  • Stop increasing fuel poverty
    The multi-billion subsidies for wind turbines represent a massive transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich. Amounting to an annual payment from each household of £350 and rising, they are pushing people into fuel poverty and damaging the UK economy. The level of subsidy is sufficient to cover the construction cost of these wind turbines in just six or seven years, meaning that the subsidy payments thereafter will represent almost pure profit.

  • UK researchers decry ‘shameful’ cuts to international support fund
    The scientific research carried out by the researches benefits not only developing parts of the world, but can have commercial applications here in the UK too. For example : Simon McQueen-Mason, from the University of York, is nearing the end of an ODA-funded project using novel enzymes to reduce industrial waste from sugar mills in India. He fears that all the understanding and knowledge they have gained to date will fail to come to fruition if their funding is pulled at this stage. “It’s devastating because the results so far are really promising,” he says. McQueen-Mason and his team had high hopes that their work would be able to significantly reduce waste streams from one of India’s major and highly polluting industries, whilst also increasing profitability and creating new jobs. And it won’t just be India that loses out. “The systems we have developed would have been incredibly valuable for the UK with potential for making aviation biofuels, bioplastics, organic acids used in industry and high quality re-cycled textiles,” he says, adding that the industrial partners involved in his project that had invested significant amounts of their own money in the work are livid. “At least one of the companies I work with has already written to Innovate UK to ask for their money back,” says McQueen-Mason.

  • 'Stop the BBC Mothballing BBC Four'
    As a public service broadcaster, the BBC has a long tradition of providing programmes that educate, inform and entertain. The BBC’s Annual Plan for 2021/22 announced that they are intending to stop commissioning original content for BBC4. While BBC4 will continue to broadcast live performances, the rest of the output will just be repeats of existing content from the BBC archives, while BBC3 will return as a broadcast channel. Over the years I've learnt so much from many fine BBC4 programmes on art, music, history, geography, science, technology and much more. I've been transported around the globe by wonderful accounts of spectacular sights and sounds, given privileged access to museums and galleries, learnt about diverse cultures and discovered just what a wonderful world we live in. To my mind, no other broadcaster comes close to the BBC in being able to offer this kind of content to its viewers, and BBC4 has been central to this. Audience figures for these fantastic programmes may be lower than in other areas, but those that watch them love them, and they are an integral part of the BBC's mission. BBC4 still has a unique and important role to play in helping to fulfil Lord Reith's original vision of the role of public service television in the UK. It should not be mothballed; it should be cherished. Please sign and share to support BBC4! https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/mar/29/bbc-four-to-become-archive-only-as-cost-cutting-drive-continues

  • 2021 - Time for new trees in Woking
    Many people have lost friends and loved ones during the pandemic and want a meaningful way to honour them, especially as many of us have not been able to gather at funerals. Helping to plant a tree which will stand as a, long-term, living memorial, is a positive step. Helping to fund the work of Cruse locally, will mean that more people can have practical support in a time of very real need. Trees are fundamentally important to our planet - Friends of the Earth estimate that in order to avoid a climate crisis, we need to double the number of trees in the UK - by 2030; projects like ours, will help reach that milestone. The website will be a valuable education resource for the whole community, especially our children and young people, now but for years to come. Working together to plant trees is a community project for EVERYONE - it brings people of all ages together, to share a goal and celebrate the power of working together.

  • Extend railcards
    We are senior citizens and, having paid for a 3 year railcard we would like to extend the expiry date to reflect the time lapsed for the government's ban on rail travel. The railcards are costly and use up a substantial amount in our budget and are the difference between traveling to see our daughter and not. We feel cheated and are very hard pushed to afford another railcard at this time.

  • BAN THE SALE OF ANIMALS ON LINE
    It is important because it leads to illegal breeding of animals, some if which suffer immesurably in terrible conditions, also the theft of animals by criminals It is a new and lucrative way for anyone to make sometimes thousands of pounds out of innocent animals, in particular dogs, who are repeatedly impregnated to provide litter after litter, only to have their babies ripped from them and sold on to anyone, who in turn may go on to do the same thing, because there is so much financial gain This is becoming a massive issue, and YOU the advertiser's have the power to put a stop to it. Do the right thing be the first. HELP THEM PLEASE.
