  • Do not invite President Trump to visit the U.K.
    America's has chosen a narcissistic racist misogynist to represent them on the world stage. Whilst respecting their right to do this we have the right to refrain from endorsing him as an individual by refraining from inviting him into the U.K. President Trump has values that run counter to British values of equality and openness. We should not subject the Crown to the indignity of providing an audience to such an individual. Whilst Parliament has previously discussed excluding Mr Trump from the UK And has decided against such action, this is not the same as extending an invitation to him. Mr Trump is free to apply to visit the UK. But we should refrain from inviting him.

  • Palm Oil-Free Online Shopping
    The facts are clear about the impact of palm oil on the worlds resources and carbon contributions. Right now the blame appears to be on the consumer for not making ethical choices. The Government and UKs Leading retailers need to make the choices clear for consumers so that the UK public can make green decisions more easily and quickly everyday. The UK has made a commitment in the Paris Agreement which it must honor. Small enforcements like these will impact large scale public consumption and use of Palm Oil Free products and help the government meet UN targets. It will also raise awareness of this issue amongst the public and help change attitudes to the significance of our daily choices on world health and climate change.

  • Volkswagen Group emissions scandal
    All corporations say they are fair and ethical but with the emissions problem that arose from the VAG scandal people within the UK and Europe have purchased cars based on their so called statistics. These customers have been duped and lied to and as a result have been wronged by VAG. As well as fixing the problem with the cars that their customers have been lied to about VAG should also offer compensation much like they are doing in the US and Canada otherwise they believe their customers of Audi, Volkswagen, Skoda, Seat are all second class to their US counterparts. If VAG want's to treat it's customers like this then people should firstly campaign and when they refuse to listen to their customers then people should ensure they do not purchase from this group again.

  • Homophobic Bullying in Rural Areas
    In school, I have been campaigning for Stonewall and by using the Stonewall website I have learned a lot about homophobic bullying and how it affects young LGBT people, while looking at homophobic bullying I read a story by the guardian that stated "Hate Crime is everyday reality for rural LGBT people". This is one of the biggest reasons I believe that rural areas especially need to run more services in support of LGBT people. I live in Somerset, Bridgwater and I only know of one group that people can easily visit name 2BU. Using the website I also read stories of children affected by homophobic bullying such as Mikey Barnes who said "I first came out at school at the age of 12 and it wasn’t always easy – a lot of students bullied me for it, and even the few teachers I opened up to told me that I was “too young” to know for sure. I struggled with my mental health for a long time as a result." I believe that many other children part of the LGBT community have felt this way before. I believe more support groups like 2BU or Stonewall support groups would be beneficial to many young people. Stonewall have a history of helping people internationally and locally to not only accept themselves a part of the LGBT community but have also helped to spread awareness to those who might not understand who the LGBT community are and what they represent. Through looking at the work they do around the world they help me understand the struggles the LGBT community have faced but also show how far they have come since the charity organisation started. I hope people look at the website to find more information and understand why there need to be more services available to young people who consider themselves homosexual. What can be done? I think it would be useful if more young LGBT people recieved support by having more groups that they can attend to talk about their issues. It would be great if there could be either a helpline or a way which young people could ask and answer questions anonymously. An increased awareness in school about homophobic bullying by providing schools with advice, posters ,booklets and training to stop bullying in schools.

  • Keep University of Portsmouth's fees at £9000
    The University of Portsmouth informed its students via email on 7/11/2016 that both new and continuing students will be forced to pay £9,250 for the next academic year. Every year seems to hold another increase to our ever-growing piles of debt. Scrapping the maintenance grant in exchange for a bigger loan. Increasing the interest rate at which we pay them back. At the current rate tuition fees will surpass £10,000 within the next few years and I've had enough. I didn't sign up expecting my fees to increase during my time here and regardless of the fine print the University didn't communicate this information to me before starting my degree, nor did they before I started this academic year. Current students should not see a fee increase. As Faculty Representative for Technology I feel it is my duty to speak out against the Universities decision to raise fees and urge my colleagues to do the same. I've been a proud student at Portsmouth since 2014. It's ignited my passion for learning, helping others and you won't find somebody with more love for this city. It's hard to believe as somebody who left college with a BTEC in music and no sense of direction years ago I now stand to graduate at the end of my course with an integrated Masters in Mechanical Engineering. By letting these fees increase all we do is discourage people from making that leap. I've directed this petition to Paul Hayes, who spoke last year at the course rep conference, who assured me that our voice matters. This affects every student current and future and if we do not take a stand now, the problem will only grow.

  • Carers' allowance
    Carers' save the government millions of pounds by caring for the elderly in their own homes and it is a disgrace that the carer is penalised by having their allowance cut just because they are in receipt of their pension. Many, like myself, have had to give up work to care and it causes financial hardship.

  • Stop Joe Corre Burning London's Cultural Heritage
    Punk is part of our London cultural heritage. It's importance as one of the key youth movements of the 20th Century is acknowledged worldwide and millions of visitors come to London attracted by its multi-cultural qualities. It matters not just to the people that lived through the period but to our future generations. We believe that Joe Corre should donate the collection to the Mayor of London to find a suitable permanent exhibition space.

  • Solar panels for every home.
    The UK needs to invest in renewable energy but the cost of wind turbines is high both financially and to the landscape. Solar panels on each home will generate electricity for the home owner and feed excess back into the national grid. Costs of solar panels are falling and could provide the answer to our energy needs.
