  • Electrify the Midland Mainline
    The Supreme Court recently ruled that the Government must take more action to reduce air pollution. At the moment, diesel trains pass through already polluted cities, causing more illness and premature deaths. Diesel trains also have a bigger carbon footprint than electric trains. The towns and cities along the route will not be able to meet air quality and carbon emissions targets until the Midland Mainline is electrified.

  • Keep the Ban on Fox Hunting
    Blood sports need to be confined to the history books. In recent surveys over 80% of the public are against fox hunting and other such 'sports' such as hare coursing and yet within this year there will be an open vote amongst MPs which could mean the views of the people are ignored. Please sign this petition to show your support against barbaric and sickening blood sports that have no place in today's society.. Show us some support on Facebook: Facebook/KeepTheBan

    In order to balance out the loss of social and affordable housing the right to buy scheme will entail. Tenants of at least 4 years should have the right to buy their rented home at a discount the same as a council or housing association tenant. This will have the effect of preventing foreign specualtors buying up London housing and forcing both rental and property prices up.

  • Make osteopathy available to all on the NHS
    The petition has been sent to NHS England who responded that the responsibility for these decisions is with local CCGs; so it's over to you to send this petition, or your own personal message to your local CCG which you can find here: http://www.nhs.uk/Service-Search/Clinical%20Commissioning%20Group/LocationSearch/1. According to the NHS Choices website: "Back pain is a common problem that affects most people at some point in their life." Two years ago I developed excruciating knee, lower back and shoulder pain. Despite powerful painkillers, the pain was so bad that I was unable to stand for three weeks. My GP prescribed pain killers and referred me for physiotherapy which helped - but was very slow. After being in continual pain for a year it eventually got under control. But then a few weeks ago the pain started again following exactly the same pattern. A colleague recommended her osteopath who listened carefully to the sequence of events, looked at all the affected parts together, made a diagnosis, did half an hour of massage and manipulation and the pain was greatly reduced and after three treatments was virtually gone. I was able to continue working throughout and haven’t needed any painkillers. Many friends and family members say they've had similar positive experiences of osteopathy, while the NHS was able to offer only painkillers and physiotherapy. Physiotherapy can be effective, but adding osteopathy as an alternative would provide greater choice and may suit some people better - as well as being quick and highly effective. NHS Choices says “There is good evidence that osteopathy is effective for the treatment of persistent lower back pain. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends it as a treatment for this condition.” The total cost of my treatment was over £300. I struggled to find the money; for many people it would be impossible. So why isn’t the option of osteopathy available everywhere on the NHS? At a time when there is sharp awareness of the need for the NHS to be cost effective, osteopathy could alleviate some of its problems of overburdening and under-resourcing. And it could definitely help alleviate the pain and misery of many people with back pain. Please sign this petition if you agree that osteopathy should be available to anyone who needs it, not just those who can afford it or happen to live in an area whose Clinical Commissioning Group offer it.

  • Save Wythenshawe Hospital's General Surgery
    The proposed move of these services will have a detrimental effect to the people of South Manchester. Consultants and medical staff have raised their concerns over the new proposal and believe that it will have a knock on effect to the care provided in A&E and also other areas of the hospital such as Maternity and paediatrics, cardiothoracics and heart transplant. My son was treated at Wythenshawe hospital for a ruptured appendix by the general surgeons had this service not been available we would have had to wait for a transfer to the MRI by ambulance which would have been life threatening to him. As someone who uses these services and lives in the surrounding area it is vital that these services are kept at wythenshawe hospital keeping the health and safety of the people of South Manchester and Trafford at the forefront. Would you like to go to an A&E department only to be told your life threatening condition could not be treated there and you would have to wait to be transferred to a different hospital? I wouldn't ! People of South Manchester we have until the 15th July to voice our concerns when the Healthier Together Programme will either reject or comission this proposal ! Please sign and share to fight for our hospital

  • reclassify human rights violations as criminal offenses.
    parliamentarians have continued to violate the human rights of the people with forced austerity for the actions of the criminal bankers. the human rights of victims of parliamentary pedophile groups still at large in parliament and immune from justice. the removal of food to individuals abuses their human rights. all of the above offenses are classified as CIVIL offenses if committed by a politician and a criminal offense if committed by a member of the public. this inconsistency leaves the public with no legal aid open to any human rights violations parliament wishes. by making human rights violations criminal offenses the individual has a coarse open to justice where as now there is none. politicians can cause the death of thousands of people WITHOUT criminal offenses being taken brought against them, a terrorist kills one and we bomb a country. human rights violations should be criminal offenses to protect the people from political and economic fundamentalism of individual politicians who profess to be our representatives until called to account for their actions. james anderson.

  • PAGAN AND DRUID RECOGNITION IN HOSPITALS AND CARE HOMES DIGNITY IN CARE
    We, as a growing belief section of the community feel we are under represented marginalised and ignored with in these settings and encounter intolerance and ignorance and call for an end to this and our diversity to be celebrated and officially accepted and staff educated to know about our systems of celebration of life and death and care of our sick and our elders It is gravely important our belief systems are respected and represented with in health and care settings and our community tolerated and allowed our dignity. recently a druid priestess was in a nhs hospital in the north midlands during summer solstice, one of our holy high days of the pagan wheel of the year, and was subjected to verbal intolerance and taunting by some members of staff who encouraged patients to join in, been likened to as a Satanist and weird and also told we sacrifice animals, all of these nothing to do with the pagan and druid beliefs, the priestess was so affronted she raised it with the CQC and hospital chaplaincy and official complaints are in process
