• Decriminilize and regulate the supply, cultivation and consumption of cannabis
    Thousands of doctors and patients across the world have confirmed that cannabis is an effective medicine that can treat and cure a number of problems from aches and pains and sleeping problems to cancer. cannabis has a ridiculously small negaitive impact on communities compared to alcohol and tobacco. millions of pounds are spent every year by the police and courts processing 'criminals' found in possession of small amounts of cannabis. thousands of people are taking up space in prison for cannabis related 'crimes'. cannabis can cause significant amount more damage to peoples health when criminals are able to weigh it down with glass, plastic, sand and chemicals. hundreds of millions in tax could be collected yearly. tax made could be used to counter serious drug addiction. massive boost in tourism.

  • A Nationalized Bio Fuel Electrical Generating Organization
    For too long now the big six have monopolized power generation and so have had us held to ransom, yes there's a few small firms but they don't and can't really challenge their monopoly and the only true way to challenge them is with another large generating company and why not one that not only will be GREEN but also producing very cheap electricity for it's customers and producing funds for the Treasury yes a Nationalized one. I know that amongst many the word nationalized is a dirty word but look at the East Coast Rail Line nobody could make it work when it was privatized as soon as it became nationalized again it has made money and lot's of it sadly George Osborne thinks it will do the same privatized so he plans to sell it so I imagine it will go bust fairly quickly. The Bio Fuel Generating system that some have claimed in the past isn't green have been proved wrong on all counts, not least the fact that Sweden which is Scandinavia and Europe's Greenest country and which produces almost all it's electricity via Bio Fuel but Sweden isn't the only country Germany for instance also has a large number of Bio Fuel Generators, there are also a number of other countries in both eastern and western Europe using them. They produce cheap electricity this sounds like a dream claim but it's true simply because Bio Fuel Electricity can be produced from anything such as rubbish to poo and one of the by products is compost which can also be sold to keep the costs down. If you agree with me that it's about time that the people of this country deserve to be given the option of having cheap electricity that doesn't rely on outside influences then I hope you will sign my petition, sadly because of the way British politics are today if Parliament did introduce this it would probably start in England, but there is no reason why with a petition like this that the Welsh Assemble or the Scottish Parliament couldn't accept these proposals and go it alone so giving the people of Wales or Scotland the benefits and also seeing their coffers increase with the new wealth, so please sign my petition and let us get the country moving forward to a cheap, green future

  • No Confidence in UK Government
    Our country is being destroyed, our lower and middle classes are being victimized by a government that only cares about the wealthy and ensuring that that wealth is rewarded with more wealth that is taken from those of us who can least afford it. They continue to lie, cheat and steal from the British Public and from those that have worked their whole lives. They continues to put massive barriers in front of the people in this country who wish to work by taking tax credits from those who need it the most in order to survive. If this is allowed to continue the way that it is then the Britain we know will be lost to crony capitalism and we will never see it back again. Now is the time to act to get rid of the current government and start repairing the mistakes and incompetent leadership that we have been forced to endure. The only way that this can be done is to hold immediate elections and get the current government out of the way so that we can move on without their whoring our country out to the rich.

  • De-restrict childrens law legal aid
    What is more important than your children? What in the world is more important than children and their welfare. How can it be that in this day and age in this country a childs future can be decided on whether you can afford a lawyer or not? Faced with the daunting trauma of court proceedings regarding the future of your child, you know your ex-partner is not capable of giving a loving, caring upbringing to your child but they can afford representation and you cannot. You may come away with the right result, you may not. What is certain is that you are entering a fight with the odds stacked against you. This is not right! Children deserve to have their future decided fairly.

  • Close The 'Tax Gap'
    Our tax system is open to massive abuse by individuals and corporations of all sizes. Whilst the government works very hard to target those who supposedly milk the benefit system, they are less than vocal in their crusade against those who defraud the taxpayer by avoidance and non-payment of tax. It is time to close the tax gap.

  • Stop UCAS selling PRIVATE DETAILS of applicants to advertisers.
    Immoral! Not acceptable! Making money from this action. It's not their info to share, is it? "Access to the data of more than a million teenagers and students and thousands of their parents is being sold to advertisers such as mobile phone and energy drinks companies by Ucas, the university applications body. The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service received more than £12m last year in return for sending targeted advertising to subscribers as young as 16." Have a read of this for further details: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/mar/12/ucas-sells-marketing-access-student-data-advertisers More on David Willetts here: https://www.gov.uk/government/people/david-willetts

  • Protect vulnerable adults and children
    These emergency cards display emergency contact details for an appropriate adult, and health conditions including disabilities. The cards were designed with the intention of accompanied training several years ago in conjunction with the National Autistic Society and Police forces nationally, to prevent incidents I have personally had to endure. They are simply NOT enough, officers are proving hostile to third party involvement and they remain patrolling our streets unequipped to deal with disabled people. The Home Secretary has to take a proactive approach in providing adequate sources of standards fundamentally protected in legalisation.

  • NATIONAL APOLOGY
    This must lead to thousands of children returned to their birth parents. Thousands of children placed for fostering and adoptions are suffering psychological illness as a result of adoption targets based on fictional opinion. Forced adoptions are a gross-breach of human rights and social dangerous. HER MAJESTY has acknowledged a plan for a NATIONAL APOLOGY. The courts are waiting for a sucsessful response to this national call. Social workers managers also have the power to return children home. This new campaign is backed by undisputable research evidence. Dont allow the forms of holocaust to continue being listed at the International Criminal Court in the Hague. ACT NOW - JOIN THE CAMPAIGN.

  • 38 Degrees to propose positive ideas to improve voter engagement
    Please take up the challenge laid down by the Chair of the "Political and Constitutional Reform" committee (Graham Allen MP, pictured), to find a nuanced way of coming up with proposals of positive ways to improve democratic engagement. I think this would have to happen over a longer period of time than most 38 degrees campaigns (though the NHS campaign is an exception). This is following David Babbs' appearance before the "Political and Constitutional Reform" Committee on "Voter Engagement": http://blog.38degrees.org.uk/2014/03/21/38-degrees-in-parliament/ http://blog.38degrees.org.uk/2014/03/21/our-influence/ Such a campaign would have to put less weight on surveys and single votes, and more weight on facilitated discussions online (facebook, twitter, forums, blogs, real-time chats, collaborative documents on "Google Docs") and offline (local groups, writing guest blog entries, large gatherings) - perhaps by having a different small group take on a different issue. There are many ideas already on https://38degrees.uservoice.com/ and https://you.38degrees.org.uk/ so my proposed campaign would bring all those together as a starting point, and discuss them to form them in to a good set of proposals we can agree on to present back to the Select Committee.

  • Disabled Facilities Grants
    I am almost 62, have a serious heart condition and I need a disabled facility grant because I cannot get my electric wheelchair in the front door and I cannot turn the wheelchair in our narrow hallway in order to store it in our small front bedroom. I cannot get a disabled facility grant without paying my local council £4601 towards the grant it and I haven't got the money to do that. The DFG means test considers disabled people with an occupational pension have got more than they need to live on, But the means test ignores the fact that some disabled people may have a mortgage to pay, as we do and thus the means test discriminates against disabled mortgagees. The means test also expects carers to put their carer's allowance towards a grant for the disabled person they look after and this is discrimination against carers. It is also totally morally wrong.

  • Get more Beatles' shows on BBC radio, such as the Beatles and beyond show
    Although rock and roll came from the USA the Beatles made it possible for British performers to write and perform their own music, and therefore it is vitally important not to forget the important Beatles' legacy to British music.
