Pensioners who are 80 years old are supposed to get £400 Winter Fuel Allowance.However,those pensioners whose 80th birthday falls after the 21st September 2008 will get £150 less(the same as 60-79 year olds)They will therefore have to wait until their 81st birthday before they get the full £400.That is assuming that they survive this winter on the reduced payment.
This is totally unfair,and I urge the government to give the full £400 to all pensioners whose 80th birthday falls within that year.Give Pensioners Justice,the least this country can do is to give them ALL enough money to keep warm during the winter.Please support my petition.

Obesity, loutish behaviour, drunkenness, knife crime, …, and even terrorism are symptoms of a system that denies justice to the ordinary citizen.

A sign of this is when, for example, a middle manager at a new university is sacked for whistle blowing. Despite attempts at obtaining justice through ‘normal channels’ it is denied. The Prime Minister even ignoring a petition signed by family, friends, past students and past staff of the institution in question as well as a number of current and past local councillors. What are less well placed observers to make of such a system?

We call on the Prime Minister to ensure that real justice, rather than mere law, rules in the United Kingdom. As a first step towards this we ask him to have a Royal Commission on ‘Justice not Just Law’.

There are very real concerns that if this becomes law Christians could be found guilty of ‘inciting hatred’ towards gay people for simply saying that engaging in same sex sexual activity is ‘sinful’ and contrary to God’s Word. At the very least the new offence will make people a lot more nervous about openly reflecting on their faith based view of sexuality.
The former Home Secretary, Lord Waddington has tabled a free speech amendment to the Bill which, if accepted, should help prevent Christians finding themselves in trouble with the new law for simply expressing a faith based view of sexuality.
It was expected that this vote would come up on Wednesday 23rd April 2008 but the Government have just announced that they will extend tonight’s sitting (Monday 21st) to midnight which means it will be reached very late tonight.
This is very bad because the later it comes up the less likely it is that those in favour (who tend to be older and not given to late nights) will stay.
Indeed many people won’t be there at all because they are expecting the vote on Wednesday!

There is one lawyer, in particular, who frequently appears in the papers as having acted in this way for celebrity clients. I feel, strongly, that if someone has committed an offence, especially one which may cause INJURY OR DEATH to an innocent victim, it is totally wrong for this person to pay a lawyer to exploit a loophole in the law in order to escape punishment for this. (There should, of course, BE no such loopholes but that’s for another petition).

Whether placing an order via telephone, or a website, we, (the ordinary British public) are subjected with "add on’s" (extra selling).

Apparently, the poor staff who have to offer these items are DOWNGRADED if they do not meet their targets by the companies they work for!

It’s not only unfair on our extra telephone bill, but also on the poor staff who work for these "GREEDY" companies!

There has to be be some kind of compliance to protect both parties.

Why do we encourage all our children to study at university in the hope that they will gain education but few seem to be encouraging any real education about love. I would like to be able to attend university, to have the opportunity to learn about love (in terms of humanity, philosophy, history, arts, and science, etc.).

In light of what happened to baby P and other unfortunate childern in the past. I petition the government to bring back the death penalty for the murder of helpless childern.

Bring back a (Deterent) for carrying knifes, Namely the BIRCH anyone carrying a Knife make the sentance a set number of strokes of the Birch this might just deter these thugs.

Hanging should be brought back. It should only be used for people such as murderers, child abusers etc… Why should these pathetic excuses for human beings be allowed to live in this world?

Year after year so called "human beings" are cruelly and inhumanely harming children. When it gets to the courts they are being sentenced in my opinion, with a tap on the wrist and out early for "good behaviour". I speak for all when i say that the punishment needs to fit the crime.However the goverment will not allow the death penalty,therefore life should mean life. And so in the case of baby P, may his death be the marking of a new begining in the way we deal with inhumane criminals

Recently there have been a number of harrowing murders, these include:
• The sickening murder and persistent cruelty of Baby P.
• 2 year old Ainlee Labonte was murdered, covered in 64 scars, scalds, cigarette burns and bruises.
• The murder of Clare Bernal who was shot by her former boyfriend on the shop floor at Harvey Nichols.
• The murder of Nicola Morrin, stabbed to death after years of abuse from her ex boy friend.

There are huge benefits to re-instating the death penalty in the UK:
(1) It guarantees that the murder will not murder again.
(2) It provides assurance and comfort to victims family and friends that justice has been served.
(3) It saves approximately the tax-payer approx £35,000 per year – which could pay for 2 nurses and save lives.

You must ensure that the ‘murderer’ is absolutely guilty, however where there is overwhelming conclusive evidence and the murder is sufficiently cruel to deserve it, we believe the death penalty is the only appropriate solution.

I believe that the time is now right to pose the question of ensuring people who are convicted of the most heinous crimes against the person to be sentenced to death. In the most recent case of "Baby P" we are told that the maximum sentance his three murderers "or abusers" as the law would put it, is 14 years. As a decent citizen and caring parent, i find that absolutely disgusting and merely one other example of how our laws are completely inadequate for our modern society.

In light of the brutal death of Baby P, perhaps it is time for the UK to consider reinstating the death penalty for the perpetrators of such heinous crimes. Support this petition if you agree that the death penalty should be brought back as punishment for crimes such as this one.

In a recent case, beautiful Baby P had his rights taken off him from the people who were meant to enforce them. His right to life, his right to freedom from torture and degraded treatment and more. Why shouuld criminlas who have taken the rights of others be allowed to maintain theirs.

In the light of the baby P tradgedy. It is more necessary then ever, to bring back the death penalty. Cases like that of babyP, must be deterred, and the only way is to bring back the death penalty. It pains me even now to think of what happened to that poor child!

I am sick of hearing on the news about innocent children and adults who are terrorised by their parents or strangers and end up being killed for no reason. I want these offenders to pay for the abuse and harm they do, I want capital punishment to be reintroduced to avoid these monsters being tucked up in a cushty jail for 3 years, playing the latest Xbox game and not being punished for their actions. They need to take responsibility for what they do. With advances in science we can get the right people who commit the crimes!Then we can use the money saved on jail expenses to help our societies to become better places!

In light of the horrific abuse in the recent case of Baby P, we petition the Prime Minister to allow a public referendum on whether Capital Punishment should be re-instated for crimes where children and abused, neglected and/or murdered. Sadly, the case of Baby P is not unique and this happens in our country too often. We need to start thinking about tougher punishments that would act as a deterrent and help protect the children of Britain.

Due to the horrific nature of this crime to Baby P, looking at my little girl who is about the same age it makes me sad that all in this country they get is a hardly worth it jail sentence.
I believe the more horrific crimes should get the just punishment deserved.
The longest sentence I hear is 14 years.
Poor children get attacked and abused in their own homes every day and as a nation I feel something has to be done in the Justice System to help deter these people.

this poor baby boy suffered a short terrible life due to 2 crazy so called human beings. a prison sentence isnt enough justice, any other country would inflict death on them which is no less than they deserve. please lets do something for this little boy and let him have justice for the awful life he led

There is talk of Baby P’s mother being granted lifetime anonymity on her release from prison. This would cost the taxpayer a great deal of money. She, and others like her, should have to take their chances.

This petition is designed ot help out all those who have been bombarded/annoyed/cheesed off by junk from people who follow papers such as the Daily Mail and The Sun word for word.

We need to get together and stop these people having access to the internet so that we are saved from their endless self-righteous tripe that they feel the need to peddle.

Articles that are designed to get people to react by creating endless facebook groups on the same subject, articles that get people to go off on witch hunts for accused individuals, articles that serve no prupose other than to mis-inform they’re less than inteligent readers, articles that only appeal to the readers who’s morals and emotions are like sheep and follow the latest tabloid spread on whatever ‘controversy/outrage/shock is this weeks news.

Sign up if you can actually think for yourself and don’t need the news hacks to tell you what to feel/think/do.

rest in peace baby p in ln loving meorery xxxgod bless sweet heartxxxx

We urge the government to raise in Parliament the reintrodution of compulsory National Service as a means of introducing young people to the ethics of discipline, respect for themselves and others, honing or even learning basic skills for use in the wider world.

It was recently announced by The Times newspaper and some other sources that Top of the Pops was returning next year. It has also recently been announced later that the BBC doesnt currently have any plans to the bring the show back to BBC Television. Therefore this is a petition to urge the BBC to bring back the show which was axed in 2006.

This is a petition from a number of McFly Fans who are fed up of hearing All About You played at every single gig!
It was alright the first few times we heard it…now this is usually used as the toilet/drink break on tour.

Quotes From Fans:

‘ALL ABOUT YOU MAKES ME WANT TO CURL UP INTO THE FEOTAL POSITION AND CRY’

‘we have to hear all about *beep* you, over and over and over and over. you can’t dance to it, you can’t even sway to it, what the bloody hell is the point of it?! haha’

‘people would rather hear a song from the new album rather than one which is played every single tour.’

‘It is Played Far Too Many Times’

‘Why can’t they just learn a NEW song and play that over and over again’

‘All About You is a buzz kill’

We are genuine McFly fans who pay a lot of money to travel over the country to see them on tour and at summer gigs.
We’re just fed up of having to hear the same song at every gig.

With Utter disappointment of the last episodes of Stargate Atlantis us UK Viewers, Ending with some of the poorest story lines they need to make another 20 episodes, and to include the EVIL Asgards and wrap up some of the untied ends to some of the storyline’s.

I am starting this petition to complain about the exit of John Sergeant from Strictly come dancing. It has become apparent that Mr Sergeant has decided to leave the show because he felt he didn’t deserve to be in the competition.

We as a nation are not as naïve as the BBC think and we do not believe for one second that this decision was made by John Sergeant himself. We are in no doubt that he has been forced out by the show’s organisers. If the organisers do not want John Sergeant in the show, they should not allow the public to cast a vote. He is being kept in the show by the public because he is a popular person. The show is not just about dancing skills, but also about entertainment and we as a nation find John Sergeant very entertaining.

We request that you ask the show to immediately reinstate John Sergeant and if this is not done, we will have no choice, but to start a protest outside the building of where Strictly Come Dancing is staged as well as outside the House of Commons.

It’s hardly a credible representation of a democratic society when each petition is "signed" by a handfull of people. Not one of these petitions have made any real difference. The majority in the country don’t use the site, so what is the point?

My name is Katie Green. This year I won my dream job and was signed as the new face of Wonderbra. All my dreams had come true. I was following in the footsteps of one of my idols Eva Herzigova. I really respected her because she was the same as me a curvy size 12 girl and not the rakes we now see walking down the catwalk and plastered all over the media.

Then I had a massive knock to my confidence I was signed with a top London modeling agency and told to loose 2 stone, despite being 10st 5lb and 5ft 10ins, or say goodbye to a modeling career. I started to starve myself and managed to loose 7 pounds in 1 week. I was treated with no respect by this agency and decided I’d prefer to not have a modeling career instead of sacrificing my health and happiness.

Why should models have to starve themselves to have a career and why should the women of Britain be made to feel “fat” or “ugly” for being a size 10 or above. I think its time we finally put a stop to this. I am hoping for 20,000 signatures and then I will present this to Number 10 Downing Street and the Prime Minister.

it will cost hard working tax payers less in the long run then if i went on the dole which i will have to do soon if i dont find a job.
some of us would rather work then go on the doland im asking for a bit of help and with your signatures they will have to help me in some way
so please sign and help me get back to work after over 4yrs and now aged 29
THANK YOU

Who thinks with taxi fares, we pay too much; even to go to somewhere not far from that place you were picked up?

Who thinks it is ridiculous that the charge is £2.50p for the start of the drive?

Throughout the existence of the UEFA Champion’s League the football league, in their wisdom, have scheduled football league games to be played on the same night. This then in turn affects the attendances at these league games, with many supporters deciding to stay at home and watch the Champion’s League games on television. Surely with many Football League clubs suffering financial difficulties it would make sense to schedule the games when more people are likely to attend. We, therefore, ask the Prime Minister to speak to the Football League and advise them not to schedule midweek League games on the same night as Champion’s League matches.

This is a petition to make David Mitchell (Peep Show and Would I Lie To You) do a stand up comedy tour within the next year. He is one of the funniest people ever so he should be doing stand up comedy.

We deserve an extra day off, so please make it a three day weekend!

Ever since 2007 The BBC Has ruined the Pudsey Bear for CiN He is meant to represent damaged childhood (hence the bandage) while still being cute and a loveable image. Now he looks like a fat, creepy human-bear with a pair of knickers over his eye.

Many African preachers set up churches in the UK. There is growing concern that some never attended a seminary and bring a theology of accusing children of witchcraft resulting in abuse. We need to see a system of regulation. We need genuine and qualified Pastors having undergone proper seminary training and ordination by a recognised Church body. Please pass a bill to facilitate proper church registration and inspection.

Action should be taken to stop ‘political correctness’ – why companies i.e. Royal Mail calls Christmass Greetings Seasons’ Greetings???
We must preserve our culture and if somebody does not like Christmas than doors are open…

Is the goverment blind as well as being stupid.Bring us into the 21st century and legalise prostitution. At least this way we could have some control like Europe does.

Its the oldest profession and always will be, dating as far back as biblical times. If prostitution was legalised and kept in controlled areas, it would be safer for all concerned – primarily the working ladies.

The government should make it a legal requirement that all working establishments would have to have special licences and be up to a minimum standard, in terms of health and safety etc.

Earnings taken could then be subject to tax and NI.

Surely this benefits all concerned and allows the appropriate authorities to govern it sensibly.

At the end of the day, if its an act between consenting adults, then whats the problem. Should also help in the reduction of illegal trafficking of girls from other countries.

It is the oldest profession, always will be, will always be around.

Women did a valuable job during WW11 by working in all sorts of capacities to help the war effort while the men were away fighting. After the war the women were coerced back to being housewives and running the home and looking after the children so that the men returning from the war could find employment. If you look back at any era prior to the mid 60′s men would work and bring home a wage that was sufficient to support a wife and three kids.
Not many men can now afford to support his family unless his wife works, so the employers have got away with paying less than inflation for many a year. This creates a catch 22 situation as it now needs either a joint income of 28K or a single income of 33K to live or you have to drop to living on benefits. ( Joint income attracts two peoples personal allowance )
If there was an infinite number of jobs the only problem with women working would be the social problems we have with the youth of today who have been latch key kids with no role model or discipline in their lives.

I would like to government to pay an allowance to all mothers who stay at home to bring up their children

Not to be penalised for not working.

Sharon Shoesmith is Director of Children and Young People’s Services in the London Borough of Haringey. Her department is directly responsible for the prolonged and systematic failings that led to the torture and murder of ‘Baby P’. Despite this, she has arrogantly defended herself, and refused to either resign or sack any of the people in her department who were responsible for these failings, which have shocked and disgusted the country.

During his short life a beutiful baby known as baby p suffered horrific abuse at the hands of the people who were supposed to care for him and despite having 50 injurys and 60 visits from social workers in his short life he was still allowed to remain in the place were this torture happened. The social services are just as much to blame for this as the evil people who done it and should be held accountable for his death. This beautiful child needs justice

I can’t understand why the people who did nothing for baby P have not resigned in shame. I beg the prime minister to sack Shoesmith, Ward, Christou Al Zayyat and also to charge them with child neglect.

The above should be sacked and not allowed to have anything more to do with children or the care of children. They should not be allowed to resign.

The abject failings in handling the case from start to finish are shocking and abhorrent. The services provided and the standards of these for child welfare in the borough can not be tolerated in the slightest and swiftand definitive action must be taken to prevent those that have allowed this tragedy to unfold, are removed from their positions to prevent this ever happening again. There are no apologies for this level of performance and those responsible must carry the burden of this tragedy professionally as well as morally.

‘Child abuse and neglect affects everyone. We may think
our families are unaffected, but child abuse is a thief, living
amongst us. It robs our treasure, damages our peace of
mind, but most importantly, it steals our future, for
damage done to a child is damage done to us all.’

After reading the details about the suffering and injuries sustained by such a lovely looking boy it sickens me that after only a few years these animals who done this too him will be freed!!! How can u do this? It will show people that it is okay too do this to there Children. Put a stop to this and punish them 4 wot they did 2 poor Baby P. They should have done to them wot they put poor Baby P through and as that cant be done, please make the sentance a life one as that is the least they deserve!!!!!

The torture, mutiliation and murder of Baby P is a perfect example of where this law would apply.

As our government, you are asked to represent the views of the people of this country. There is a ‘step-change’ in opinion on this issue, that would be validated if you allow the publication of this ePetition.

ePetition admin: Baby P was failed by everyone in life. Please please do not fail him in death.

its about time, the powers that be listened to their public. we want the death sentence brought back and carried out against the evil people who commit crimes like the one against baby p. give the public the vote.

The killers of BABY P should have been charged with murder NOT MANSLAUGHTER.What they did was DELIBERATE. I feel it is time the VOTERS of this country had a voice.We the undersigned are angry that CRIMINALS are `getting off` with very violent crimes.It is time THE PEOPLE had their say in how these LOW LIFE are dealt with.

I am asking for the Prime Minster to bring back the death penalty in this country, due to the fact that murder/cruelty resulting in the death of an innocent must be met by the full arm of the Law. If not make a life for a life if they kill then take there rights away and leave them to die in prison. Please change the Law.

After the baby p case being brought to the nations attention and hearing his abusers will only receive a maximum 14 years imprisonment, I believe captial punishment should be brought back. It works in the USA and though doesn’t prevent the crimes from happening doesn’t cost the taxpaper as much in the high costs of prison stays. It also will keep high category offenders from ever being allowed out into public again, thus keeping the streets of britain slightly safer.

Everybody should become a christian as it is the only true, peaceful faith.

This should be done world wide. As Jesus is the Son of God saviour of mankinds sins. He was put to death upon the cross for us all. Then on the third day he rised back to life.

In the Judas scroll their is an argument that Jesus is not the son of God. So if Jesus never made such claims why is their an argument agaisn’t him being the son of God?

Jesus must have made such claims for their to be an argument for him being the son of God.

And that scroll was in the time of Jesus. And the fact that Jesus claimed to be King of the Jews then so what 2000 years later all of the Jews were almost wiped off the face of the plannet. So now who do you say he is?

What is happening in this country. Noone is afraid of Police and Government. Crime are happening whenever criminals wish to commit it. Day or Night they have no fear as our Government do not take strict measures. Unless Government or Police shows what they are about; normal decent people won’t be able to live peacefully. People who hurt others ruthlessly have no right no live. THis country should show criminals there is no place for them in this country.

Please bring back the death pentalty.

Britian is a nation that has gone too soft on criminals. Especially those who would take a young life away at their own cold hands.

So everybody get signing and we can bring justice for the victims and their families.

why should pedophils have the right to live there inhuman, alls you do is lock them up for a few months and let them back out on the streets to commit again theres no reabilitateing some one who commits such crimes they should have there lifes put to a end you should do some think about it

Why should people who conflict death or a life time of insecurity and pain on other people get away with a few years in prison. Bring back the death penalty for these offenders.

national service for all school levers that have no intention of going on to further education or have not got employment by the time the new term starts in september

I will attempt to the best of my ability to reflect the views of two extreme constituents with opinions on “acceptable” facial hair. I will begin with the thoughts of many creationists, “I am in the image that God created for me.” Many religions worldwide see the removal of any body hair as a direct insult to God, a good example of this are the Nazarene’s thought to be close to Jesus Christ himself. It is also thought that shaving is an extreme act of supreme vanity showing superiority over the God who created him.

The humanist viewpoint does not differ greatly either with the quote, “I am as I have evolved” or more directly “I am a man, as my DNA has destined me to be.” Surely we males would not have been selected through millions of years of evolution if hair on the face or the body for that matter had not have been of some importance?

Thank you very much for your time and responses would be much appreciated.

You have to pass a test to drive a car, a passport to travel abroad, a CV to get a job, you have to get a licence to get married, and yet you can bring another life into this world regardless of your qualifications, lifestyle, responsibility level, paitence, age etc etc.

If you had to get a licence to allow pregnancy it might make people think twice about being more careful about having unprotected sex because they’d be breaking the law, it might control teenage pregnancies, drug addicted babies. Babies that are beaten because their parents are not suitable and responsible to be just that, parents!

At the end of the day appling for a licence would mean you have to have half a brain and some common sense which I would say are two good starting qualifications for to be parents.

There needs to be some form of law to bring a new life into this world, sign the petition if you agree that something serious should be done to STOP alot of people bringing a new life into this world because they just aren’t suitable, responsiable, drug free, non alcoholic or good enough to do so.

to sort out all the empty properties and to stop people having to sleep on the streets its 2008 people should not have to sleep in car parks most homeless people are white there is never any bme groups homeless we should look after our own first my grandad fought for this country and if he knew his granddaughter was sleeping on the streets 3 years ago he would be turning in his grave,sort all abandoned properties out and help our own first

We cannot watch it any longer! Murders, crying hungry and sick children. We need to use our infulence to teach African leaders to develop their countries. If China could do it, Africa can as well. EU just has to give them helping hand to in business and infrastructure. Thanks for signing!

ban the display of the eu flag and symbols as they were removed from the eu constitution when it was re drawn as the lisbon treaty, (which britain has signed to) now they have been reintroduced thus becoming the constitutional emblem and therefore britain should now hold the promised referendum.

The commercial disgrace and complete lack of respect for the rememberence of fallen servicemen and women is unacceptable and should be regulated by the Government as businesses seem unable to respect the wishes of the general public.

Currently we are seeing advertising for Christmas starting as early as September or October.Which in my opinion is an utter disgrace and is nothing but commercial greed and the exploitation and abuse of a greatly loved and respected religious occasion.

Therefore, why can’t the Goverment at least consider bringing in a code of practice or legislation whereby,advertising for Christmas does not begin until the beginning of December. (Just like they do in many countries on the continent) Surely that’s got to be a better solution, than the commercial greed fest we’re forced to witness ever earlier, every year.

Well done Mr. Brown,
What are you? Robin Hood in reverse.
By insisting the Banks lower interest rates, you have robbed the poor to give to the rich, yet again.
Pensioners, who have already been hit hard by fuel & food inflation, lost most of their saved assets because you asked them to invest in Stock Exchange Securities, are now to receive much reduced interest on their cash savings, so that those who have borrowed carelessly may benefit.
Most Pensioners are now worse off than they have ever been.
My advise to the young – NEVER SAVE A PENNY – CARRY ON SPENDING OTHER PEOPLES MONEY – IF YOU DON’T – Mr Brown will soon relieve you of any savings you may have, once you reach retirement.
Recipey for total National Disaster.
No Vote for you Mr. Brown!

The leaked report showing that the threat from Islam has not receded shows the only thing to be done is to ban the practice of Islam and any outward displays of the religion.

He’s an eloquent and brilliant man. Let’s show him how special he is.

An increasing number of telecommunications companies are charging customers for receiving hard copies of their phone bills. The companies reasoning behind this is that paper bills are bad for the environment. They wish customers to pay online and therefore forgo this additional charge. Once they impose this fee, a percentage of the charge will be passed on to a third party to ‘plant a tree’. This charge penalises those with no access to the internet, I.T. equipment and those less well off in society. This thinking is effectively companies levelling their own corporate ‘green’ tax! Companies should leave it to customers to decide which good cause, if any, their money should go towards. They should only charge for the cost of the service they provide.

we want the sick groups taken off like `dead baby jokes appreciation society` or the `stillbirth is gods practical joke`

we want facebook to review its groups and to ban the creators of these offensive groups

Thank you, Please Vote. Merry XMAS.

Serious crimes could be punished by the death sentence. Lesser crimes could be punished by fines and community service.
This would save a lot of public money and prison would no longer be a place where people learn to become better criminals. The death sentence would act as a deterrent and cut the rate of reoffending.

These are much loved and supported facilities used by young and old alike and they play a vital role in the community. Everyday the pools are full of people of all shapes and sizes keeping themselves fit and active. The staff are fantastic and there is always a friendly atmosphere whether it’s yoga, bowls or kids playing football. These centres are in areas which desperately need such facilities- isn’t it the council’s job to provide them?

We wholeheartedly oppose Wirral Council’s proposal to close Guinea Gap Baths, thereby removing a vital leisure centre from a community that desperately needs it. This is a section of the Wirral that has large numbers of underprivileged families, many of whom do not have the resources to travel long distances to enjoy their leisure pursuits. The closure of this facility will also end the long history of Wallasey Swimming Club, which has encouraged thousands of children to swim, both for fun and competitively. These children have nowhere else to go if the closure is allowed to take place.
