No one has ever done what he has done for us all with help from his volunteers x

Because food banks for the needy are running desperately low now many are choosing to use online food shopping to save putting themselves and others at risk of contracting the virus during Covid 19.

Children are our future. If they miss the basics in Primary school they will be unable to do well in further education and jobs. It is vital that they get extra help which is not possible in normal size classes. There are not enough special help teachers. Some children will need one on one help,others will cope in small groups but large classes cannot meet all the needs

Airlines at first offered cash refunds to customers whose flights have had to be cancelled due to the Coronavirus. But now they are going back on that promise and offering vouchers instead. There is obviously collusion as they have all announced this action together. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/apr/22/big-uk-airlines-and-travel-firms-denying-refunds-which-coronavirus https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52370158 At the same time, they are all applying for enormous levels of public funding to prop up their businesses during the lockdown. Sign the petition to demand that the government withhold public subsidies of the airlines until they honour their legal obligations to customers.

Taxpayers should not be funding an industry which contributes so massively to disrupting and threatening taxpayers' lives. Greenhouse gasses were at an all time high when most air travel was forced to come to a halt in March. There is evidence that the effects of the coronavirus are exacerbated by air pollution. And, most of all, the effects of climate change will do far more damage - both to the health of individuals and the economies of countries - than the coronavirus ever will. Nine million people are currently estimated to die every year due to air pollution. Experts believe there will be 150 million premature deaths by the end of the century due to air pollution alone. That's not to mention what climate change will do to our health systems, our economies, our food supply, to oceans and to wildlife. The taxpayer shouldn't be footing the bill for one of the main contributors to climate change.

It seems to me that the payment holiday being offered by banks and credit card lenders is a bit of an empty gesture. Yes it will allow customers to miss 3 months of payments without incurring additional charges for being unable to pay the monthly bill, but the interest on those payments will continue to accrue. In simple terms, these companies are making extra profit from their customers pandemic induced difficulties. this cannot be right, or fair.

The UK Government is providing a necessary and welcome package of financial measures to workers and business through the Covid-19 crisis – not least via the furlough job retention scheme. However, should financial bailouts be agreed for distinct business sectors, we believe that this should be conditional on a series of responsible tax conduct commitments. Such conditions would further embed responsible tax practices and help maintain a level playing field for business. Across the world, some £400 billion of global corporate profits are shifted annually to tax havens. In the UK, this manifests itself as an annual corporation tax shortfall of some £7 billion. We, the public, call on the UK Government to insist that businesses requesting a tax-payer funded bailout commit to a set of fair tax conditions, as put forward by the Fair Tax Mark in their ‘Fair Tax Lockdown’: 1. Publish a binding tax policy that explicitly shuns tax avoidance and the artificial use of tax havens, and commits to the declaration of profits in the place where their economic substance arises (i.e., no profit-shifting). This policy should be the subject of an annual compliance audit, and be “owned” by a designated board director.  2. Ensure that the consolidated annual profit & loss of the parent company is publicly available, together with details of associated corporation tax payments (total, current and deferred tax). Multinational enterprise should disclose this on a Country-by-Country basis. A current tax reconciliation should be provided, together with a narrative to explain any deviations from the headline tax rate(s). 3. Make clear who the ultimate beneficial owners of the business are, and those with significant control. We believe that these measures are fair, material and proportionate. If a business is not actively involved in tax avoidance, these conditions can quickly and easily be committed to.

This is very important because majority public do not have salaries and are jobless at the moment and have no income coming in but still have to spend on their day to day groceries and daily essentials. A majority of which are paid on credit cards. Millions of house holds rely on the credit card payments for all necessary items on a daily basis. Charging interest on their every day essential SPEND is crippling and unethical during this economically trying time. Majority of the house holds are struggling financially at the moment. If interest is levied this would help each individual financially to repay back with no interest charged on their credit cards. At the moment the credit card agencies are giving staggered payment facility BUT CHARGING interest on ALL outstanding balances. Government has imposed this on high street banks for all BANK CHARGES and similarly this should be done to credit card agencies.
