PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION NOW! THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE TO STOP THE BILL! THE VOTE IS ON 23RD MARCH!

Peter Lilley M.P voted in the house of commons to cut ESA payment for people in the work-related activity group (Wrag) from £103 to £73 a week. despite there being no parliamentary report on the impact on claimants, this is a contradiction of his role as a patron of this charity, and makes his position untenable.

Tremoilet School is a small school with a very big heart, it's part of our small community and we really want to keep it that way. Carmarthenshire Council have decided to try and close our school along with Llanmiloe school and send all children over 5 miles away to another school. If this happens it would be a huge blow to the local community, there would be no more school performances in the local church and the children would no longer be so involved in local affairs. Our small school has turned out some amazing students that have gone on to be extremely successful in different fields like computer software development, teachers, business management and the list goes on. We may be a small school but this does not mean we are willing to let it go,the children are certainly not prepared to lose the school that means so much to them and neither are the parents or Pendine Community.

Large population rely on proximity of Irlam sorting office.

The refuge is a safe place for women who's lives have been shattered by rape, sexual assault and domestic violence. Without this safe place, which although only short term, provides much needed breathing space. Not only that it shows these people that not everyone is out to hurt them. The removal of funding for these vital services, gives abused women the message that no one cares and it is ok for them to be abused. Is this a good message to send out across Cumbria?

The Bridge is a purpose built place for the Mentally ill people. It's an activity centre and a drop in centre with a cafe. The building is all on ground floor. There are gardens at the back and side for people to relax. The activities include Arts and Craft, Music Learning, Guitar Learning group - 'Dont Fret', Tabla (Indian drums) learning, Library, Choir meeting -- 'More than Just a Choir', WhyFI - for Paranoia, Pilates, Yoga, 30 Clients with Personal Independence Budgets attend for therapy. People with depression, Bipolar, Schizophrenia etc. etc. attend with great benefits to their daily life. The Northwick Park Hospital's Mental Heath Unit refers clients for further support from the services available at The Bridge. I had asked my family, two years ago, to take me to the Switzerland clinic to 'have me put down'. Then I heard of 'The Bridge' and attended the Choir -- ''More Than Just A Choir'' every Tuesday evening. This has turned my life around. The people receiving a great deal of therapeutic benefits will have to revert back to the overloaded GP services and the NHS -- waiting list. The attempt to close The Bridge will end up costing the community far greater!

Filibustering prevents Private Members' Bills from being considered and debated in the House of Commons and is therefore an affront to representative democracy

Many long serving MPs are simply "out of touch" with their electorate. Having received a well paid salary for years, they have no idea, how, many of their poorer constituents, have to cope on low wages or benefits !

It will help the economy as people are more settled when they are a little older and more willing to take full advantage of the chance they have been given.

Did you know that the BBC is not the only great British broadcasting institution to be under threat? If you hadn't heard already, Channel 4, our world-leading creative hub is also on the verge of disappearing in to the great corporate black hole. HM Treasury's desire to make a 'fast buck' out of Channel 4 for Chancellor George Osborne is out of control and needs to be stopped. Firstly, I didn't used to do these sorts of things because I never heard enough stories connected to 'petition activism' success to feel it was worth it (I know now, I'm wrong on this). I'm at a stage where I don't know where else to turn and I need your help. I believe in the British public and I'm hoping you'll believe in this petition too so as to, not just kick-start a debate in parliament about the future of Channel 4, but to once again dispel my previous critical view that petitions can only do 'so much'. Here are a few things that, I hope, will help you understand why I've decided to start this petition: - Channel 4 makes most of its money out of advertising, but it DOES NOT make a profit. Instead, it outsources and plunges that cash back into high-quality programmes produced by often small 'indie' production houses across Britain. - What's more, rules govern the channel that make sure a certain proportion of programmes MUST be made from outside of London, leading to the amazing success story that is the U.K.'s production sector. - Risk taking. There would be LESS as shareholders wouldn't want to take a risk on programmes that don't make them money straight away. - This includes the important role of holding high-powered individuals/corporations/governments to account. Also, experimental comedy (see Adam & Joe) and high-quality breaking news (see John Snow & team) would suffer as programming is gradually geared towards formulaic shows based entirely on ratings. - Think of the risks taken on the Paralympic games and the effort behind making it a success or how Steve McQueen became the first black director to win an Oscar for '12 Years A Slave' (yes, that was Channel 4-owned Film4). - If the channel is totally privatised, it means a lot of the outsourcing mentioned above will be brought in-house as a new revenue stream. This is fine for shareholders, but it means production companies, their employees and viewers across Britain will suffer as Channel 4's output will likely become centralised in London (contradicting the whole purpose of a 'balanced economy'). - Finally, there's the cultural, patriotic and financial side. Why, like EMI before them, would you want another great British icon to be PURCHASED by yet another faceless American giant, that reduces creative content to just another pay-per-view 'underwhelmer', whose new owners would likely have no real understanding or care about the audience it serves? Already, 'CEO hopefuls' are lining up for the job of running a privatised TV channel whose heritage is quintessentially British to the core. In some cases, applicants have quit already lucrative, high-ranking jobs just to apply. Please, I implore you. Don't make the mistake of allowing the sale of something ORIGINAL, that has taken years to create, that represents a diverse and modern Britain, that gives those with a multitude of talents a chance to shine whilst simultaneously enriching and entertaining viewers across the U.K. You will long for it when it's gone, believe me... Thank you.

The families of Corby depend upon the services provided by the local children's centres. Data shows that children in Corby statistically fair worse in education, income levels, life expectancy and health. Childrens centres mitigate against these challenges and further cuts to funding are unfair and indefensible.

Hayat Ghajar 70 years old and her daughters Reem Abozlam and Dania Abozlam are vulnerable Syrian ladies who are trapped in Aleppo, Syria since the war started 5 years ago. They live in a dangerous place in their house in Aleppo at risk of loosing their life every single day. A mortar hit their house last September and caused Very bad injuries to Hayat Ghajar , a huge cut on her belly, a broken elbow and a lot of burns all over her body. They didn't want to leave their country since the war started, hoping things will settle soon, But after the accident they became very scared and worried and they want to come out of the country. On the top of their fear and Sadness, the dark War makes their Life very hard with the power cut off most of the time, no water in the house and the price of everything is going up all the time. They have lost their piece of mind and their normal happy life as a family because the darkness of the harsh and long war. Abeer Jones, Hayat' Ghajar's daughter and Reem Abozlam and Dania Abozlam' sister lives in North Wales with her British family. It was heartbreaking for Abeer Jones to hear about her mother's injury and the scary situation her mother and 2 sisters live in. Hayat Ghajar's accident turned her daughter Abeer Jones's life upside down. Since September, Abeer Jones is trying to help her family to come out of the Danger but unfortunately all her attempts were not succesful. Abeer Jones with her husband David Jones and their children Adam Jones, 8 and Danny Jones, 5, are still desperate to rescue their family in Aleppo and they are scared they may die there if they can't help them. They are willing to do anything to help their family in Syria and to get their happy and peaceful life back. Hayat Ghajar, Reem Abozlam and Dania Abozlam can't be classified as refugees because they are still in Syria. They can't come out of Aleppo and go to neighbouring countries now because the borders are very strict and they are nearly impossible to cross. Abeer Jones and her Husband David Jones don't want anything from the Government to support their family when they come to the U.K. The can accommodate them and support them financially. They just want them to live with them in a safe place. We call on the Home Office and the British Authorities to: 1- Immediately Grant a safe passage to Hayar Ghajar, Reem Abozlam, Dania Abozlam to the U.K. 2- Stregthen provisions for refugee family reunion.
