Our countryside is under threat from developers who are pushing for green field housing development because it is easier and more profitable than utilising brown field sites. Many rural sites that have been earmarked for development offer no local work, no local school places, no GP surgery places and the housing planned is more "market housing" i.e. 3&4 bedroom with garden and garage. Many rural communities need just a few 1 & 2 bedroom homes as starter homes or for downsizing. We already have plenty of market homes available for purchase and there is no need for more. New housing should be concentrated in towns where there is work and there are shops and scope to expand schools and GP practices etc. Our countryside is our heritage and needs to be protected at all costs so our children and grandchildren can enjoy it as we do.

This is an the effort to reduce: energy consumption, energy requirement, energy generated, & reduce pollution. Generators of energy, sellers of energy, benefit from our consumption, It is estimated that perhaps 30%-40% of all electrical energy used is for lighting in winter. Generators use nuclear, oil, gas and coal, the dirty carbons and dangerous fuels to, provide us with the energy we need. Until the world is using renewables alone, we need to reduce our consumption. Incandescent lighting is unnecceassry there ae sound alternates for lighting i.e. LED's that are simple to switch to and last longer.

So we can get more kids of the street and into their local skatepark where you can be active with your friends and in the future there may be some sort of events. Please sign!

There have been accidents there and temporary signage often falls over shortly after being placed

Our hospitals in east lancashire are in special measures and yet are being forced to find £30 Million in savings, Despite underfunding being the cause of the Trust's failure.The ELHT, East Lancs Hospital Trust has a serious problem in recruiting and retaining top quality Doctors and Nurses. This trust is being deliberately run down and this could be your hospital trust next. Help stop it now.

I've been in the unfortunate position of being a weekend Dad for a long time, and have felt nothing but discrimination as a result. Having recently tried and passionately fight for custody of my children through the farcical family courts, I cannot begin to imagine what must be going through my children’s minds as to why Dad is no longer available to them every day. As the primary carer due to being self-employed and at home; all the routines, bedtime stories, school runs, meals etc. that were in place prior to being made homeless by my wife a few years ago, were suddenly non-existent, and a family unit destroyed by the mother, yet people like Penelope Leach clearly feel mothers are perfect and that fathers cannot provide the same level of care, compassion, love, discipline. Having read her views I'm absolutely livid. A couple of months ago just prior to Mother’s Day I sat with my two boys (5 & 6) and they painted up two empty wooden jewellery boxes and decorated them with various craft bits and pieces. They then each made a homemade Mother’s Day card. They were both very proud, as was I of what they had done, and only too eager to give these to their mother. Yesterday was Father’s Day, and I received only a wonderful card made by one son at School. My oldest commented that he was hadn't been able to make one. While I don't expect any gifts, the fact that each year, on birthdays, father’s day etc., my children’s mother cannot be bothered to ensure that my children at least give me a card it shows how poor this particular mother is in thinking about the best interest of her children. There are some fantastic fathers out there and some extremely poor mothers and Penelope Leach does not recognise this.

Jean Charles de Menezes (pronounced [ʒeˈɐ̃ ˈʃahlis dʒi meˈnezis] in Brazilian Portuguese) 7 January 1978 – 22 July 2005) was a Brazilian man shot dead by the London Metropolitan police at Stockwell tube station on the London Underground after he was misidentified as one of the fugitives involved in the previous day's failed bombing attempts. These events took place two weeks after the London bombings of 7 July 2005, in which 52 people were killed. Contemporaneous and later police and media accounts contradicted each other, specifically regarding Menezes's manner and clothing as he entered the station, and whether there had been any police warnings before they fired. The death sparked an intense public debate over a shoot-to-kill practice known as Operation Kratos. The codename was dropped in 2007, but the policy continues. Police put under surveillance the communal entrance to a block of flats in Tulse Hill, south London, in which Menezes was living, and saw Menezes leave the building. Plain clothes officers, armed with pistols, followed him as he took a bus to Brixton tube station, before boarding another to Stockwell because the tube station at Brixton was closed. Specialist firearms officers were called to Stockwell. Just after Menezes entered a train, several officers wrestled him to the ground and fired seven bullets into his head at point blank range. The train was still at the platform with its doors open, having just been evacuated by officers. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) launched two investigations. Stockwell 1, the findings of which were initially kept secret, concluded that none of the officers would face disciplinary charges. Stockwell 2 strongly criticised the police command structure and communications to the public, bringing pressure on the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair to resign. In July 2006, the Crown Prosecution Service said there was insufficient evidence to prosecute any of the officers, although a corporate criminal prosecution of the Metropolitan Police was brought under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. This alleged that the police service had failed in its duty of care to Menezes. The service was found guilty and fined. On 12 December 2008 an inquest returned an open verdict.[1]I feel that because of the way he was taken from life that it is the least that can be done. I pass the memorial at stockwell and look it to his young eyes and it makes me upset that he was killed so brutally .

It undermines a business and can push it to the edge especially a small online business that relies on accessing it's own money from its Paypal account. Paypal act like Judge, Jury and executioner with virtually nobody to turn to in the UK if things go wrong. Paypal are regulated by Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier, based in Luxembourg, the FCA Financial conduct Authority here in the UK apparently would look at a complaint case but have no real power to intervene. Paypal are not regulated in the UK in the same way a bank is and so get away with withholding your funds as it sees fit for up to 180 days, this limitation or freezing of your account can happen without notice or warning. This can happen to anyone, one such case was when an Ebayer recently had an increase in sales revenue because a product became a hot item. This Ebayer came to the attention of Paypal and their account was limited with £3000 sat in their account and unable to withdraw any of the money or purchase anything, the effect of Paypals limitation also caused problems with Ebay and meant the seller was unable to list any new items either. In essence this small time online business was earning a steady part time income to zero within a few days, This does not just affect Ebay online business sellers it can also affect individuals who can also find themselves with a limited account and a very frustrating wait to access their money. Paypals resolution process is drawn out without it appears any kind of definitive timescale it feels it needs to stick to. They are a multi-billion pound company who bully and trample over people, currently they know they can get away with what ever they want. Please join this petition and make Paypal reconsider their policies and prevent them from freezing and limiting Paypal accounts without evidence of wrong doing. Innocent until proven guilty should be restored as it should be, put Paypal in its place. There is no room in the UK for a company that is able to limit or freeze a monetary account without evidence of wrong doing and a court order.

Health and social care services are under huge pressure, largely due to our ageing population. Hospitals are struggling to balance their budgets and meet targets at a time of increasing demands, while social care is taking deep cuts and becoming a scandal-hit Cinderella service. If health and social care were integrated and more community services were developed, fewer old and vulnerable people would end up on trolleys in A & E or in hospital beds. The Government recognises this, but its Better Care Fund is taking money from hospital budgets to pay for these changes. All the main political parties agree health and care services need to be integrated. If integration is to function properly, it needs to be given sufficient funding to allow both sectors to work on equal terms to move relevant care services out of hospitals into the community. With proper investment and given time to work, the looming crisis in health and social care would be averted and we would all benefit from a fully integrated service.

The publishing of these reports would allow the Scottish people to examine the results and make a more informed choice on the question of independence for Scotland.

The young must be re-engaged with Politics and this will only happen if they can participate and feel part of the system. This reform would lead to a feed up rather than feed down format. The excessive cost of 818 Lords could be considerably reduced and the 2nd House would be elected. The Prime Minister would be directly elected by the whole country and he would select his own cabinet. The concerns of the electorate would be better served by Regionally Elected Mp's who would be in closer contact with the electorate.

Are we human or are we not? How can anyone be willing to consume any product generated with the use of slave labour.
