• Retain the market stall pitch at Moncrieff Place in Peckham
    Southwark Council is intending to de-designate one of the two existing pitches at the Rye Lane end of Moncrieff Place, (in front of the PeckhamPlex cinema). This would mean the loss of: an historic fully licensed street pitch, a long standing commercial outlet providing affordable goods for local shoppers for over 25 years, part of the infrastructure supporting small independent traders in the town centre, and the livelihood of a local trader and his family. Moncrieff Place stall holders are established licensed traders and have the full support of the Southwark Association of Street Traders (SAST) and the Rye Lane Traders Association (RLTA). They are fully supportive of improvements to Peckham town centre, but not when it means losing vital and valued retail space and the loss of a long standing Peckham business.

  • Stop the cuts to trainee GP pay
    We are currently in a GP recruitment crisis, with applications for GP training schemes falling every year. The suggested plans to cut GP registrar pay will exacerbate this trend and put even more junior doctors off a career in general practice. This will worse the current severe shortage of appointments, leading to poor patient satisfaction and putting patients at risk. The government say they want to hire another 5000 GPs by 2020, but this massive pay cut will make this an impossible target. This is another ideological attack on the NHS and its workers.

  • Ensure proper conduct in election campaign
    I would like to put a formal complaint in about the three candidates Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendal and Andy Burnham for the derogatory comments that all three have made about Jeremy Corbyn in their own election campaigns. This contravenes number 3 and number 13 of the code of conduct of election candidates where they will not 'disparage or brief' against other candidates. I find this behaviour against Jeremy absolutely abhorrent. The general public have been inspired and motivated to take part in this election and have had their faith in politics renewed. The smear campaign against him by the other candidates as well as Tristram Hunt and Simon Danzuk MP's and Tony Blair and Gordon Brown has been disgusting and a slur on the Labour Party. In my opinion this needs to stop immediately and apologies should be made,

  • Re-Hire Tom Jones
    Tom Jones is an icon of the Music Industry and a total Legend. The show will not be the same without him. He's the reason many of us watch it. How can you drop someone who has worked with such major stars as Elvis, the Beatles and the Rat Pack?! It's ridiculous to try and replace him and the show will suffer without his good looks, sex appeal and spectacular charm. BRING HIM BACK!

  • Save RNIB Scotland
    RNIB Scotland members all of whom are blind or partially sighted have had no say in this decision despite RNIB being "of" rather than "for" blind people and this strikes at the heart of our organisational democracy. Action for Blind People have no knowledge whatsoever of Scotland, have no presence in Scotland and we fear their takeover will put at risk the excellent services that RNIB Scotland already provide. We are also deeply concerned as blind and partially sighted people that our ability to influence decisions in Scotland will be diminished as it totally ignores the reality of devolution and the increasing focus on the Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament as the place to find advantage for blind and partially sighted people in Scotland. We were not consulted. We were not asked. We say STOP! NOW!

  • Prevent Dangerous Toxic Fumes Being Inhaled on Planes
    We want to tell the aviation industry to clean up their act. Most of you fly on aircraft. Did you know that the air you are supplied to breathe onboard on all aircraft, except the Boeing 787, comes from the engines? This air is provided unfiltered and is known to become contaminated with a complex cocktail of chemicals including organophosphates (many chemical weapons and pesticides are organophosphate based). This occurs when hazardous jet engine oils or hydraulic fluids contaminate the air supply. The High Court of Australia ruled in 2010 that inhaling these fumes is harmful yet aircraft have NO form of detection systems to warn when the air is contaminated, NO passenger is ever told when they are exposed and pilots have been totally incapacitated in flight from these exposures. Passengers and crews deserve a safe environment to fly or work in. As a former airline captain who has studied this issue for nearly 15 years, please can you support a global campaign to make air travel safer: 1. Help support the development of a blood test to prove exposure to contaminated air on aircraft at: www.gcaqe.org/bloodtest 2. Help support the documentary film AEROTOXIC that will tell the whole story at: www.aerotoxicfilm.com 3. Become informed. Read the educational brochure at: http://gcaqe.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/GCAQE-CAQ-Brochure-17-MAY-2015.pdf Thank you.

  • Save Sky Tip for St Austell
    Because it is now threatened by a planning application to Cornwall Council Number PA14/12186, We ask UNESCO to extend, in perpetuity, the existing local World Heritage Status to embrace the sand burrow called Sky Tip, and otherwise known as the Great Treverbyn or the Carluddon Sky Tip, at West Carclaze, St Austell, in the County of Cornwall. It is a prominent land and sea mark of the town, beloved of its people and all who know the town, as an enduring memorial to all the people and the industry which won the highest grade of China clay from this place for export all over the world; since Josiah Wedgwood and John Carthew formed a Cornish clay company in 1782, after the discovery of China clay, by William Cookworthy, in 1746, at Tregonning Hill. We humbly pray that Sky Tip is as worthy of this recognition and protection as the industrial black hills or Terrils, at Loos-en-Gohelle, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France.

  • LET RITA & RICHARD KAUFFMAN KEEP THEIR HOME!
    UKAR is a company set by the government to get the maximum value from from two banks taken over during the financial crisis. More then 300,000 borrowers have ended up as customers of this company and many of them are in dire financial situation. Few though are as bad off as Rita and Richard Kauffman who are in their late 60's. If they don't repay their 376,000 mortgage UKAR will repossess their home. UKAR is a business without a heart. It has no public share holders and no reputation to protect. Its sole point is to ruthlessly pursue the money it is owed. If that means turning into the street an elderly couple who are the victims of a terrible mis-selling scandal then so be it. In 2006 a financial advisor talked the Kauffmans into a rotten investment. He was part of a group of salesmen who used high pressure tactics and psychological tricks to convince people to take out high risk investments so that he could earn huge commissions. He advised the Kauffmans to take a home loan and invest the money in the high risk deals while they asked for a low risk investment. Bosses at Mortgage Express approved a home loan for the Kauffmans, bringing their total borrowing to £374,925, with hardly a question asked about how this huge sum will be repaid. Bank of Scotland - now a part of Lloyd Banking Group loaned the pensioners a further 194,931 knowing this be used to invest in a package of high risk endowment plans it would also sell them. This sewn together what is now called Frankenstein investment plan has allowed the different businesses involved to wash their hands of any blame because they were just one part of a bigger monster. So although the Financial Ombudsman found in favour of the Kauffmans, none of these businesses have been held to account. Even in 2006, before the financial crash, deals like this were despicable. No bank should ever lend money to allow someone to invest. With compensations awarded by a court following the ombudsman's decision the Kauffmans paid their debt to the Bank of Scotland. However their debt of 376,000 to the now government owned Mortgage Express remains. UKAR has the ability to keep the Kauffmans in their home and ensure they get justice. That would be the best value for the country - not leaving an elderly couple homeless and penniless. UKAR has a net worth of £7 billion!! That is how much they collected for the government. A few thousands will not make a difference to UKAR but mean the roof over the head of two pensioners. Sadly UKAR has shown it doesn't have an ounce of decency. Now it's up to Chancellor George Osborne to show that he does. He is the one man that has the power to keep the Kauffmans in their home. Please sign this petition to urge George Osborne to write- off the Kauffmans' debt and let the Kauffmans keep their home.
