dental Emergency provision at week ends
    I was recently enjoying a lovely week end with my Husband visiting family on the IOW, I felt a niggle in my tooth as we were crossing over on the ferry (yes it was a Friday), we got there and had a lovely evening, tooth not feeling too bad. Saturday went well, had another lovely family time, tooth not too bad, then Saturday evening the pain started ..... I was up most of the night my tooth throbbing .....I took pain killer after pain killer .... Sunday morning in quite a lot of pain but took more pain killers and went out with the family (already arranged), by 12.00pm I could stand it no more, I rang around a few dentists, there was no provision for emergency treatment until Monday Morning .... OMG, I was now crying with pain ... I then rang 111, only to be told, I am really sorry, you have missed the only emergency dentist, they closed at 12.00 o'clock OMG, I am now pacing around like a mad woman in AGONY, my Husband suggests we visit A&E, by now it's 3.30pm, I didn't have to wait too long for the Doctor see me (he took pity on me) and said I am not a Dentist but, I can give you some Amoxil & pain killers until you see your own Dentist, now I do know that most A&E departments will not even give a person with Dental pain anything, even though they are in AGONY so I regard myself to be very fortunate! I went straight back to the hotel room and took a double dose of Amoxil & a painkiller, I can only say it took the pressure off enough to see the family later whom we had to abandon earlier. I got through the evening then went back to the hotel took another double dose of Amoxil & more painkillers, well what a night ...... I was still in a lot of pain, I must have drifted in and out of sleep. Monday morning I got up at 6.00 by now my face was very swollen, I looked and felt awful, I then decided to find a local Dentist (before the ferry home), I was waiting on the Dentists doorstep at 8.00am, I've never been so grateful to be at the Dentists! He looked at me pitifully then checked the tooth and yes, it was a full on nasty abscess, he prescribed me some stronger medication, I hurried to the chemist and took two tablets straight away, 20 mins later, OMG ..... I was now in even more agony, this can happen when the meds try to stop the infection from growing, the sepsis breaks down and deposits it in your bloodstream, it makes you feel very poorly, we decided to get an earlier ferry home!! We stopped in at my sister's on the way, as she lives in Bournemouth (who just happens to be a nurse), so I could try to rest, she was shocked when she saw me, by now it was nearly 2.00pm, I was due another dose of meds at 3.00pm, I took them & went to bed for an hour, I was now in and out of weird sleep, when I got up my sister was very concerned about my airway as my tongue was swollen as well as my neck, I also had a temperature, she took me to A&E. I was admitted immediately and within 30mins I was put on a drip being pumped full of antibiotics & fluids, I was now septic. Well as you can Imagine I was not a happy bunny, my face and neck looked like a misshapen football. I spent the evening in a little ward in A&E at Bournemouth Hospital, then at 4am was moved to Poole Hospital by Ambulance where they have a team of specialists, so there I am in Hospital for the best part of 5 days, being pumped full of antibiotics & fluids, followed by surgery & a drain in my neck!! After a day of observation I was released to go home on Friday with meds for another 5 days. It will take a few weeks for the swelling to go down and another week off work!! Can you see why it is important to have Emergency Dentists in A&E or elsewhere, to cover week-ends, if I could have seen a Dentist sooner I would not have been in this situation!! And it is the first time I have ever been in this situation!!! I am not a person who neglects her teeth, I have regular 6 monthly check ups! I have since heard so many similar horror stories about not getting treatment in time, why & when did severe pain (Dental) no longer become sympathetic by the medical profession?? Now Jeremy can you see how prevention is better then a cure!! Come on Jeremy Hunt, get this division sorted out between the NHS & Dentists!!
