  • Shut down the ticket touts.
    There are seven petitions going through the direct-gov organisation at the moment but it seems that only one of them has any serious numbers of supporters. As I have been watching the power of 38 Degrees for some time I believe that it is only via this route that a serious petition to this end will come about.

  • Save the Downham Market and Wimbotsham green space.
    This high quality agricultural land represents the last green space separating the rural village of Wimbotsham and the sprawl of Downham Market. It also borders a conservation area. Developing this field will facilitate the future destruction of the last natural and untouched open space available to the residents of Downham Market. This is an area of great biodiversity and natural beauty used for recreation by residents for more than twenty years. Development will destroy a rare elevated panoramic fenland view.

  • Abolish political parties to reinstate democracy
    We must take steps to improve our democracy. Our MPs are generally elected through a deal with the devil. Well, I say devil but I mean political parties. In order to gain money for campaigning and to gain the votes of people who vote along party lines, most people who want to become MPs are forced to join political parties. Unfortunately, if they do get elected then they are now in the pocket of the party that helped them get there. They have to obey what is known as "the whip". This means following the party line. They are no longer free to represent the views of their constituents - instead they represent the views of the party. Political parties are also open to lobbying. Big business and trade unions can suck up to the political parties and tempt them into adopting policies that suit them. Now your MP is not just failing to represent you - they're actually representing other interests entirely that may be anathema to your views. The role of an MP should be to represent their constituents. It is so rare that this is the case. Far too often, an MP's main relationship with their constituents is to send them the party line whenever the constituents ask for representation and deluge the constituents with leaflets around election time! This is not how our democratic system should work. The abolishment of political parties may seem an extreme step but I believe it is necessary if we are to have members of parliament who fulfil their remit and represent their constituents. Please sign this petition and pass it on. We can at least show our MPs a sign that we want real democracy in this country.

  • Make provision of public toilets a statutory duty
    The public have no come-back, especially in rural areas, as it's not written down in law that they have to provide them. It is a public health issue as people will use other sites if necessary. This is a basic human right, which has more impact on women and disabled people, as well as workers in rural areas such as van drivers and bus drivers.

  • Solar Britain
    It's clear from the constant debate about household energy bills, that the British public are unhappy with the way energy is being managed in the private sector. There is also concern about relying too much on fossil fuels which pollute the environment and are expensive. Wind farms in the right places certainly help, but the potentially cheaper and less controvertail way to produce energy is with solar panels, which have improved greatly in recent years and are now much cheaper to produce. The facts and figures are irrefutable: If most rooftops, including factories, warehouses, supermarkets/shopping centers, stations, schools, hospitals, libraries etc, as well as appropriate household roofs, were fitted with solar panels, we would generate more than enough energy for our needs. In order to achieve this, the main energy companies may need to be renationalized, because it is the 'profiteering' mentality which tends to favour fossil fuels. Clearly there will be costs to the public purse, but we are already paying huge costs in the form of energy bills. With longer term planning and an economy deriving most of it's energy from the sun, energy costs will plummet to an all time low, not to mention the cleaner air and healthier environment! Many jobs would be created, especially during the main installation period and we could even manufacture new panels ourselves, creating further jobs and lowering costs. Come on Britain! Let's dare to dream a better future.

  • luvmydog.co.uk stop selling prong collars
    These collars have nasty spikes in them which dig into the poor helpless dogs neck. Pinch collars have a series of inward facing, metal prongs which are designed to tighten around the dog’s neck and cause pain and discomfort when tension is applied through the lead. It is animal cruelty and must be stopped. Luvmydog.co.uk could help us stand up against these cruel devices by stopping all sales and removing them from their site. RSPCA, the Dogs Trust and other organisations have already come out against them, see below. Now we call upon luvmydog to join them. https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/page/-/CBY/Joint%20statement%20ETDs%20and%20prong%20collars%20April%202014.pdf
