  • Keep the Workington cross
    Peter Nelson, who formerly run Crystal Commissions in the town centre, erected this memorial in tribute to his late wife, Angela, and also as a gift to the town he has called home for so many years, and the town he has provided invaluable services to from his business. Given the history of the slag bank, being built upon what was formerly known as Chapel Hill, and the location, many people in the area think this is a wonderful tribute and should be allowed to remain.

  • Cats are Important too
    One of my cats was recently run down and killed and thanks to a lady passing in a bus who went back and took him to the local vet i was informed about it. Although this news is extremely upsetting at least I got to take him home and have him buried properly. I'm not a mad cat woman but i considered him to be one of my family and i miss him to bits.

  • STOP THE POLICE INVESTIGATING THEMSELVES!
    As we have seen in recent exposures regarding racism, just 1% of these complaints were upheld, can we really believe that 99% of those complaints were untrue? This is also reflected in many other complaints. Very few appeals, when made, are also upheld. it is common sense not to allow public bodies to investigate themselves. Let us have truly independent complaint investigations for everyone who feels they have a complaint regarding the police, that is only fair for those people who have suffered unfair treatment at the hands of the Police. Even the IPCC itself has been critical of local police forces investigating themselves stating:'Police forces are still failing to respond to far too many of the public’s complaints despite improvements made to the complaints system in 2004 and additional guidance issued by us to forces back in May last year'. They also criticised the time it takes for complaint to be dealt with, which is on average 6 months!

  • For a public inquiry into the consequences of finance in Politics
    The interest of the general public should be the sole motive of government. If other motives exist, these should be publicly known.

  • Save Earl's Court
    The outcome of the current Hammersmith and Fulham council's review could significantly alter the original Master plan. The demolition of Earl’s Court Exhibition Centre should be now considered premature, given that approval was only granted on the condition that the site-wide Master plan go ahead as presented. For this reason, we ask that a 'pause’ on the demolition be announced with immediate effect.

  • Protect birds of prey from the Moorland Association
    I do not want my hard earned tax revenue being used to strip the countryside of its natural fauna for the benefit of a few rich people who want to shoot game birds. I was unaware that this was happening (as I'm sure most other tax payers are) until I read an article in the Sunday Times today. Apparently, Natural England (really?) paid such estates 17 million pounds in 1212-13. This is NOT an approriate use of public money and must be stopped. Support this capaign and Chris Packham to end this outrageous misuse of OUR MONEY by an organisation which is supposed to protect the countryside. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is also involved in a plan to effectively remove theses species from grouse moor areas by stripping their nests of eggs, hatching them the re-locating them to non grouse shoot areas. Again, is this an appropriate use of OUR MONEY to subsidise a passtime of the rich?

  • Vaccinate all children against CHICKENPOX
    In the US, Australia and Japan vaccination is already in place. It's an awful childhood disease to suffer through and many teenagers and adults contract this with far more damaging complications later in life. The cost to the NHS would be easily off-set by not having to deal with chickenpox complications and parents not needing to take time of work to look after sick children or themselves.

  • Medical Cannabis urgently needed
    Medical Cannabis has been used as a medicine for millennia. I can find no information that it is dangerous, but there is plenty of information to support using this very successful, sometimes miraculous medicine. It treats MS, many types of cancer, depression, anxiety, pain, insomnia, fibromyalgia, PTSD, and many, many other illnesses. Anyone with an ounce of compassion surely could not deny this important medicine.
