We believe in free childcare as a step toward a poverty-free Britain. The government must do all they can to get adults living in deprivation back into education and into work. Free childcare is therefore a MUST. Currently free childcare is available for all regardless of income for children over the age of three. As a teacher in the further education sector (not university based) I have had women either not show up to classes due to lack of childcare, quit a course or not show up all together for the same reason. Often, these women have been in need of support in the array of ways only a classroom can provide. As I am a lecturer in teaching English to speakers of other languages, I specialise in catering for the needs of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants. Often facing social isolation, the classroom is not only a place for learning but a place to feel like a human being again. It isn't fair that I have had to turn women away from classes because they need to come in with their young, screaming children. Other further education teachers will know what I am talking about! I have done what I can in the past, but it is the other students in the class that often have to put their foot down and say they can't concentrate when there are children in the room. It affects the material of discussion and in the past I have even had to provide under 5's with things to do to keep them occupied. The mothers often have to leave the room, dragging their children to the bathroom, disrupting class discussions or the kids play on their mum's mobile - music blaring, guns firing. Us adult ed. teachers do our best but we shouldn't have to play nursery nurse too. There is a proven link between poverty and inaccessible childcare especially for single parents. A child raised in a single parent household is twice as likely to live in deprivation as a child raised by a couple. Current early years provision is just too expensive for those on lower wages. Furthermore, lack of funding for established nurseries means that there are extremely limited places available, often on a first come, first serve basis. So if a parent doesn't get their child into the creche on time, the parent doesn't get to attend class. For equality between rich and poor, parents and non parents, single parents and coupled parents, free childcare for all, regardless of income, must be made available. Without it, these groups of people are not getting equal rights to education and employment. Educate to Liberate is calling on the government to make it pay to work. We ask them to make it pay for people to go back to study. Anyone would think they wanted to keep people in the poverty cycle not help them out....

The BBC has always professed to a 'non-bias' standing, yet without public involvement in the News selection process ANY form of auditioning can be seen as agenda bias. We are in the age of technology and as such the majority of the general public have at their availability a wealth of news items from across the internet. I would argue that the daily high profile news topics broadcast to the country via the BBC's television and radio programmes should be determined by THE PEOPLE. A rolling billboard of News stories voted up in importance by the general public would broaden the spectrum of what is determined News from that of one organisation to the entire country - should they choose to participate. Not only would this reinvigorate people's interests in current affairs, reinstall some faith in the BBC and be a truly revolutionary concept - it would allow the PEOPLE to influence the pervading tone of society.

Adult education is a source of removing dependency on government resources and hand outs. Adults living in deprivation can go back to college to retrain or gain basic skills so that they can have more confidence to secure better jobs. WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? The department for business, innovation and skills found that further education courses improved the lives of people who had completed them in countless ways. From becoming more employable to being more involved in the local community to better health and well-being. BUT... - The UK government has slashed funding for non-academic (not university based) adult education by a staggering 40% since 2010. - If government cuts continue, adult education will not exist by 2020. Colleges and training agencies have been advised to find other forms of funding. - It is a human right to have access to education at any age. Why should it be limited to our childhood? There are countless reasons why a person may not be able to read and write/speak English/hold qualifications/find a job as an adult. For instance: War Culture that does not encourage the schooling of girls Domestic responsibilities Poverty We believe that everyone should be given the opportunity to access services that may improve the quality of their lives, regardless of age. It is never too late!

It is undemocratic and fundamentally unfair for any political party in any election to get 12.7% of the vote and not get the corresponding number of representatives elected. Whatever you personally may think about any party concerned is irrelevant, it is the principle that voting numbers must be represented correctly by the election results, which is at stake here. In this General Election 2015 a party received equal to 4 million votes and got 1 MP, whereas another party got 1.5 million votes and got 56 MPs. For the sake of our fair and democratic society and a decent electoral system, this has to be changed immediately. To have a healthy democracy the current system cannot be left to continue the way it is.

This is important because it is another example of governments eroding people's rights to withdraw their labour when employers don't pay them enough or put in place policies which change their terms and conditions for the worse. Remember people have died, been forcibly relocated and suffered for the rights you have today. Don't let any government take them away from you.

Because millions of fathers are being persecuted and suffering at the hands of these unfit-for-purpose agencies. It is not CAFCASS' place to assess a father's ability to parent, it is his biological right and the CSA have no consideration for a man's ability to pay and should realistically reflect his financial burdens.

We cannot stand by and let this happen so are you in? Lets stand together and keep them safe sign and make your voice be heard.

This is massively important. Governments are subsidising these huge fossil powers to tune of billions to get the ever degrading fossil fuels when we can't afford to be. We all know what the consequences are. We need to cut subsidies and subsidise renewable clean energy instead. The reason? Governments subsidise these powerful elites because their reward comes back to them in the form of massive donations to the parties involved. These companies then have a say in policies. Money talks.

The Isle of Wight Council is cash-strapped, with important services being slashed Island wide as a result. When the sale of land to Asda was originally negotiated, it promised to generate much needed revenue for the IOW Council. Now, because Asda feel they can bully their way out of the original agreed sale value, the Council may likely see itself £2.4million worse off. Asda want to see the price slashed from £20 million to just £17.6 million. This will put even greater pressure on local services already stretched thinly. http://www.iwcp.co.uk/news/news/asdas-costly-demands-for-the-isle-of-wight-council-over-supermarket-plans-80858.aspx

40% of people did not vote in the last election as they felt their views were not represented or the current system meant their vote was meaningless. The Government was elected by less than 39% of those who voted. The Government received the votes of less than 20% of those entitled to vote. No Party could claim a Legitimate right rule the country after the last election. First past the post works well in a 2 party system, but that has ended.

Voters are not fairly represented in parliament. Conservatives won 36% of the vote yet have 51% representation in parliament. The SNP won 4.7% of the vote and have 56 Mp’s; the Greens won 3.8% and have only one MP. UKIP Won votes that amount to 1/3 of the conservative vote and yet the conservatives have 331 seats to UKIP’S 1 seat. This is an affront to democracy.

1/5 people suffer from mental health problems in the UK, many of these people self harm, in fact suicide is the leading cause if death in the UK for men under 21. Many TV programmes can have detrimental effects on peoples well beings. TV producers such as the BBC seem to enjoy using themes such as suicide and rape as they are deemed as "interesting" of "exciting". But there is little regard for certain viewers emotions. As a long term suffer of mental health problems, many things trigger negative emotions, these are the things I obviously try and avoid. However, when programs, such as casualty, air distressing themes, the viewers are given no prior warning, sparking many negative emotions. I feel it is necessary that trigger warnings are displayed before a program starts if necessary. (Just like the BBC do with flashing lights etc) a simple message such as "warning: triggering content", would make such a difference to so many people.
