Why should these animals be treated like this when it has been proven that they are not doing any harm. It costs £5-6 thousand to kill a badger but only £700 to vaccinate it, so why cull?

An undiagnosed person with a hidden difference such as dyslexia or other commonly experienced a sense of not really knowing who you are.If nobody tells the person that there is a reason for their difficulties, there is a tendency to label themselves as dumb, thick and stupid. The difficulties can become harder to manage in secondary school and when children begin to fail they can become very vulnerable and on edge. These feelings can stay throughout life. The frustration of prolonged failure on a range of curriculum subjects at school, resulting in feelings of insecurity and lack of confidence, can have profound effects upon social status, friendship patterns, and acceptance and adjustment in new settings. Aggressive and antisocial behaviour may result from these tensions. Stress and insecurity can lead to a prominence of information processing difficulties. When dealing with problems, may adopt strategies of avoidance and self blaming. To the person who experiences them, these emotions often feel bewildering and shaming. Inevitably the emotional consequences are lack of confidence, frustration, even depression. Feeling of been let down by other people who should have recognised the difficulties or be more sympathetic to them; that they have consequently lost opportunities for study having a diagnoses this could of been avoid with a simple diagnosis which is important it allow a child / adult to understand where the difficulties lie and if there are any further difficulties overlapping and this is necessary for the correct accommodation. Despite everything we know about dyslexia through research, many children are denied screening. And many more, once diagnosed,are denied the services that should accompany such a diagnosis." School’s reason for denial . • Wrongly points to the limited resources (financial or expertise) of the child’s school. But that is not the entire picture. Putting aside appropriate resource challenges, the educational change necessary to support this vulnerable group of students often transcends financial issues. In fact, some (not all) of the most significant changes are actually free and actually only require instructional and attitudinal shifts. No wonder no one wants to diagnose children when there is a shortage of individuals trained to Provide with necessary instruction. • Lack intervention causes depression anxiety and suicide. • Lack of of proper intervention can affect future Job prospects, and behaviour which can lead to the prison pipeline. We want to enable those with children / adults to reach their potential to develop in the work force. Parents often delay getting their kids the help they need because the school denies screening for diverse reasons . Unfortunately, if they get it the “wait and hope” approach is rarely effective and has a costly impact on children: Navigating the public school bureaucracy to secure special attention often takes months or years. Meanwhile, children are falling further behind during the critical early-education period. Public school teachers, principals and staff are well-intentioned, but the system is broken. Most schools don’t have the resources . Waiting for the school to test and treat your dyslexic child is a “race to the bottom” and an enormous disservice to your language-challenged child. By the time your child is far enough behind to qualify for a public school evaluation, you have a bigger problem on your hands. What was a manageable academic challenge for your 1st grader can turn into a significant emotional and social problem by the 3rd grade. You are likely to hear your child say things like “I’m never going to get this,” “All my friends read better than I do,” “I hate this,” “School is not for me,” “I’m stupid.” Children with Dyslexia Despraxia Abergers.... do not “catch up” without specialized and explicit instruction. Such children don’t “just need a little extra practice” or a tutor; they need a specific type of teaching designed for the unique learning patterns of the brain. Some students often treat every word as a sight word and memorize it, instead of using the word’s structure to decode and understand it. Later in life , demands, this memorization strategy will fail them. While you are hoping for dyslexia help from the school, your child is losing ground—falling behind with reading and writing skills that are fundamental to all learning. Many school teachers and administrators wish they could provide more help for struggling, but they lack resources and training to do so. Few parents understand what they are getting themselves into if they try to navigate the school system as an academic lifeline for their struggling student. Many with hidden disabilities may not recognise their difficulties as Dyslexia Dyspraxia Asbergers or other.... . Even if they understand the nature of their difficulties, they may not know how to present these in a way that allows other people to help them. In the end, the anxiety about the difficulties is as much the problem as the actual difficulties themselves and a vicious circle of anxiety and inefficiencies evolves from which there seems no escape.A lack of school, job or social success is likely to add to this emotional burden . A diagnosis is an understanding of the difficulties, by and large, brings a sense of relief even wellbeing , as all the bewildering inefficiencies can be brought into a consistent picture and this helps to explain problems in a clear and confident way. key to Dyslexia Dyspraxia and Asbergers ..... is Early intervention know one should go unnoticed. http://www.counselling-directory.org.uk/counsellor-articles/dyslexia-counselling-addressing-the-emotional-repercussions-12385 Help make change for an child or an adult!

Quite simply not fair, the rules should be the same across the UK.

The safety of all our children is paramount! Please don't wait until there has been an accident - I've seen several near misses myself!

Resistance to antibiotics has risen to 20% of cases. The rise of antibiotic resistant super strains of tuberculosis is global and threaten a return to Victorian levels when whole streets of children were infected and many died. We need a review of international treatment protocols and mass inoculation of our children. Inoculation is not affective after puberty.

He upheld the highest traditions of the UK police, in that he put the safety of the public and his sworn duty before his own safety, in attempting to stop an armed man whilst unarmed himself. He carried out that duty and payed the ultimate price in doing so.

Hengrove Park is the largest open recreational space in South Bristol, and an important resource used by the local community for sports and leisure activities. But Bristol Council wants to drastically reduce it in size by concreting over the majority it for housing - which will result in part of this precious resource being lost forever. The park is currently 76 hectares in size, but the proposed development of around 1700 houses would build on 45 hectares of it - reducing it in size by more than half. The green space left will be considerably smaller and fragmented, and a shadow of the current amenity. Parks must be protected for communities and future generations, and the Council needs to understand how passionately people feel about public assets being sacrificed for development. Local councillors recently blocked a move to build this increased number of houses, and the council's proposal is being referred to a special meeting on Monday March 27th 4pm at the Council House, College Green, Bristol, which could overturn their attempts to block the expanded development. They urgently need our support.

This man should have a permanent memorial at the Houses of Parliament.

Some branches of Subway, the chain of sandwich shops, recruit staff to be so-called "Apprentice Sandwich Artists" - often for less than £4 an hour, sometimes for as long as 14 months. By claiming that the staff are apprentices, bosses avoid paying the legally required minimum wage. But these aren't real apprenticeships. Young people hired as apprentices are doing almost exactly the same work as their co-workers who are paid at the legal minimum or above. It's not a training scheme, its exploitation.

Theresa May has begun the process of Britain leaving the European Union. This raises the question of the rights of EU nationals presently living in Britain, who make a huge contribution to our society. The government has refused to guarantee these rights, saying it will wait until there is a deal involving British nationals who live in the rest of Europe. But people are not bargaining chips. The government’s attitude means terrible insecurity for EU nationals and their families. EU nationals who have come to live or work or study in Britain should have their rights guaranteed now —full rights, indefinitely. Anything else means that at least some people will be forcibly removed from Britain, families torn apart, valuable workers lost and there will be even more restrictions on those who are allowed to stay. Already any EU national applying for proof of residency must now show they have been living and working in Britain for the past five years. They are required to provide documents for every occasion they have left Britain in that period. Those who have not been working must reportedly show they took out comprehensive health insurance—a requirement that was little known until recently. The government’s refusal to grant workers’ rights is already hitting key services. Only 96 nurses joined the NHS from other European nations in December 2016 – a drop from 1,304 in July that year. This comes at a time when there are 24,000 nurse vacancies unfilled and the government’s withdrawal of bursaries for trainee nurses is making matters worse. The government must guarantee EU nationals full rights now.

HM Inspectorate of Constabulary, the Chief Fire Officers' Association and the British Medical Association are among many warning of the potential collapse of our emergency services due to funding cuts. This issue affects all of us; the attack could have occurrred anywhere in the country. Fulsome words of praise from politicians are simply not sufficient. The best tribute which could be paid to PC Keith Palmer and all his colleagues is urgent action to fund the emergency services so that they are adequately resourced to deal with potential terrorist attacks.

Recognise this brave man's sacrifice on behalf of freedom and democracy. PC Keith Palmer tragically died, tackling the terrorist who attacked Parliament. He may fade from the headlines in the weeks and months to come, but renaming the gate after him will be a lasting tribute to someone who acted to protect all of us. This wasn't just a man doing his job, when Keith was called upon he took the decision to stand up for all of us, he went forward rather than running backwards. Renaming the gate at Parliament would cost nothing, but the gesture and memory of British bobby Keith Palmer's bravery will last for hundreds of years.
