• Prime Minister: Don't launch air strikes against ISIS!
    There is sufficient evidence to prove that air strikes are not accurate. We risk killing hundreds of innocent people with the UK's approach of a 'blanket quick-fix' that is air strikes. ISIS is an incredibly difficult movement to monitor, with an estimated membership of 200k. They're constantly moving and growing which makes air strikes considerably difficult and often ineffective.

  • Save Chilterns AONB
    If this development is allowed to go ahead unchallenged it will declare an open season for developers encroaching on protected land. Part of the development is classified as brown fields as it is on the site of the Molins factory in Haw Lane. This was originally a wartime dispersal factory which was placed here with the promise that when it was demolished it would be returned to farmland- a promise that has conveniently been ignored. The factory was situated so that it was not easily visible from the road and rail links through the valley. The new proposal, however, covers far more than the Molins site. It takes a sweep up almost to the crest of Slough Hill, one of a ridge of hills forming the south side of the Risborough gap. It will be highly visible and despoil what is at present and undeveloped area. The hamlet of Saunderton will become a dormitory village. The most concerning part of this proposal is that this is within the Chilterns AONB. Of all the AONB in the country, the Chilterns, just 30 miles from London, is likely to be under most pressure. Other AONB within the London commuter belt (such as those in Berkshire) will also come under sustained threat. A strong swell of disagreement with these plans would warn other developers and councils from making further outrageous proposals.

  • More social housing
    Many people are now having to seek private rented accommodation, due to there being a lack of social housing. They are being exploited by rogue, and greedy landlords, who can get away with mistreating tenants because they don`t have anywhere else to go. It`s common to read: NO DSS, NO PETS and NO CHILDREN ! Are people on benefits commiting a crime by having to accept benefits ?? Landlords are able to dictate terms, increase the rent and give you short notice to leave. We need to have affordable and secure tenancies, not expensive private lets. Previous, and existing governments, have created this dilemma, and they have admitted to relying on private landlords to fill in the gap. Right to buy is brilliant for the people that can take advantage of this opportunity, but, if there is no plan to replace these properties, they are lost to anyone wanting to rent for ever. I believe that the revenue from the right to buy was used to help pay off the national debt; which is very short sighted, and has resulted in the dire situation we have in the housing market now. I would like to reiterate, please, can we have some COMMON SENSE used before any government policies are implemented ?

  • PREVENT MORE KILLINGS IN BURMA.
    Rohingan Muslim refugees are trying to flee from the horrendous violence that the Buddists are perpetrating in their country, offering stories of rape, torture and execution, but an estimated 8,000 migrants have been stranded for months after repeatedly being turned back and towed away by the navies of Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. There have been reports of people being stabbed, hanged and thrown overboard and of fights for food and water. 140,000 Rohingya have been herded by the government into fetid, disease-ridden camps since sectarian tensions with local Buddhists erupted in 2012. What will my contribution offer? By keeping this evil firmly in the minds of the politicians named above, it will be hard for the world to ignore the suffering, and it will encourage the development of humanist schemes to relieve this situation and save innocent lives

  • Make April 28th TERRY PRATCHETT DAY
    Terry Pratchett is the most accomplished British writer of the late 20th and early 21st century. His novels and their contained philosophy have had a huge effect on popular culture and the Discworld exists in the hearts of millions of loyal readers. Terry's tireless work at the end of his life confronting the prejudice and fear surrounding dementia and the choice to die with dignity mark him out as a truly extraordinary human being and one deserving of a day in his honour.

  • Meat-free Glastonbury Festival
    The huge scale of meat consumption in the west is not sustainable for much longer as the population of our planet continues to grow. It is very inefficient to get second-hand nutrients from livestock as it can take up to 16kg of grain to produce 1kg of meat. In turn this leaves less room for edible plant life to grow because we are overbreeding our livestock and they need to somewhere to graze. In terms of Glastonbury festival it is quite shocking to see how many people habitually gravitate towards the stalls which serve meat for every meal. There seems to be a great disparity between the ethos of the festival and the actions of the organisers when it comes to catering. Lets call on the organisers of the festival to stop serving meat, or at least to drastically reduce it's availability on site, and making it a less desirable option. This will not in any way affect ticket sales of the world's biggest performing arts festival. I'm in no doubt that feeding the population of Glastonbury festival (twice the population of the Isle of Man) with just vegetarian options would send a huge message to make people think twice about eating meat so frequently but also will save many hundreds of tons of CO2 being released into the atmosphere.

  • Suncream Safety
    Out of date suncream can have ether no effect or potentially can even have a damaging effect which can potentially mean people have a greater risk to skin cancer. Currently manufacturers are not required to put a use by date which means people may use until empty but this is very risky.

  • Keep the RBS PUBLIC
    It is wrong for taxpayers, who will surely stand to lose substantial amounts in any such fire sale. It is wrong for small businesses, as ministers and voters will lose whatever grip they had on directing lending to hard-pressed companies that are facing bankruptcy or big losses thanks to the harsh financing terms extended by high-street banks. And finally, it is wrong for the British economy, which is struggling to emerge from a severe recession caused by banks running wild.

  • PEACE NOW
    Following the recent massacres in Egypt, France, Kuwait and Tunisia it's time for real action by world governments. Irresponsible governments and regimes must understand that the people of the world can't watch more bloodshed in silence. If we don't see real action to bring about peace in the world we will act.
