Another white collar crime gets off with a slap on the wristIt is time that one law for the rich and one law for the poor was ended. Those who claim to lead the country, should be beyond reproach. They receive high wages, and should be dismissed immediately if they are so morally inept, that they think it is OK to steal from the country. Greed and dishonesty are not characteristics suitable for anyone in public leadership. White collar crime continues to increase, with little to no consequences.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jay Lesley

David Cameron - Introduce Firework LawsBecause currently there is no legislation around fireworks, displays, and setting up businesses, 7 people lost their lives in this dreadful tragedy on 4th November 2011, two of them were my parents. We believe that these 7 people should not have died in vain. We believe that the introduction of Laws to ensure that firework operators are suitably trained and licenced in both their field of work and their businesses would go some way to ensuring that this sort of tragedy never happens again. This is so important to us that we already have a petition on another site, but we need more people to back us, so we are now trying our luck on other sites as well.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elaine Adams and Tonia White

Hands Off The Brighton Royal PavilionThis is taken from an article in the Pensioner, which is a local Brighton and Hove magazine, specifically for older people, and was written by local activist Fancis Tonks. From time to time someone comes up with the idea to tear down the Royal Pavilion and build a hospital or build houses, yet the Pavilion, quirky and whimsical, made Brighton what it is today, originally a farmhouse the new Pavilion was designed by John Nash for the Prince Regent 200 years ago. Almost as if the Taj Mahal had been picked up and plonked down by the seaside, the Royal Pavilion is Indian outside and Chinese inside, it is a part of our history. The dining room has a massive dome complete with dragons and was lit with gas for banquets. The music room housed concerts as the Prince Regent had his own band of 70 musicians and on one occasion, welcomed Rossini. In the great War of 1914 to 1918 the pavilion was a hospital that housed Indian soldiers injured in the conflict that is all part of our heritage. It was bought by the city fathers from Queen Victoria for £50,000 in the middle of the 19th century and this makes it the only Royal Palace owned by the people through the local authority. I believe the Royal Pavilion estate as we know it is under threat. A Heritage Lottery Funding bid has gone in and the outcome is not known yet. There are some proposals that are disturbing, the cafe that has being run by the Sewell family for 70 years will be replaced by a " visitor welcome building in the cafe facility that can be operated indoors and outdoors", cutting through the jargon this means the outdoor cafe, loved by residents and visitors, would go. The main entry would be from New Road there and are also worrying references to pay events taking place on the lawns; it is essential we maintain the lawns as with the rest of the glorious gardens. There have been consultations, for what they are worth, now let the people decide, old and young. We must preserve this lovely and historic part of Brighton from the developers, Hands off our Royal Pavilion78 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Bairstow

Ban TV advertising of exploitative companiesThese advertisements are aimed at sections of society who are in dire financial need, or there would be no demand, and it is not likely that obtaining a 'payday loan' at exorbitant interest rates or gambling on-line will be to the benefit of individuals, their families and ultimately society as a whole. It is not difficult to imagine the distress that will ensue repaying loans of over 1000% APR. as advertised on billboard information for the same companies. We believe that a civilised society would not only end this type of commercial exploitation swiftly, but would legislate immediatley to close these industries down, review why they have been allowed to operate for so long and publish details of the individuals who have been profiting by them and defending them to Government.65 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sheldon Young

Fair deal for pensioner's savings:Many pensioners live on a relatively meager pension supplemented by interest from their savings. Over recent years interest rates have been derisory leading to a poverty trap for many senior citizens. This must be urgently addressed.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joy Reardon

A Dedicated Support Team for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.), C.F.S etcWe call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to ensure that a dedicated Consultant/Clinic and medical support team for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia sufferers is set up in South East Wales. I request that this petition be treated as an official voice of M.E. sufferers, their families, carers and interested parties. Currently, sufferers of the above ailments are not being supported, with a few exceptions, by the medical profession. They are unable to work but the government bodies assessing them do not appear to understand their problems. This is the basis for this petition.46 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dennis Jones
