  • stop advertising of all gambling incuding the lottery
    Many people are on a very low salary or living on benefit. These are the people who are most at risk when gambling products are advertised on TV, the internet and in newspapers using essential funds to play poker or betting in an effort to break out of the poverty trap with almost zero chance of achieving that goal. By showing advertisements that give the impression that gambling could be the way out of poverty and towards a world of riches is immoral.

  • Ask Accent to stop selling Coyote Fur
    Canada Goose is a Canadian outdoor clothing company who uses real coyote fur as trim on the hoods of their parkas. Despite the fact that the majority of Canadians abhor the use of fur, Canada Goose actually celebrates the trapping and killing of wildlife for unnecessary, decorative fur trim. In an effort to sway the public, Canada Goose has a “fur policy." Unfortunately the statements made in this “policy” are not intended to inform the discussion on fur, but rather misinform the public with the sole purpose of carrying on with ‘business as usual’. Most Canadians already know that the fur trade is inherently violent, and that fur products derived from this violence are also inherently frivolous

  • Remove firearms licence from UKIP leader.
    Badger culls are not policed by anyone, the police when pushed on any breaches in guidelines (meaning a criminal offence has taken place) will refer complainants to Natural England who in turn do nothing. It's time the police to show they are neutral and not as evidenced time and again an actual pro-cull organisation.

  • SAVE ALTON'S RECYCLING CENTRE
    We all want to protect our environment. We want to do the "right thing' and stop stuffing our rubbish into the ground or burning it in incinerators - that's why we all want to recycle more. With planned cuts to Altons' Household Waste Recycling Centre opening times, and new charges for certain types of waste, we are already seeing an increase in flytipping. There have been reports on the Alton News Facebook Page, and the recent BBC South programme 'Inside Out' showed the scale and cost of the problem (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07v6yk6/inside-out-south-19092016). If we lose our recycling centre in Alton, we could be faced with a journey to Bordon or Petersfield and we would see a further increase in the amount of flytipping. Please sign our petition today, to send a clear message to Hampshire County Council that we do not want our Recycling Centre to close. Thank you

  • Eliminate UK Homelessness
    In the 21st century, in one of the richest countries in the world we shouldn’t have people who don't have shelter, one of the most basic necessities of human life. Homelessness is wrong, we should end it now. I took this video about eight months ago, this lady is still homeless https://youtu.be/DnWwzxcTX-U. Eliminating homelessness sounds impossible, but it’s not. This Government report (https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/7596/2200485.pdf) in 2012 identified that there were 40,000 homeless people, both people living on the street and those living in inadequate temporary accommodation. That's a lot of people, too many, but it is less than one person in 1,000, which makes it perfectly manageable. It cost us £1bn a year to keep those people, £25,000 per person. That’s daft, to spend £25,000 a year, about an average salary, and not even manage to provide decent accommodation, in some cases provide no accommodation. The reason for homelessness is simple, there aren't enough homes. If there were enough homes nobody would be homeless. It is said that homeless people have other problems, issues with drugs, alcohol, mental health, family breakdown, sometimes just bad luck. That is probably true, but it's not a reason why we should add not having a home to their problems. The solution isn't even expensive, in fact in the long run it would save us money. If we built the homes then that £25,000 a year would pay for them in less than ten years, in the long run it would save us money. There is an international organisation called Housing First http://www.homeless.org.uk/our-work/national-projects/housing-first-england which has pioneered the approach of first providing homes and then supporting people's other needs, it works. This isn't just about homeless people, it affects us all. Increasing numbers of people have no prospect of buying a home because they are too expensive, the alternative is renting but rents are also steadily rising. A housing shortage helps to fuel the increasingly unaffordable cost of housing for all of us. Homelessness is the sharp tip of an iceberg we’re all scraping against. Please sign this petition to ask the Government to act to end homelessness.

  • Stop Bounty on the maternity wards
    Bounty are a commercial organisation and have for too long been allowed free access on to the wards of maternity hospitals. They are allowed to walk on to the wards even during times when the patients familys and friends can't even be there. They are allowed to open curtains on wards and go into bedrooms regardless of how vulnerable these women and babies are. It's an imposition on women and babies on the wards and it's appalling that it has been just accepted as standard. No one should have this kind of access that isn't there on a medical basis. Please share your stories if you wish. Let's see just what a negative impact this is on pregnant and postnatal mothers and how much of an imposition this is on women and their birthing experience. Thank you

  • Cambridge City Council - Stop messing about on the river
    Houseboats are homes. The boating community adds tremendous character and value to the city, and living off grid provides affordable alternative housing when the housing market is in such a dire state. Making people homeless at this moment in time would be disastrous for them and further harm the social fabric of Cambridge. The report mentions that the Canals and Rivers Trust uses license auctions, but doesn't mention the outcry and misery which this caused, clear from the responses to the consultation on the matter. https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/media/library/8759-mooring-sales-consultation-report.pdf

  • Save Belgrave Library
    Belgrave library is the most used neighbourhood library in Leicester with over 200,000 visitors each year. It also provides much needed services such as basic computer courses, a daily homework club and toddler time. One parent said, 'If the library goes, how will my children do their homework?'. The council plans to close Belgrave library and move some services into the already busy Neighbourhood Centre. As well as losing library services, this plan puts Neighbourhood Centre services, such as the lunch club at risk. The library is the heart of our community, a space where all sections of the community meet and find out what is happening locally. Closing the library would have a massive impact on children, older people, the BME community, those who need language support, the socially isolated and those on low incomes. Save our library - whatever it takes...

    Andrew Bingham MP – say NO to Grammar Schools Theresa May wants to bring back Grammar Schools to divide our children and make them travel even further to school. We call on our MP, Andrew Bingham, to say NO to Grammar Schools. We want Education not Segregation. We think all school children should be given the opportunity to flourish and be the best they can, not just the chosen few. All children should be given equal opportunities and an elitist education system is not the answer. Please sign our petition to make our MP listen to his constituents. We don't want Grammar Schools!
