Many animals, particularly dogs and cats, are offered free to good home on these sites. They are often used in dog fighting rings as live bait, in order to train the fighting dogs. Some of these dogs are stolen and they have owners desperately searching for them. Many are sold for little money or given free, by people who want to find a good home for them. They are often duped into handing them over, to what they believe to be the perfect home. Often this is not the case. Selling sites should have a moral obligation to not allow animal to be given or sold on their sites. Sadly this is no the case, we would like the Animal health and welfare board to look at this, then put measures in place so that this can no longer happen. Sites MUST be responsible for what people sell on there, there is even a language code used in order to sell fighting dogs and acquire bait for them. It has to stop

Our son Harry is 4 years old and due to start school in September. Harry was diagnosed with autism and other co-morbid conditions last year, just weeks after his 4th birthday. Our aim in getting Harry’s diagnosis at such an early age was that going into education with a diagnosis would be his best chance at thriving in school. We have worked so hard over the last two years to integrate Harry into his big sisters primary school to get him ready for the incredibly hard transition he will face in September 2018 when he starts in reception. Harry has specific medical and social needs for needing to be at this specific school, this was stated on his primary application form and supported with multiple letters from his paediatrician. Harry will now have to go to a completely different school, with no friendly faces, an unfamiliar building and hallways and playgrounds. He won’t recognise the uniform or the reception staff. He won’t be surrounded by the professionals who have been involved in his care for two years. He will be a lost little four year old, who already faces daily battles to understand the world around him, thrown into a completely unknown situation, all on his own because his medical and social needs have been disregarded. Harry won’t be the first or last child to be let down by the school admissions system in such a way but please help me try to ensure that children’s social and medical needs are made a compulsory part of the admissions criteria for our schools.

We do not believe that the parents, staff and community at St Luke’s, Christ Church Streatham and St Leonard’s were consulted in a meaningful way, as is required by The Education and Adoption Act 2016. We believe the schools failed in their duty to consult parents, staff and the community in order to inform their decision about whether to convert to academy status: · Many parents were entirely unaware that the school was even considering converting to academy status, something that was due to have happened on April 1st, but has been delayed until May 1st, due in part to National Education Union action. · Where there were meetings with parents about the plans to academise, many parents felt academisation was presented as a foregone conclusion. Parents were led to believe that the governors had already decided and there was no choice but to academise. · We have seen no attempt to engage with parents for whom English is not their first language. · Some parents and staff were led to believe that the schools needed to academise to protect their Christian character – we know that the Christian character of the schools is under no threat as Lambeth maintained Church of England schools. · Staff were told that nothing would change – we know that terms and conditions for employees of the Southwark Diocesan Board of Education Multi-Academy Trust (SDBE MAT) will be worse than for those previously employed by Lambeth - we do not support the creation of a two tier workforce, where some staff have fewer rights than others. · Staff unions have raised many questions about the changes to the schools and staff terms and conditions after academisation, these questions have been ignored and remain unanswered. · Staff have asked for a meeting with Colin Powell (Chief Executive of SDBE MAT) and have had no response. Again, we call for the plans to convert St Luke’s, Christ Church Streatham and St Leonard’s primary schools to academies to be halted and demand that the consultation process begins again. We call for the following steps to be taken to inform a decision about whether or not the schools should academise: · Meaningful and accessible parent and community consultation should take place including: a series of well-publicised meetings, with translators for parents for whom English is an additional language, at different times of the day; the provision of written materials in the community languages of the three schools, explaining the perceived benefits and drawbacks of academisaiton and presenting it as an option, not a foregone conclusion. · An open meeting between staff and parents with Colin Powell (SDBE MAT Chief Executive). · A full and binding ballot of all staff and parents on whether to academise the three schools. We, the community, demand to be heard.

Barly Koyangbwa is a great helper. Originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Barly fled to the UK to seek refuge in 2013 after his family was targeted and members of his family were killed by the Kabila regime. Barly is a leading member of APARECO, the resistance movement against Kabila developed by Congolese refugees. He is named on the APARECO website as the representative in charge of mobilisations and strategy in Manchester, and as the Second Urban Representative of APARECO North West and most recently APARECO’s Executive appointed Barly as President of the Liverpool Branch. The Home Office accepts that those belonging to the categories of leader, office bearer and spokesperson for APARECO “are at real risk of persecution” and yet, on March 19th 2018 the Home Office refused Barly’s asylum claim.

The heritage of the city is one of its greatest assets and the unspoilt medieval street scape is a joy to all who live work and visit Norwich. The scheme will not solve local housing affordability issues, and there are thousands of unbuilt planning permissions in sites around the fringe of the city. Instead, the scheme will dwarf our historic city centre, displace many entrepreneurial and creative businesses and not deliver the sensitive regeneration we want and need. Support us in turning away London-style over-densification of our city.

Olya has followed all the advice given to her and her husband by the Home Office, and all she wants is to live with her family in Scotland. But now she faces deportation away from her home because of a technicality. They claim her Scottish husband didn't do enough to make Ireland his centre of life, as per the Home Office’s advice, before coming to Scotland. They also have a two-year-old daughter, Milana, who was born in Scotland. Sign the petition to tell the Home Office to drop their threats and let Olya and her family live in peace. Their life is in Scotland, their child is Scottish. Don’t rip them apart.

The Old Spotted Dog Ground, adjacent to the pub of the same name on Upton Lane in Forest Gate, has been home to Clapton Football Club since it played its first match there over 130 years ago in 1887. From May 1993, the sports ground and its 99-year lease have been controlled by a charity, Newham Community Leisure (NCL). From 2003, however, it has repeatedly failed to file accounts and the ground was effectively run as a private business, in breach of the charity's aims and objectives. A complaint was made to the Charity Commission as far back as 2013, but it has dragged on for years without resolution. Finally, in 2017, the Charity Commission ordered the NCL trustees to a meeting to provide evidence of how they made decisions about contracts, the charity's relationship with its main tenant Clapton FC and to answer concerns about conflicts of interest. A first meeting was cancelled due to “illness”. On the eve of a second attempt to hold this meeting, NCL announced it was going into liquidation and so the interview was postponed. Around the same time, it also emerged that a company with the same aims and objects as the charity had been quietly set up, presumably to take over after NCL had been wound up. Supporters of Clapton FC obtained an injunction against the liquidation in April 2017. Legal action against a charity requires the permission of the Charity Commission and so in July, a judge asked for their authorisation. Inexplicably, this was not provided until February 2018. The Charity Commission has also produced a report on the management of NCL, but despite repeated requests, it has still not published it. Now a further attempt has been made again close down NCL. This leaves the ground vulnerable to having its assets sold off and full control of the lease to remain in the hands of the people who have mismanaged the ground for the last 15 years. We say this historic and treasured local resource must return to the community – managed and cared for by a charity that is properly run by and genuinely seeks to benefit local residents. We call on Newham Council to support us in securing the future of the Old Spotted Dog Ground – and for the Charity Commission to release its investigation report on NCL immediately.

This is a local residential area and is an eyesore. The area is on a main road leading in and out of Hayle an looks awful for both residents and visitors. Hayle relies heavily on attracting tourists and this distracts from the hard work put in by locals and local community groups such as Hayle in bloom who work hard to make the town look attractive. Now that the boarding is down the site is also open and is a health and safety hazard. Clean it up now!

CBD is a legal product to sell and is an amazing health supplement! Despite this, PayPal have taken an anti-business stance that won't allow CBD product sales from certain businesses. PayPal states it "breaks the terms of its policies", however fails to show or explain where this is stated. Additionally you can use PayPal to buy CBD oil via a website owned by PayPal's parent company? A small farmer or oil producer can really benefit from the use of PayPal for their business, so you can't help but feel maybe they are being targeted and this is not right. I believe it's important for us all to do our part in stopping this from happening, please help by signing this petition and sharing with your friends. Thank you all!

Because this recording will afford the Rivers Of Blood speech the gravitas it deserves.

This would result in further bloodshed, and is a risk to world (relative) 'peace'. It is also difficult to see how this is in our national interest.
