Fergus Wilson, a major buy-to-let landlord in Kent, has recently openly declared that he will not rent to people based on the colour of their skin “because of the smell of curry”. He also refuses to rent to single parents, victims of domestic violence, workers on low incomes, families with children, pet owners, smokers and single adults. It it frankly unbelievable that in this day and age a landlord is legally allowed to discriminate like this, and we demand that the minister for housing stamps out this behaviour as soon as possible. Fergus Wilson and other landlords like him seem to think that we’re still living in feudal times, it’s time our laws caught up with the current century and this behaviour was made illegal.

So it's not so scary when it first happens and it will promote good health and hygiene information for them also encourage young girls to talk about it. Also give them a choice of which products suit them. Everyone is different and will need different products. So much choice out there and it can be daunting. This would ensure all girls are treated the same from the start with the same information to help them too.

I committed three armed robbery's at the age of 16 this was due to my circumstances, which were that I was homeless, had no family or friends to turn to, On drugs and had my life threaten with death if i didn't do it. I put myself in prison because it was the safest place for me i couldn't turn to anyone for help i was completely alone. during my time inside i begun to see the error of my ways and don't commit crime anymore but yet these mistakes were made in a most stressful and desperate time in my life i shouldn't have to pay all my life for a mistake i made when i was 16 i didn't hurt anyone i didn't kill anyone i stole from a business now this itself the reason i did it now this small change will give thousands of people a second chance a chance to be somebody were refused thousands of jobs each year because of our criminal records and i think this small change would be a second chance to help reduce offending if prisons know before there release that if they behave then their is a second chance

SimSimi has quickly become one of the U.K.’s most popular apps. Yet, this chat-box is often used to bully others. In fact, it allows users to anonymously programme a series of messages – regardless of how abusive, violent or explicit these may be – so that they are received by the targeted victim as soon as s/he logs into the app and searches their name. Due to the anonymity of these messages, it is next to impossible to hold bullies accountable. For these reasons, schools and even police forces in the U.K. have had to resort to sending letters to parents in order to warn them about the app. Even though SimSimi is restricted to people who are 17 years old or older, many children who are much younger than that have been able to download it. Most parents are unaware of the fact that ‘Simi Simi’ is dangerous for their children and that they could be at risk of bullying, which is bound to have serious implications on them. SimSimi must be banned before it causes even more damage. A few years ago the website Ask.fm was banned – but only after a few teenagers had committed suicide following the bullying they experienced using it. We must be quicker this time to ensure the same does not happen again.

The morale of the NHS staff is at a low ebb and hardly surprising considering how unfairly they are treat compared to other employments. Where else would they condone the loss of holiday entitlements without compensation/remuneration? In this day and age it is a scandal. Our NHS are losing staff and it's hardly surprising. We need to support them and stand up for the abominable disparity that exists between working conditions in the public and private sector. No one, in this day and age, would condone the loss of almost a full weeks holiday entitlement due to staff shortages. We need our NHS staff, this is only one, of many, injustices we need to rectify.

It's important because there are a shortage of accommodation for the general community, an feel it is wrong to build for student accommodation, as there is a majority of building developments city wide more than enough and not enough for families in that area

Houston Farm provides riding lessons and for all ages, including special needs and disabled children, many of whom have ridden with the Comries for years and very much treat the riding school as a second home. The Comries have provided a safe haven for many Adults and children where the horses have helped provide personal challenges, develop responsibilities and support in times of hardship such as bereavement. The Comries have provided work experience to Oatridge college students and equine experience for the many children and adult helpers. The Comries run regular Pony Clubs, fairs and Ceilidh’s and other fund raising activities to support the retired horses and other charities such as Red Nose Day and is very much more than just a business. Houston Farm cannot be allowed to close, it is too important and provides so much benefit to so many people, of which many are local.

Wandsworth Council is allowing developers to push through planning for this historic building to be demolished before Special Protection for pubs in the borough is introduced in August. North Battersea is already going through extensive change, with excessive development taking place. The local community demands that adequate amenities and services are provided. Otherwise the area risks losing its appeal as a leafy suburb and will become nothing more than a high rise dormitory.

The Bank of England is weighing up whether to use palm oil or coconut oil in their new banknotes. Palm oil plantations are currently a leading cause of rainforest destruction, destroying the homes of endangered Orangutans who are treated like pests and killed to aid the palm oil industry. The Bank of England faces a simple decision, to use destructive palm oil, or opt for a more sustainable alternative such as coconut oil. This decision could have a ripple effect in other countries too as they follow suit and produce new types of bank notes.

It is unfair and discriminatory for Court staff, Judges, Barristers, Solicitors, and court users, particularly those with children. It will have a detrimental impact on well-being and diversity at the Bar and Judiciary. It is hard enough for parents at the Bar to make it work. It jeopardises work-life balance. It is impractical and fails to take account of the cab-rank rule, listing practices, and that lawyers need time to prepare their cases and travel to and from court. Overall, all those working in the courts deserve to have a good work/life balance, and the ability to see their children. This should not be forced upon lawyers, Judges and Court staff. This is a regressive step and a barrier to greater diversity in the profession and on the bench and in particular will be a further obstacle to the retention of women.

Children with emotional, behavioural and learning difficulties are being denied an education. In BANES (Bath and North East Somerset) there is currently only one EBD (Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties) Unit for primary age children. It offers places for just six children. The future of this Unit is now under threat and it is expected to close in the summer of 2018. The decision about the future of the Unit will be made in the next couple of months. I am the mother of Winnie who started at the school in January 2017. Winnie is a lively, bubbly, charismatic nine year old girl who also has social, emotional and learning difficulties. My daughter has the ability to learn but she needs a lot of encouragement and support to help her with this. Since moving to St Michael's she has flourished. She is receiving the support she needs. We have seen huge progress in her behaviour at school. She is playing with other children again, she is listening to the adults and she is starting to read and write and show an interest in the world around her. And we are starting to see the bright bubbly girl who had disappeared in to a shell of hostility, emerge again. The school understands her. They have the skills and experience to manage her behaviour and they have found a way to encourage her to learn. Gaining a place at the school wasn't easy. We had to fight for it because its is the only school in the area that offers this type of support. Prior to this she attended a special school. During her time there she regressed in every single way, emotionally, socially, behaviourally and academically. Although a lovely and well respected school, it’s strength lies in dealing with severely disabled children, not children like Winnie. There is very limited provision for children like Winnie within the education system. Many mainstream schools do not even return your calls when you phone to enquire about SEN (Special Educational Needs) places. Children with additional/special needs affect Ofsted ratings. Gaining a place at St Michael's wasn't easy. We had to fight for it. And now we have been informed that due to cuts in government funding and the increasing pressure on schools to meet government targets, the St Michael’s school governors feel it is no longer viable to run the Unit as part of the mainstream school. There is nowhere for children like Winnie to go. What will happen to these children? What will their future's hold? Surely in the long-run denying them an education will cost the government far more? Children like Winnie have potential. They may not grow up to be brain surgeons or stock market traders, but they do face a bright future if they are given the right support while they are young. Denying them this support is denying them a future. These children deserve an education. Without an education they have no future. This is a petition to save the St Michael’s EBD Unit. It is also a plea to the government to not forget these children and to provide them with the help and support they not only need, but above all else deserve.
