  • Stop the removal of the £20 per week Universal Credit uplift
    We have just been through a historical time in human history. Never before have we seen such devastation. Covid-19 hit us all hard, thousands of businesses went bust. Many new claims were made to the Universal Credit system as families were plunged into poverty as their livelihoods were taken from them as the virus ravaged our towns and cities. The Universal Credit system is a lifeline for millions of people in the UK and the £20 per week deduction is going to cripple families who have been plunged into the benefit system through no fault of their own. Let's face it, £20 per week may not sound like a lot to many of you, but to claimants of the benefit system it is a fortune. This money is a week's food shopping! A weeks gas and electricity for our top up meters! This government has decided to reduce the allowance just as the winter hits us. What do we tell our children as they sit in the cold house this winter and ask why they can't have the heating on? Families are going to have to choose to literally eat or heat this winter with this deduction. A DEDUCTION THAT THE POPULATION OF THE UK DID NOT GET CHANCE TO VOTE ON! I want to inform the POPULATION of this country, the government is here to serve us, and do as we collectively say. Not the other way round! It's not rocket science is it? Those who are on higher salaries should be willing and able to help the poorest in our society by paying just a small increase on their national insurance stamp to help fund the extra £20 per week rise in Universal Credit. Or we could add a fraction of a penny to fuel prices to pay for this extra £20 per week allowance. This country has a moral obligation to help those who were hit the hardest by the covid-19 virus and were plunged into the welfare system. So this petition is for the masses of the country, the population of this country to HAVE THEIR SAY ON THIS IMMORAL DEDUCTION. I implore you to sign this petition and let this Conservative government know that the majority of the UK population that they serve, do not want this deduction to be implemented and carried forward. We did not get the chance to have OUR SAY, now YOU CAN! BY SIGNING THIS PETITION. Do what is morally correct and let the people who serve us, and don't have a clue about the welfare system, and the cost of living know that we do not want this deduction to continue. People will die from this decision. Children will get sick, malnourished and depression will rise alarmingly by this simple £20 per week deduction. Take the money off those who are blessed enough to be able to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. It's not really a hard decision to make is it? Keep the £20 per week increase to the universal credit system and help the families in need during this time in humanity that has never been seen before. Share this petition far and wide. Let the public decide, as it is our country, with rules and systems that we ALL Want to live with. Thank you. Signed, A universal credit claimant

  • Teach BSL in Schools
    Students are taught a range of languages, such as French, German, and Spanish, however the language lacking from the school curriculum is British Sign Language (BSL). There are 11 million deaf or hard of hearing people in the UK, and these people are much more likely to suffer from mental illnesses (up to 50%, compared with 25% of the general population). So, I believe that adding a BSL course to the school curriculum would be a perfect way to uphold our responsibility to those who are hard of hearing; we must step up and take the simple solution to a problem affecting millions. With the recent Covid-19 pandemic, quality of life for the hard of hearing has only worsened as these people lost the ability to lip read due to face masks and their silent world became even more silent. Even now, when regulations are much calmer, I still watched a deaf woman struggle to communicate with the worker at the pharmacy when she had an issue with her prescription.

  • To recycle or ban all poplypropylene plastic in Bristol
    Since poplypropylene can come in very small shapes and sizes it can be very easy for fish to digest since there's a very long break-down process.

  • Support your GP or risk losing them
    The accusations of loss of face-to-face appointments with GPs have been clearly refuted by medical leaders, with data showing they are unfounded. And while some patients do have poor and upsetting experiences that are clearly bad practice, the majority of us are satisfied with the care provided. Making hardworking family doctors scapegoats for years of government failings is completely unacceptable. GPs and patients are on the same team, and the media attempts to drive a wedge between them is dishonest and destructive. 2 surgeries are closing a week, 3 GPs are leaving every day due to the unbearable pressure and suicide is 4 times the national average. We need action now to stop the loss of this vital and valued public service. The aim is to run down services to drive patients into private care and private health insurance and demoralised and browbeaten doctors into leaving the NHS.

  • Recycle or stop the use of polystyrene plastics in Bristol
    Time is ticking! We must stop producing so much waste before it's too late. Polystyrene is one of the least recycled plastic types and can easily end up in the rivers, seas and ocean. From there, it travels up the food chain into dolphins, turtles, whales and even humans!

  • More access to food banks
    Unfortunately there are no laws to guarantee that all humans deserve the right to have food, therefore no one is held accountable for when people have to live without for periods of time, this needs to change so people can have a better standard of living. Afghan refugees in Haringey need to be fed. Having food is a basic necessity that all humans, anywhere in the world, need to survive. These food banks may be the only source they get and if there are only a small amount of these banks in an area, how can the thousands needing to be fed eat?

  • Stricter Responses for Racism in Football
    I remember the day Italy beat England 3-2 on penalties , like it was yesterday not because of the loss , but because of the aftermath of Saka and Rashford’s terror. Anyone in that situation would have felt extremely endangered, let alone a nineteen year old (at the time). The whole nation watched this delinquency . How would you feel being attacked just because of the colour of your skin? Imagine you’re a football player and you’ve experienced racial abuse… how would you feel? What would you do? We want football clubs to have harsher restrictions so that football players feel comfortable and protected whilst playing for their teams. This is because no one should have to go through this as it can be a disempowering experience.I believe that football clubs should have first and second warnings to fans who are racists towards players. Their first warning should be a year ban and if they do this again they should get a life time ban as this is affecting players mental health. As a rule the FA has an anti-racism education pack produced by Show Racism the Red Card which aims to familiarise young people with the causes and consequences of racism as well as helping them to develop good relationships and respect the differences between people, regardless of ethnicity. Unfortunately this is ineffective as it is not a law to hate crime, however the Equalities Act of 2010 is supposed to protect people from experiencing racism and discrimination. We are lobbying Peter McCormick (Chairman of the FA) , in order for change to occur so that stricter measures are taken when racial incidents happen. Sign my petition if you want Peter McCormick to know that we all agree that we should have harsher restrictions.

  • Improved Recycling Provision
    The way the law is structured means that you get up from £400 fines to £2,500 fines for littering. However, there are no laws forcing councils to put recycling bins on high roads. This means that the lack of law is forcing me to break the law. What type of hypocritical society is this? Other people should join for the movement of change and improvement of our local area in terms of litter. As a parent/carer/child, is this something you would want your family to go through? If not, please sign this petition to force Haringey council into putting more bins and help our cause of helping Wood Green become GREATly clean again! I walk through ‘Wood Green High Road’ everyday and I am having to dodge constant litter throwing at an alarming rate. This is not hygienic and could result in diseases spreading.

  • Improve Finsbury Gardens
    This is a local park where all the locals go on the weekend to have a nice picnic while there child is playing football or playing in the playground. This is also very important to me because when I was growing up I went to this park everyday and I didn't feel safe especially when there where teenagers playing football. So I want to make this park a safe space so other kids can feel safe and enjoy there time at this park.
