Many of these cash machines that charge a fee for withdrawing money are in deprived neighbourhoods where they may not have much money available and this is compounded by being charged a payment for the simple act of accessing their money in physical form. Banning these types of cash machine will improve the local and wider economies for providing a little more money for individuals that they are currently being charged. The charge fees are immoral and are detrimental for individuals and businesses. Charging a fee for withdrawing money from a cash machine should be made illegal.

Many, if not most, of the animals sold on Gumtree are from unscrupulous pet farms. Many of the animals are inter breed, which leads to whole host of health problems.Also , these pets are often kept in isolation, being fed by suppling food from a series of drain pipes. The only motive for these sellers is money. If we can't legislate against this, then please a least share so that NOBODY buys their pet from Gumtree

To keep everyone safe while out riding be it horse rider & horse or car & people either way we must stand up and fight for what is right!

Immigration increases the UK's wealth. Immigrants (especially from the EU) don't sponge off the UK state benefits. Employment rates for immigrants are higher than for UK nationals. They come here to work and as a result are net contributors as tax payers. BUT - they don't take jobs from UK nationals. Employment among UK nationals is rising not falling. Nor do immigrants push down wages, as is claimed. The University of London has found no link between the number of immigrants coming into an area and whether average wages rise or fall in those areas. This is still true when looking at low-skill jobs only. It made no difference to the wages in low-skilled jobs whether there was high or low immigration into an area. Other research has found that the falls in the real value of wages experienced across many industry sectors are in fact largely due to the general economic and financial conditions and not to immigration. In fact immigrants are so good for the UK that they can make the difference between the country being able to manage the national debt and failing to do so in the long term. Over the next 50 years, our national debt, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility is expected to rise from the current 80% of Gross Domestic Product to just under 90% of GDP. If we limit immigration it ends up nearer 110% of GDP. If we encourage immigration it falls to 70% of GDP. So, if immigration is good for the country, we should encourage it not continue to spread myths about it that pander to prejudices.

The people of Dumfries and Galloway should be fully consulted and given the choice to name the hospital as this fits with the Scottish government strategy to empower communities and enable them to be more involved in the matters which are relevant to how the community is perceived. This is an important time and the hospital will reflect a new era in health and social care in the region

There is ample evidence that there are no 'moderate rebels' in Syria. The rebels are all terrorists and many of them are non-Syrian mercenaries. There is also ample evidence that the US is covertly funding terrorist rebels in Western Aleppo and elsewhere who are holding civilians hostage. There is also evidence that ISIS are obtaining arms and oil through Turkey with USA knowledge/involvement. The US has no evidence that Assad gassed his own people, which was given as the original reason for our and the US's direct involvement. Emails leaked from a British defense company, Britam, revealed a plan already in place before the alleged attack, approved by the White House, to give chemical weapons to hired mercenaries, to use on civilians, in order to frame Assad. This justified a direct US intervention, as the covert attempt at an overthrow was, after nearly three years, starting to lose badly. The British people were subjected to daily propaganda that the only action we could take was to go and help to bomb the terrorists in Syria and help the 'rebels' overthrow Assad. Despite there being no evidence at all that these rebels had the support of the Syrian people or indeed were in fact Syrian. Carla del Ponte, a member of the U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria, told Swiss TV back in 2013 that there were “strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof,” that rebels seeking to oust Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad had used the nerve agent. World renowned journalist Seymour Hersh has revealed, in a series of interviews and books, that the Obama Administration falsely blamed the government of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad for the sarin gas attack that Obama was trying to use as an excuse to invade Syria. Hersh pointed to a report from British intelligence saying that the sarin that was used didn’t come from Assad’s stockpiles. Hersh also said that a secret agreement in 2012 was reached between the Obama Administration and the leaders of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, to set up a sarin gas attack and blame it on Assad so that the US could invade and overthrow Assad. Since then it has come to light from emails released by Wiki leaks that Hilary Clinton backed the destruction of the Gaddafi government, which led to the occupation of ISIS of large segments of that country, weapons flows going over to Syria into jihadists within Syria, including ISIS. Clinton was aware of this and in fact orchestrated it. The proof is in the emails. Further more, on the ground witnesses, including the Red Cross have said that there is NO EVIDENCE at all that Russia bombed hospitals in Western Aleppo.The rebels hold Eastern Aleppo and any hospitals are the treating the terrorists. There is also very good evidence that the White helmets are a front for smuggling in arms and are responsible for atrocities. There are over 7 million displaced people, The overthrow of the secular Syrian government was planned years ahead and featured in the document Project for a new American Century, The American Military commanders are now talking up a direct confrontation with Russian forces. Russia is in Syria legally having been invited in by the Syrian Government. The US and it's allies are there illegally. Any engagement with Russia is madness and the Uk government should withdraw all support for this barbarity immediately. https://www.antiwar.com/blog/2016/09/29/why-everything-you-hear-about-aleppo-is-wrong/ (http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/pdf/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBxI1kaY-w4

Aberdeen City Council is trying to make us go through a costly and time consuming planning application to keep a small building that provides our only electricity supply, with no guarantee the application would be accepted. For eight years we fought several utility companies over their refusal to send accurate bills and attempts to trick us into paying money we didn’t owe. Eventually we were left with only one option to avoid being cheated - go off-grid. We decided on solar PV as this is the most reliable and cost effective means of generating off-grid electricity. But we didn’t have a South facing roof, so we built a small wooden building to house the solar panels. We spent several weeks building it with our own hands. Now the council want us to go through a lengthy and costly planning application just to keep this building. I live with my disabled mother. Living without power would deny her vital medical treatment (which she already has to pay for herself) as this has to be stored in a refrigerator. Her treatment has already been affected by having to build the building and off-grid system over the summer, and having to go through a lengthy bureaucratic process would undoubtedly affect it further. I earn a low income with a self employed electrical business that provides our only income. I could not do this without a power supply to charge my tools and run a laptop for my paperwork. I’ve also released a computer program that I hope to develop into a business. This would of course also be impossible without a power supply. I’m busy trying to earn a living for us and will struggle if I have to spend time dealing with a planning application. Living without power would be a nightmare in today’s world - hand washing clothes, no lights, no fridge, etc. We are socially isolated and depend on the internet as our only connection to the rest of humanity. Without a power supply this too would be lost. We don’t know who, if anyone made a complaint about our building, but we don’t believe it’s causing anyone a nuisance. It doesn’t block the light to, or view from, anyone’s windows. It replaced an old garden shed, on the same site, that was rotting away. In very adverse circumstances we are doing something positive for the planet - solar PV is zero emissions and totally sustainable. Don’t let Aberdeen City Council take that away. Please sign the petition. If you live outside the UK you can sign by emailing your name, any message you wish to be included with your signature, and stating that you are signing the petition "Aberdeen City Council - Don’t make us fight to keep our only power supply", to [email protected] . Thanks.

Whilst we welcome the move to schedule CBD as a medicine following clinical trials, it must be understood that completely removing it from the market with only 28 days notice is not sufficient time for patients to find alternative ways of maintaining their health. CBD is well documented through clinical research to be non-toxic and non-psychoactive and has no recorded negative side effects in humans, as well as being a powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic and anti-epilepsy drug. This move will lead to more vulnerable patients buying untested CBD products on the illicit market, potentially bringing them to more harm or falling prey to unscrupulous cannabis oil scammers as it is an expensive product. Thousands of patients with hundreds of medical conditions ranging from acute to life threatening rely on CBD as a safe and non-toxic form of medical and therapeutic treatment. Patients who are buying CBD products have conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer’s, Crohn's Disease, Epilepsy, Fybromyalgia, Arthritis, Anxiety, Depression, Cancer, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Elhers Danlos Syndrome, and Chronic Pain. We petition the MHRA to please consider other means of approving CBD products so that patients do not suffer the consequences of this decision whilst stricter regulations are decided upon. Yours Sincerely United Kingdom Cannabis Social Clubs

We citizens of Lancashire, put politicians in place to represent our needs. We are sovereign, and have the highest form of political authority--you are temporary. Our local council, made up of councillors democratically elected by us, and charged with serving our interests, is exactly the right body to make decisions on local matters. The government have displaced our democracy in Lancashire and we intend to make our vote count next time round. WE THE UNDERSIGNED: PLEDGE TO VOTE FOR NO CONSERVATIVE MP IN THE UPCOMING PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS

Dishonest or poorly researched jounalism creates a distorted perception of events and people which is unhealthy for the society we live in. A proportionate retraction would go some way to addressing this by making readers more aware of this unfortunate practice.

Update Unfortunately, despite having a temporary reprieve in January this year, the Greenspace is once again under threat. Glasgow City Council have been again been approached with a proposal to have the land declared surplus and sold for development of flats. Our councillors have been asked to comment on this proposal. The likely outcome of this part of the process is unclear. The more signatures we have on the petition, the stronger the case against that proposal will be, and the more pressure we can place on the City Council to listen to the community, and save the Greenspace for the third, and hopefully final, time. Our much-loved green space on Broomhill Avenue is under threat again - this is a vital green space for families, walkers and dog-walkers to enjoy in the area. If this space goes to be replaced by more housing, this could lead to many families leaving the area in search of accessible green space. (https://www.facebook.com/broomhillavenuepark/) Right now, Glasgow City Council are in negotiations with a developer which could lead to flats being built on our sole green space in the area. Shouldn't Glasgow City Council be preserving this space to help promote physical activity in local communities and be on ongoing legacy from the Commonwealth Games? This is especially sad as in 2008, Glasgow City Council (GCC) promised us that the Broomhill Avenue Greenspace would "be excluded from any future development packages", and assured us that there was no need to officially protect the site as it would be protected under the councils own rules and guidance on open spaces. GCC themselves list the site as part of the "green corridor" which is intended to provide areas for protection of wildlife, which begs the question of why the negotiations over a sale are taking place at all? Although this area is not an official park, it is tended and maintained by local residents and the trees, wildlife and open space are an important part of the community. The space is cared for - residents and children in the community have been working on the site and planted hundreds of flower bulbs, cleaned up rubbish and prepared bird and bat boxes to provide homes for wildlife, with more planting planned coming. All of this hard work is at risk, if the proposed sale goes ahead. We need as many people as possible to hold Glasgow City Council to their promise. Please sign and share our petition to help us protect the site and save a small, but important local resource for the benefit of the residents, wildlife, children and dog walkers who value and appreciate this area. Thank you for your support.
