• EU: Don't force Britain into quick 'Brexit'
    Following the surprise 'Leave' vote in the EU referendum, Britain is in a state of turmoil. Prime Minister David Cameron has resigned, and there is a good chance of there being a general election soon. The 'leave' vote for EU referendum had a tiny majority, and a good half of the country's population are unhappy with the way things are proceeding. The Liberal Democrats and Scottish National Party have declared that they will oppose any attempt to have Britain leave the EU. Should they prove victorious in a general election, then this dangerous slide towards Brexit may come to an end. On the end hand, if the British public re-elect the Pro-Brexit Tories, then their desire will also be known. This petition calls on the EU to be patient and not force Britain into making any hasty moves until more clarity about the country's future has been obtained.

  • Free vote in parliament to decide whether (or not) to leave the EU
    It is now very clear that the implications of leaving the EU are much more damaging for the living standards of UK citizens that many people who voted to leave were led to believe. Many voted out of frustration at government and the unfairness in the country without perhaps realising how dire the consequences of leaving the EU would be for many people in the UK - especially the most vulnerable. MPs took the lead in voting to abolish capital punishment despite contemporary public opinion in favour of its continuance. Now is the time for them to take the lead again and act to save us all from a colossal folly.

  • Legalise Cannabis
    Now that we are no longer in the EU we as a nation need to secure more jobs, more revenue and most of all keep our health services up to date with the latest research and advanced technologies available. All over the world studies are proving that cannabis is a very effective form of treatment for hundreds if not thousands of illnesses from back pain to cancer. We recently had a petition that got a response based on out dated information and biased opinions, we are calling our government to base their response on their own personal views based on up to date research and information. The legalisation of cannabis has provided millions of dollars to states in the US. Money which is being used to better their health services, educational systems and much more, why are we not joining in the movement? Legalising Cannabis will help us thrive as a nation through production of hemp products, sales of the herb and mainly help the ill and pained people of the UK. Give us our freedom, end the war on cannabis today!

  • Investigate allegations that Boris Johnson used the EU Referendum for personal gain
    At the very least this is an unacceptable and serious breach of conduct in terms of the standards of Public Life and NOLAN principles contained in the Standards of Conduct for Public Office. Potentially, this also represents a criminal waste of public resources, and even irreparable damage to the country. NOLAN Principles: 1. Selflessness: Holders of public office should act solely in terms of the public interest. 2.Integrity Holders of public office must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work. They should not act or take decisions in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships. 3.Objectivity Holders of public office must act and take decisions impartially, fairly and on merit, using the best evidence and without discrimination or bias. 4.Accountability Holders of public office are accountable to the public for their decisions and actions and must submit themselves to the scrutiny necessary to ensure this. 5.Openness Holders of public office should act and take decisions in an open and transparent manner. Information should not be withheld from the public unless there are clear and lawful reasons for so doing. 6.Honesty Holders of public office should be truthful. 7.Leadership Holders of public office should exhibit these principles in their own behaviour. They should actively promote and robustly support the principles and be willing to challenge poor behaviour wherever it occurs.

  • Accepting the EU Referendum result
    This issue is so important for our country. We are a democracy. It is vital that we accept and respect democratically made decisions, no matter how divisive the underlying issues driving those decisions. Holding a second referendum purely in response to the losing side being unhappy with the initial outcome would be damaging and divisive for our society. It would make a mockery of the democratic process and create still deeper divisions. Emotions in the Remain camp were sure to run high in the event of their losing the Referendum vote. 16 million people voted to Remain. The vast majority will feel they should respect the outcome of the democratic process, even if they do not agree with that outcome. However, it is not right or just that a diehard minority of disatsfied Remainers should attempt to force a second referendum purely on their disagreeing with the outcome of the first vote.

  • Call a General Election in two years when the terms for Brexit are known
    We have all voted with very little knowledge of what our relationship with the rest of Europe - and the rest of the world - will be like if we leave the EU. The two sides in the referendum campaign had wildly different views. We need another vote when these terms have become clearer, or we will be taking a massive leap in the dark.

    Many of us bought property on the basis that we had the right to travel, work and live in other parts of the EU. That right is under treat through no fault of ours.

  • cctv-on-wayford-street
    A young 18 year old was murdered on Thursday, on this street at 4. pm. This young man was a keen footballer. Kitandwe, who played football for Colliers Wood, had been on trials with the Uganda under-17s team. He studied at South Thames College and previously attended nearby St John Bosco College. His friends described him as "lovely, caring and funny" and said the attack happened as he was returning from college.

  • Make David Cameron Sign article 50 now
    The people told him their wishes and he needs to act on it now. He doesn't have the right to postpone it. He only wants to postpone it so he is not the Prime Minister who took us out of the EU.

  • Tell Newham Council: We want our money back from Barclays and RBS!
    Did you know that the equivalent of 80% of your council tax goes on loan interest? Barclays and RBS sold Newham Council a bet on interest rates using loan deals called LOBOs - and they lost. That means £50 million in interest a year which could be used for: - Surestart centres - Community centres - Schools - Street cleaners - New council housing ...but instead that £50 million in interest is going to greedy banksters. Our legal advisers say that Newham's mayor, Sir Robin Wales, could put a stop to all this by taking the banks to court for mis-selling, just like we can do with PPI. Help us get our money back from the banks by signing this petition!
