Private Finance InitiativeAs these contracts run for up to 35 years, the tax payer is held to pay up. As most hospitals are funded this way, we will be left with vast payments to private companies who built (at 4x the cost) and run (at over inflated costs eg £900 to change a light bulb) and the actual care to patients will (and is suffering) to for fill these payments. The Net is littered with examples of its continued us in government: e.g. http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2013/08/17/new-staffordshire-fire-stations-are-waste-of-public-cash/6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Neal Evans

BBC WORKING FOR NHSThe NHS will soon be on its knees. By having the BBC work for the NHS it will help boost the budget of the service that needs to be top of our preservation and improvement list. I am deliberately making this is a brief note because the simple ideas are the best and I do not want to be watering it down by long-winded explanations. In short, get the BBC working for the NHS.37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Norman Giller

Tesco: Fish responsibly!We depend on the oceans for our survival. Oceans create oxygen. 90% of our fish stocks have disappeared through overfishing. If we lose the fish, we lose whales. If we lost whales, we lost plankton. If we lost plankton, we lose oxygen. Everything is connected. Tesco uses trawler nets to catch its fish, which kill other sea creatures like turtles and sharks unnecessarily.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ashleigh Brown

Recycle all plastics in Westminster Council, LondonWith the vast amount of people and business that goes on in London, ensuring the minimum amount of waste ends up in landfill should be a top priority! Making it easy for residents and businesses to recycle something as basic as plastic is a fundamental part of that. If other councils like Greenwich can recycle a large range of mixed recycling why can't Westminster?11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Laura Dodd Wild

Ban the Peeple appHaving been on the end of unwarranted and false verbal and written abuse by an individual with little or no recourse to redress, it seems reprehensible to me to allow unproven negative comments and views to be posted in such a way.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ann Moore

Stop the RIGHT TO BUY!To house those on low, minimum wages. Let us break this English notion of home ownership. Promoting "Thatcher's" edict of house ownership is to saddle poor people with unaffordable morgages to keep them screwed down so as not to cause trouble. Keeping the lower classes in debt stops industrial action and allows the population to be more manageable.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Long

Publish the sugar reportPublic health experts agree that a high sugar diet is a major cause of obesity, dental caries and other associated problems. High sugar foods are predominantly processed foods, cheap and pushed with advertisements. Education and publicity on their own are not enough to prevail against this. Government prefers that the industry should regulate itself, but no progress is being made that way. This report examined the potential to make progress through pricing and its publication would inform debate over solutions to this great public health issue.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David DAWSON

End Unfair Access To Media Employment and Decision-MakingThis matters because the general public have a right to know if access to employment and/or decision making bodies in the media are open only to a narrow section of society, which either wilfully or innocently perpetuates itself within these occupations and other forms of participation in media output and decision making to the detriment of our wider society.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by frank rafferty
