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.

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.

For close to a decade, Isabella cleaned ex-immigration MP Mark Harper's home for £22 per week - as well as a number of other politicians. When her undocumented status was revealed, she became a pawn in a political point scoring battle and the focus of a national media campaign which resulted in Mark Harper resigning. As none of the MPs that Isabella worked for were criminalised, the same spirit of kindness ought to be immediately extended to the hard working Acevedo family. We’re asking Theresa May, the Home Secretary, to do the honourable thing and grant citizenship to this lady and her family, whose lives have been turned upside down by this whole affair. Isabella Acevedo has since been forced into hiding, her family is being torn apart and they are facing destitution having lost their income. The hard working Acevedo family have spent close to 15 years in London - building a modest life. During this time, Isabella never had any sick pay, never had any holiday pay and earned less the minimum wage. Despite the difficulty, she was able to provide for her small family and create a home and life in London. All of this is now at risk of being destroyed as result of the damaging politics of Theresa May and Mr Harper. Please sign this petition and support the Acevedo family in their struggle to stay together, to keep a roof over their heads and food on their plates.

The Bombed Out Church is an Iconic Space in the City of Liverpool; it represents many of the struggles of the City over decades. It's not a simple a shell - It is a living, working monument to the people of Liverpool.

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.

Exit from Dalmahoy and Ratho (road opposite) onto A71 is life threatening and one day someone will die and then it will be too late. An offer of a SLOW DOWN sign is not good enough after 15 yrs of complaining.The morning rush hour traffic is horrendous with no one giving way and the cars pile up the roads on either side. Maybe someone could just try this out and see how they feel risking their lives just trying to get home.

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.

This public open space has been used by the local community for many years; to play on, to walk dogs on and to sit and enjoy the spectacular view across the valley to Gateshead. Many people living close by do not have the luxury of back gardens and rely on this space to generally enjoy a grassy open area. The open space has long been shared with Atkinson Road primary school who use it as a sports field for the children. The school have been 'gifted' the land by the council after recent budget cut backs by the council have stopped the regular maintenance of the land and grass cutting in the summer months. The school has now applied for planning permission to erect a 2.4m fence with locked access gates which will stop local people from enjoying the space and will effectively obscure the view from the top of the hill across the valley. This means the land will only be used during school hours in term time -about 6 months of the year- leaving it unused for the rest of the time and inaccessable to the public all of the time.

Fact 1. Londoners without property must pay a large and ever increasing proportion of their hard earned income to their landlord as rent. Fact 2. The market value of rent in London is generally far higher than the long term cost of property maintenance. Property owners in London therefore often have a rental income which is well above the cost of maintenance. How can that be morally justified? The rate of extortion from tenants to landlords has been steadily increasing for decades, to the point now where even middle income Londoners are increasingly being forced to leave their home town. Property ownership removes the need to pay rent, but why should it also give anyone the right to an unearned income? Limiting the maximum property rental in London to the average cost of maintenance would be a long term solution to the problem of accommodation costs in London. The incentive to buy would remain as the prospect of paying a large chunk of your salary every month into your own pocket rather than someone else's. The squealing which this would induce in rich win-win property investors would of course be deafening!

People are finding it hard to make ends meet and some times have to choose between eating and having medication. People with Parkinson's, asthma and other life changing illnesses are finding this difficult to deal with. Ministers claim that it is not possible for England to abolish the charges because it would leave the NHS with debts of £450million a year. However The BMA chairman Dr Hamish Meldrum said that the Government should abolish charges and that many of the exemptions were unfair Still England is the only one paying .

Firefighters in Wales “deeply concerned” about fire control merger proposals Firefighters in Wales have expressed their “deep concern” over proposals to merge the control room for Mid and West Wales with South Wales and relocate it to the headquarters of South Wales Police in Bridgend. Although a Welsh government panel was expected to reach a decision on funding for the project from its Invest-to-save fund on 20 February 2014, the Fire Brigades Union says it has not been informed of any decision. The union also said that it believed that the fire authorities of both South Wales as well as Mid and West Wales had passed the merger following a feasibility study at the end of last year. Fire Brigades Union executive council member for Wales, said: “Our highly-skilled control room members have proven time and time again that local knowledge saves precious time in responding to incidents. ”We are therefore deeply concerned about how the loss of a dedicated fire control room in Mid and West Wales will affect the service provided to local communities — and the future of our members. “The FBU in Wales has opposed this move from the outset and we have informed management of our serious concerns.”

It's important as greater numbers of people are being offered these contracts and a higher percentage of these people are young. If we don't provide decent working contracts for young people they have no hope for the future, and this is detrimental to a feel-good factor in an economic recovery. It is also treating people as commodities.
