• BBC NEWS: STOP THIS MEDIA BLACKOUT OF THE BEACH PARTY
    We feel the BBC News coverage of the Elections has, to date, been unfairly biased against the Beach Party. This bias is evident in the complete absence of coverage of the Beach Party yet they have been advertising UKIP for months and they have only just recently won their first parliamentary seat largly thanks to the main stream media propaganda. OCCUPY EVERYWHERE POWER TO THE PEOPLE NOT JUST THE 1% Sandy Andy is running for the 2015 General Election and the BBC are censoring this information: We Can Build a Better World! The Beach Party Politics are simple- Free Food Free Housing Free Health Care Free Higher Education Free Electricity, Heating, Water, Internet and Basic Utilities. The Beach Party manifesto is to provide these things to every citizen and will make politics more interesting. The BBC is evidently only working for the interests of big business and unethical industry profit which it has done for many years. Times are changing more rapidly then ever as we become more entangled with the interweb, but we hope for the sake of the world that this change goes in the right direction. Humanity could easily be obliterated by war, become slaves to Big Business Corporations or fade away amid the mounting effects of climate change so we hope to address these Bias Bloody Companies head on, with an online petition. If you think these ideas are important to stand up for, then please sign this and tell your friends. The Beach Party was founded on the simple aim of ”Being Nice” … pass it on! Anonymously we rise together – Andrew Robertson offers hope. It’s a pretense that we live in a DEMOCRACY in the UK, lets be honest, it’s a PLUTOCRACY which desperately needs re-shaping. Noam chomsky said a Princeton University paper by Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page shows that our economic elite and organised groups representing Big Business Clients interests have substantial independent impact on governmental policy while average citizens and mass based interest groups have little or no impact. This behavior of Blatant Bias Corruption to benefit the few at the expense of license payers is frustrating for everyday people who fund these Big Bogus Companies. We can change things but we need to wake up to reality. The Beach Party is throwing its hat into the political ring with forward thinking ideas that aim to change life for the better, right now, for the majority of the population but the media should not be censoring this information. How do we pay for all these free things offered by the Beach Party? The UK currently spends more money on war then it would cost to feed and sanitize the whole world, so understanding this, it’s easy to see how we could feed everyone on our small islands. There are more empty homes in the UK then homeless people and profit from our utility companies is in the multiple billions. Profits at Britain’s ‘Big Six’ energy suppliers are five times higher than they were in 2009 yet average wages have barely increases. This doesn’t seem fair at all. The world produces enough food and has enough space to feed and house everyone alive but capitalism is used to ration goods and services to people with money. As a result many old people who have contributed to this country their entire life now cant afford to heat their house AND buy food. This system is designed to make the rich people richer and the poor people poorer. This country has never been collectively so rich but 1 in 3 now live below the poverty line. Somebody has to change this. http://www.dirtybeach.tv/politics-in-the-uk/

  • Stop the Scottish nationalists neverendum
    The neverendum is a destructive and divisive strategy that is a very corrosive influence on our society. We are a nation of only 5 million so the SNP should do the honourable thing and accept the result rather than continue to gripe and grouse about outside influences within our devolved parliament.

  • Repatriate UK plastic bags to Scotland
    Scots have exercised their devolved powers to help save the planet. To restrict the energy and resources required to make millions of plastic bags every year and to help us all stop polluting the planet by dumping plastic in landfill sites, the Scottish Government has introduced a compulsory charge of 5p per bag. This is not a tax, The money goes to the shops and supermarkets who sell you the bag and the VAT goes into the Westminster treasury. It is estimated that £9million per year could flow south to the UK treasury from this tax alone. There is no compulsory bag compulsory charge in England. Scots need to stop these subsidy junkies in England bleeding this country dry of our wealth, talent and resources. To redress this subsidy imbalance I propose that all Scots working or living in England who travel north across the border should repatriate as many free English plastic bags home to Scotland as they can each trip so we can re-use and recycle them as required.

  • Make politicians eat their words
    He is claiming that all benefit claimants can live off £7 a day. I think if he says it's possible why not do it himself. So like the rest of us we would get £7 to spend a day. All to go on nothing really as money would have to be saved up to spent on bills. With £7 a day means no gas, no electricity, no heating, no lights on a switch no hot food and just live in idleness, want, hunger, cold and squalor.

  • Clarity v Censorship of Social Media
    Without this clarity our rights to opinions and free speech will be at the behest of a regulator who may classify some as illegal financial promotions. Our regulator (the FCA) and their equivalent in the USA (the SEC) are currently the only regulators in the western world who are seeking to limit the free speech and flow of opinions of citizens on social media. So this matters to us all. Opinions & Free Speech Regulated = Censorship What it proposes is far from clear. The result of this lack of clarity is it places rights to monitor and regulate the expression of opinions and free speech, by both innovators and innocent members of the public, initially in this small but very significant area, into the hands of unelected and unaccountable regulators. Historical precedents are clear where this can, and usually does, lead. Clarity This unclarity is simply not necessary. One of the UK's leading legal minds, Chris Moss,of JMW solicitors, who continues to guide The Bank of Dave, has looked with us at the legislation, which was created before social media existed, and identified the small but crucial and uncontroversial changes needed to bring exactly this clarity. He has identified that these are changes that can be made by the Chancellor and his Treasury ministers. In under a week the UK's Financial Regulator close their consultation as they tighten their grip on Social Media and what messages from the trade and public will be outlawed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE ACT NOW Please sign the petition and also respond now to the FCA to ensure ordinary citizens are not placed in legal jeopardy for using social media to express an opinion, or talk about a crowdfund. This only need takes a few moments. The full details are at http://www.fca.org.uk/your-fca/documents/guidance-consultations/gc14-06 and it closes 6th Nov 2014. If you care about free speech or the freedom of social media please read the summary and express your opinion, below. One way or another it's important you express your opinion about free speech. We need clarity and unless there's a change of direction that won't happen. PLEASE NOTE Sample/Template Text is provided below and you can skip to it below and send it if you're familiar with this issue and short of time. As requested by the FCA please email : [email protected] or use the response form at http://www.fca.org.uk/your-fca/documents/guidance-consultations/gc14-06 ------ Sample Template Response (for you to adapt and send) ----- I/we do not believe that the FCA should have the right to monitor and classify ordinary citizens use of social media as illegal. Paid financial promotions (adverts) are different from citizens use of such media, and measures to ensure they are policed to be 'clear, fair and not misleading' must not remove the rights of citizens to free speech and free expression, or place citizens in jeopardy. This is paramount and we call on the FCA to ensure that this clear distinction is maintained in the handling of social media, and to make the necessary changes to these proposals to ensure that they are, and citizens and entrepreneurs use of social media for crowdfunding or other purposes is not restricted. To also, if necessary, directly raise these matters with government to ensure such clarity. We need clarity. Please play your part by taking just a few moments to respond to the FCAs consultation and express your opinion.

  • University of Hull to use Ecosia.org as default search engine
    Ecosia.org is a website which donates 80% of its profits from online advertisements revenue to a tree planting project in Brazil, the home of the Amazon Rainforest - in association with WWF. This website is building in popularity and we can all help it and help the planet through increasing biodiversity, protecting such an amazing natural beauty and offsetting carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, something which cannot be done through Carbon Capture technologies* (*Due to the fact that there is only approximately 0.04% (400 parts per million) CO2 in the atmosphere - as researched by the University of Sheffield)
