Hands off Channel 4Allowing this government to ride roughshod over our civil liberties and then censor reporting the issues by silencing media is a serious marker on the road to Fascism. We should not tolerate the disintegration of our right to be fairly informed. Free unbiased uncensored media is essential.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Turner

Get charities to train neuro service dogs too!This is important because there are over 7 billion people in the world. There are over 300,000 admissions of people with brain injury’s to hospitals every year. Pretty much everyone with a brain injury needs some kind of help, whether it be from a nurse, carer, support worker or assistance dog.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Megs Rose

Dyslexic mode mandatory in all softwareIn the modern world we all use technology in one way or another and this was accelerate by the covid-19 pandemic. As a dyslexic myself I can tell you it is a pain to do tasks on apps like MS teams, Google classroom , Google chrome (all other browsers) and more. This would make equality better for everyone with hidden disabilities. This will help people you know. And let me leave you with this: 20% of people in the world are dyslexic. That is 1 in 5 people12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ron Witclth

Stop dementia care costsA year ago after 2 years of looking after elderly parents who required more support and care as time went on I retired early in 2020 to care for them more. Dad had vascular dementia and physical health problems diagnosed in 2017. And after this mums health gradually deteriorated. Mum was diagnosed with cancer in April 2000. Both of them deteriorated further until we were exhausted looking after them. Both moved into a residential/dementia home in June last year. We are not a rich family by any means mum worked as a school cleaner and dad was in the merchant navy but during the war went to work down the mines where he worked until he retired. But because he saved and did without many things as he wanted to leave a small some of money to his family in his will. This put them above the threshold of £23,000 meaning he would have to pay for all his own care home fees, despite having lots of physical problems after years working down mines that probably led to or exacerbated vascular problems leading to his dementia. We found out that mums continuing care would be paid for but dad’s would not and his continuing care would be classed as social care needs. This makes no sense to me when both mums physical illness and dad’s physical illness both led to both of them needing more social care and health care. Sadly we lost mum last June and because of the pandemic she died alone in hospital as we were unable to visit her this was traumatic and is still very upsetting when I think about it. If Dad did not have the physical diagnosis and health problems he would be able to see to his own social care. But his inability now to be able to dress and feed himself is the result of his physical problem. Just as mums cancer led her to unable to look after herself. So why is there a difference in funding care? This is unfair and surely under human rights and equal rights both mum and dad should have the same access to funding their care. This government promised to fix health and social care funding and with a small health insurance increase of about 2 pence per person on wages of each worker. And following the Dilnot report recommendation we could have a fully funded health and social care system to be proud of. Now I am asking Boris and his government to for once take a strong lead and sort this problem. Our elderly and disabled and vulnerable have been let down long enough now and this has been greatly exposed during this pandemic. Dementia is a growing concern and as people live longer more and more are being diagnosed without any cure in sight. Most people fear dementia more than any other illness. It would be less frightening if we had great dementia care fully funded. Research is needed to find a cure and ways to reduce the disability caused by this condition. Families require support to keep loved ones as independent as possible for as long as possible in their own homes.55 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ann Glenton

Open the Covid-19 Public Inquiry With Immediate EffectIn the light of various allegations made recently, coupled with speculation already mooted on Social Media and Main Stream Media, together with the appalling behaviour of the former Health Secretary, this has now left the general public with a total loss of confidence that an Inquiry some time in the future will be open and transparent. The Covid-19 Pandemic has profoundly affected all aspects of people's lives and resulted in over 125,000 extremely traumatic deaths. Businesses have been descimated. Care Home residents abandoned by the Government. Education has been severely disrupted. The Pandemic is something no government has had to deal with for over 100 years and it is now paramount that the general public see and hear what lessons could be learned from how the Government has dealt with all aspects of keeping us safe, including how [wisely] taxpayers money has been spent in appropriating PPE, hospital equipment, mental health provisions etc. Leonardo da Vinci once said "Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence" WE WILL NO LONGER BE SILENT.24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by SUE BAILLIE

NO MORE BEDROOM TAX!The reduction has caused residents to suffer a lower quality of life, with less weekly budget it has resulted in occupants: - Having inadequate central heating. - Not being able to afford a feasible amount of food. - Suffering a drop in mental health due to stress. - Entering rent arrears Two thirds of those affected by the 'Bedroom Tax' collected some from of disability benefits. Demonstrating that the policy directly effects those that require a support not an extra tax that is out of their control! Please sign this petition in order to get this damaging policy abolished!7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by reece billingsley
