It will end the current difficulty and indecision on Remain/ Brexit debate

The festival is celebrated annually in Yulin, Guangxi, China, during the summer solstice in June, by eating dogmeat and lychees. About 10,000 to 15,000 dogs are consumed during the 10 days of the festival. This number has decreased to 1,000 in 2015. This festival needs to end. At least one thousand dogs are murdered brutally every year for simply sport. It's disgusting to kill any animal in general but dogs are pets! The sweetest pets you'll ever meet! This is disgusting and could easily be lived without. Not to mention they don't even know what's happening. These innocent dogs just want to help and love and are instead being sold, hunted, tortured, killed and eaten. This has to end. If you want this to end also then please sign this petition! It's a sick "festival" That really says a lot about the people living in these cities.

Because It is wastefull.

War on plastic

Save lives and or injury to others.

My beloved first wife died in 2012 with Alzheimer's disease. Since then I have volunteered for Admiral Nurses (an NHS Charity) who care for dementia sufferers and their carers. I have witnessed many times the unjust provision of social care in England that adds financial worries to people who are already distressed. The worry of not being able to afford good social care for a loved one and of having to sell one's home to pay for social care, imposes a great additional stress on the carer. The great strain and stress experienced by carers of dementia patients is well documented, as is the effect of stress on mental health. As Minister of Health you have the power and responsibility to provide good affordable social care in England, to eliminate unnecessary financial worries associated with social care and dementia, and to improve the health and well-being of those cared for and their carers. Today in the UK there are 800,000 people with dementia. Most, ~98% are over 65 years old with about 18,000 people aged 30 to 64 years. People who are unlucky and develop dementia are faced with annual costs for social care of £15,000 to £50,000. For all but the very wealthy, social care costs are at the least a severe problem. For many the costs can be disastrous. Each year in the UK about 128,000 people have to sell their homes to pay for social care. All people with dementia, regardless of age, deserve good affordable social care. Risks of loss of, or damage to, homes, or cars etc., are spread across those who own them by insurance. But there is no insurance that spreads the risk of the financial consequences of acquiring dementia. Sir Andrew Dilnot’s Report on Social Care, commissioned by the Coalition government in 2010, recommends ways to provide good social care that avoid impoverishing those who need it. Since 2011 the UK government has several times postponed implementing the main recommendation of the Dilnot Report, a cap on social care costs of £35,000. As a consequence some people are still having to sell their homes to pay for social care. In the 9 years since The Dilnot Report, the UK government has singularly failed to address the inadequate, unfair, and unsustainable current provision of social care. During this period of continued inaction more than half a million dementia patients have died. The Institute of Public Policy Research's comprehensive reform package for social care[Pinner and Hochlaf IPPR May 2019] includes fully funded free personal care for over 65's. This can be paid for by modest increases in National Insurance(~1.3%), or in Income Tax(~2.1%). The IPPR reform package spreads the financial risks associated with over 65's needing social care across the working population, but does not address the problems face by younger people. The UK Government must tackle immediately the inadequate, unfair provision of social care, by building on the IPPR proposed reforms to include the minority of younger people who suffer with dementia. As Minister of Health you have the power and the responsibility to improve the quality of life for hundreds of thousands of people with dementia, young and old, and their carers, and to ensure that no-one will ever have to sell their home to pay for Social Care. Exercise your powers with compassion now.

Currently many of us struggling to get a pre-bookable appointment with our GP within 3-4 weeks. Appointments are given out on a 'first come, first served basis' at 8 a.m. Monday to Friday and clearly there's not enough to go round because if you are lucky enough to get through on the phone, then most of these appointments have gone by 8.30. In addition to this our local walk in centres have been closed. So what do you do if you are unlucky enough to fall ill outside of designated hours? Be prepared for a very long wait! If you phone 111 you are directed either to A&E or meddoc. Recently there have been several accounts of A&E triaging patients straight across to meddoc (even some of those taken in by ambulance) with those patients suffering severe consequences and in some cases nearly dying, as they get bounced backwards and forwards between a&e and meddoc. On one occasion whilst we were waiting with my daughter to be seen by meddoc, a man collapsed in front of us and the crash team had to be called. He had just been triaged by a&e and sent across to meddoc! Sadly this isn't an isolated incident either. Many people in Medway have experiences to tell of their loved ones nearly dying because of inadequate care and resources. This includes stories of cardiac arrests, sepsis and brain injuries. Staff work flat out but there just aren't enough of them and they are trying to meet unrealistic targets set by the government. Those that actually make it through triage and are deemed serious enough to not be referred to meddoc can then expect a 12 hour plus wait on Lister ward, where doctors and nurses are run off their feet and there isn't so much as a water machine for patients. I experienced this myself with a suspected pulmonary embolism four days after a total knee replacement operation. I can tell you that spending 12 hours trying to sit with your knee bent or stand for hours after a total knee replacement is excruciating! On that occasion there were many elderly and disorientated patients needing care that were simply left on chairs (if they were lucky) in a cramped, airless waiting room or in dark corridors, with no access to water. This is becoming a desperate and untenable situation. I for one am genuinely afraid that should one of my family fall ill and need emergency care that they may too end up being in the middle of the meddoc waiting room with a crash team around them, simply because there aren't enough doctors and too many targets to be met. It's time for this currently flawed and failing system to be reviewed and effective strategies put in place. We need our current government to listen and do what Boris Johnson promised the public over Brexit, which was to invest much needed funds into the NHS.

On 8 March a teenager was fatally stabbed near where I live. I wrote to the Queen, the prime minister and my MP with 11 specific suggestions for dealing with the emergency including 'spend whatever is necessary because saving lives is more important than reducing the National Debt'. Neither the Queen nor the PM replied to me but I gathered that my letters to them were forwarded to the Home Office. Only my MP replied. Since then I have exchanged numerous letters and emails with officials at Buckingham Palace and the Home Office. It seems to me that none of the people to whom I wrote or emailed, except my MP, actually read my 11 suggestions. Instead I got standard letters telling me government policy, with which I was already familiar. I feel I had wasted my time.

For over 700 years the name William Wallace has brought about pride in who we are... In that time we have created monuments to his name seen films made about his life.. But have yet to celebrate the man with a day dedicated to his life and the selfless sacrifices he endured to protect and safeguard Scotlands future and sovereignty pay in the end with his own life....

We are living in the 21st Century. Against the backdrop of #MeToo, gender advancement and increased LGBT+ inclusion, disability rights continually are left behind as the poor relation of societal oppression when it is part of the same struggle for liberation. It is, for example, frustrating to see venues hold celebratory 'Pride' when a number of participants are excluded from taking part due to access issues. The request, therefore, that venues sign and state in respect of disabled access is an attempt to promote a dialogue that leads to change

It is sending a wrong message to young women / girls about nudity and self imaged.

If London Councils adopted such a plan, there would be a massive boost towards a cleaner urban environment
