• 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.

  • Please don't close the Haberdashery!
    John Lewis has a long tradition of excellent quality and variety in the products they sell in the Haberdashery department. It is the main reason I visit the store. It is also easily accessible to many customers. There is very little customer choice left in this field and this closure will only narrow it even further. There are many outlets for bikini waxes or wine drinking. Please don't close the Haberdashery!

  • Stop agency fees for tenants and provide a more reflective referencing and contracting price.
    A letting agent provides a service to a landlord, and that service is to find them a customer (the tenant.) The landlord will pay the agent their agreed commission, job done.... This is how it should be. However, Agents have begun the practise of also charging the tenant ludicrous amounts just to move into a new property. In actually fact they are being paid twice, by two different parties for one job. Why on earth is it the tenant's job to pay for a service provided to a landlord and which, in actual fact, has already been paid by the landlord? This is just completely ludicrous? Along with the usual months rent upfront, the deposit of a month and a 1/2 rent, the totally unreflective and completely unfair referencing costs and administration charge, (usually hundreds times more than the actual cost to the agent.) tenants are being priced out of a home they should be able to afford and it often forces them to take a loan just to move into a new property. This affects not only the tenant. The landlord is also losing out. In order to justify the extortionate costs of moving into a property, the average monthly rent, has to be slightly decreased. This, of course directly affects the landlords' income. So as well as a shortened market, the landlord is also paying even more, straight into the pocket of the agents without even realising it. I believe we need to stop the disgusting habit of double charging two different parties against each other for the same service, and also to have a more reflective rates of referencing and contract drawing. Agencies should no longer be allowed to get away with this...

  • Liz Truss Should Resign
    Recent attacks on the judiciary are an attack on our plural democracy -- an attack on our representative democracy with a number of independent institutions which act as checks and balances to one another. The failure of the Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary to defend the judiciary against these attacks -- when they are merely doing their duty in ensuring that the government acts in accordance with the law and respects parliament -- marks either a massive failing to understand our form of government or a wanton disregard of fundamental underpinnings of our plural democracy in the face of party interests. This marks a key move in the Trumpization of the governance of our country.

  • To Protect English Green Belts.
    This action would be in consonance with Mr Javid’s statement of 18 July 2016 when he said that “The Green Belt is absolutely sacrosanct. We have made that clear: it was in the Conservative party manifesto and that will not change. The Green Belt remains special. Unless there are very exceptional circumstances, we should not be carrying out any development on it.” We consider it the duty of Mr Javid to fulfil the Conservative Manifesto 2015 wherein it states the party will “…ensure local people have more control over planning and protect the Green Belt.” and “We will protect the Green Belt. We have safeguarded national Green Belt protection and increased protection of important green spaces.” and that “Our plan of action: We will protect your countryside and Green Belt and urban environment … we will protect the Green Belt …”. The public must have confidence that this Conservative Government will in practical terms protect Green Belt as it has been claiming it would. The Planning Inspectorate, in examining Local Plans submitted by Local Authorities, is currently approving some Plans which seek to move established Green Belt boundaries in order to enable the building of, inter alia, new homes to meet unmet housing demand. While it is recognised that new housing is needed in England, building on Green Belts is directly contrary to the Government’s stated Policy Guidance and specific Green Belt Policies, and further it is often contrary to the wishes of the established communities in or adjacent to those Green Belt areas. The Government claimed in 2011 that they were protecting Green Belts by revoking the Regional Plans. But now Government is imposing unattainable housing targets on Local Authorities who are constrained by established Green Belt land. If these housing targets are not met, despite the constraints, the Local Authority will be fined and the Government will step in to enforce a local plan on the district. The Local Authorities are being bullied by Government into moving Green Belt boundaries, not only in contradiction of Government’s own policy, but contrary to paragraph 80 of the NPPF which sets out the five purposes of Green Belt. The Government has remained consistent across several years and various Ministers with its stated support for protecting the Green Belt and green spaces. It is noticeable that under the Coalition Government, Conservative Ministers were more vociferous about protecting our Green Belt than they have been since being in sole control of our country. Nonetheless, the current Government’s Manifesto and relevant planning policy remains unchanged. The originator of this petition has collected 21 Ministerial Statements and a Statement by the Mayor of London which variously supports the principle that the Government will protect the Green Belt and that the need for housing does not outweigh the exceptional circumstances required to build inappropriately in the Green Belt. We are only asking for this Government to make good on its promises.

  • GM food trial going ahead in U.K.
    Science has not yet proven that GM food do not have a health changing impact on fauna and the environment. Neither in the USA nor in UK or Europe are consumers interested in GM modified foods. Please urge this government to stop licensing GM modified foods until science can prove, that these food will have no impact on any living beings health. Perhaps we should encourage all world citizens to stop breeding like rabbits and take birth control. Than there will be no need to destroy nature for GM foods and agriculture. Perhaps we humans could learn something from Badgers
