Keeping dogs on leads is cruel. Puppies need to run about to enable their bone structure to develop. Every dog expert say that you must let your dog off a lead to release the excess energy that they have. The law is that a dog should be on leash or controlled by voice, this is a fair and perfectly good law. An unexercised dog can become destructive and nasty. To not let a dog of lead is irresponsible.

Allow dogs off leash and in public parks. Parents with dogs want to take both child and dog in the park. Children like to play with their dogs and where is better in a park or some dark distant out of sight forest.

There are many reasons why we might want Brown to resign, but rather than having lots of narrow petitions on this topic (most of which have been rejected), I wanted one for all of us.

Albert Einstein once said that if bees disappeared, man would have only four years of life

Honey bees are now really struggling to survive with many colonies dying out. Although the Government is giving some funding to the National Bee Unit, why on earth is VAT charged on beekeeping equipment?

If anything, a grant should be given to encourage more people to keep bees.

According to the UK government and media, climate change is melting the north pole ice. The truth is it is actually growing so this appears to contradict the assertion that climate change is a reality.

We call upon Gordon Brown to explain why he insists climate change is a reality in the face of this evidence to the contrary.

Food is an essential commodity for every one, and as such should not be subjected to VAT, people are entitled to eat well– many people are becoming unemployed, many loosing their incomes and their homes, families are finding daily life increasingly more difficult, taxing food is counterproductive to a person’s survival.

we, as mods, feel our way of life is being hindered by the unfair and provocative costs. we,as mods, demand a fairer deal. and the reintroduction of wigan pier as an all night mod club

Why do the foreigners when they come to the Uk to migrate from the eastern european countries looking for work refuse to speak any English.

The UK Govermant SHOULD be made to make every person who is entering this country, That they learn english or can speak it good before they apply for residency.

They should learn it as us BRITISH PEOPLE when we migrate to another country learn it to fit in with the populas.

We feel that patients in England with chronic illnesses are being treated unfairly as they still have to pay in full for their prescriptions.

We cannot understand why patients who have a chronic illness such as Ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s and Asthma, just to name a few, are still having to pay for their prescriptions.

Many patients are having to make choices between paying for the basic requirements in life and paying for their prescriptions. The quality of life for many patients would be greatly improved if they could collect all the prescriptions prescribed for them.

Since April 2007 all patients in Wales have been entitled to free prescription and in Scotland patients irrespective of whether the patients have a chronic illness or not are paying for their prescriptions at a reduced rate on a sliding scale until 2011-2012 when they will become free is this just?

The goverment is saying you are to young to smoke or drink at 18 but still want your vote there by saying you are not educated enough to know what is good for you But you are educated enough to know who is the best party to run the goverment of this country If you think 18 should be old enough to smoke/drink and vote then sign this petition.

Any assialum seeker or immigrant who obviously hates us so much has to have the privalage of being allowed to remain in the U.K. revoked. It is time that the human rights of the majority was considered before that of these people, and they have to be deported no matter what threats they CLAIM to be under. The british public has been very patient but that is now wearing very thin. We now read that 90% of immigrants refused permission are allowed to stay, while many are no doubt good people we are FULL. G.Reid

Stop any further immigration into the UK for a period of 10 years to allow the backlog of illegals & asylam seekers to be resolved.

For too long food companies have hidden behind the current law which requires a disclaimer if certain products are used.For example we have all seen “may contain nuts” or “may contain milk or eggs” either something is in there or it is not, this loophole must be closed. if it means the food companies have to introduce more stringent quality control then make it so.

Inroduce a five per cent (5%) pay cut on the 500,000 plus members of the Home Civil Service. Thereby setting an example to the rest of the country. This small cut would save the taxpayers a minimum of £500,000,000.00 pounds a year.

Instead of all the parties wasting precious time and energy on scoring political points against each other – why not set up a coalition government (or at least all work together) so that all the best expertise can pull together; beat this recession and get the country back on its feet and help the people! Arguing between parties does not solve the problem – whereas all working together just might!

The preventable deaths of Baby P & all like him are a clear indictment of Britain’s failure to protect vulnerable children & too frequent over-lenient sentences for child abuse & related deaths convey that as a nation we tolerate such abuse & murder.

Effective measures need to be adopted to recognise & tackle child abuse at its earliest stages. Lord Laming’s recommendations excluded how Social Workers could better perform their jobs on the front line when visiting children at risk, where improvements & clear nationwide guidelines are urgently needed!

The ongoing abuse of a child culminating in their death is far worse than outright murder. So all child abuse related deaths should carry a discretionary life sentence & all participants are equally responsible regardless of who did the abuse & who allowed the abuse to go on unchallenged.

As a nation we wish to say that we will no longer tolerate these heinous crimes against our youngest & most vulnerable.

*Abuse includes neglect

If banks are contractually obliged to pay exorbitant bonuses with money given to them by the taxpayers, then the Government should claim it back through the tax system, because, as everyone knows, bankers do not deserve to receive any money for their greed and incompetence.

I feel it is moraly wrong that vat is put onto common pain relief tablets, cold relief medicines, childrens pain relief, ie:Calpol. These medicines are readily available and give great relief to many people with everyday pains such as toothache, migraine, period pain, infants teething pain, keeping temperature down. Often after a visit to the doctor he may subscribe anti biotics but also suggest pain relief medicine that people have to buy. Also, vat is on ordinary everyday toothpaste, keeping clean teeth is important for good health, (can cause more serious problems within the body). Also vat on sanitary towels is not right, these things are not luxury goods but essentials. Transfer the vat to real luxury goods such as alcohol

CREATE A NEW ENGLISH COIN TO HONOUR ST GEORGE

It’s a well known phrase among bikers… “Bikers Make Safer Drivers”. We would like to see the DVLA require all learner drivers to first pass the theory and road tests on a motorcycle or moped under 125cc. The theory test could be combined to cover both bike and car licenses, saving time and money, but the learner should be required to pass the bike/moped road test before being allowed in a car.

We believe that this approach would increase the threat and speed awareness of new drivers, and should have a tangible impact on the associated accident and fatality rates. We also think that it might help car drivers more aware of motorcyclists, a more practical solution than running television or radio advertising.

Mr Prime Minister, please do not back away from making the roads safer, even at political cost, it’s not worth people’s lives! This does not have to cost the government much time or money at all, it just needs political will. There will always be detractors, especially those who are scared of motorcycles. Let’s not let fear stand in the way of saving lives!

Get the Banks to stop the arrogance and start releasing tax payers money to the tax payer and their employers. The company I work for has been brought to its knees by the simple fact that the Banks are unwilling to lend money so that firms, like the one I work for can progress. Since October, when this started, they have laid off 20% of the work force. Previous to this the Company was booming. You can point the finger at one institution – the Banks of this country. HELP NOW before its too late. Gordon Brown, the man partly responsible for the biggest ressession in living memory.

It’s simple really, in light of the current economic situation we think it’s about time the government stepped in to help the people, small businesses and anyone else who is finding survival a struggle right now. We bailed out the banks recently and are paying for it in a number of ways. We need to see the banks lending again. If this does not happen then we are in trouble. Since the banks aren’t doing this out of their own concern for the welfare of the economy we think it’s time Mr Brown stepped in to stop this financial triage.

The undersigned believe bendy buses should be made to make accordian noises when going round cxorners. This follows a popular campaign on social networking site ‘facebook’, we believe this would greatly benefit the community and increase the popularity of bendy buses. Road rage would also be hilarious

The PM must wait by the mailbox at 6PM on March 1st. He knows why. A man will call him on his mobile phone- the PM must refer to him as ‘Joe’. Instructions will come then.

I feel that giving free sweets to the general public on Fridays would increase their working concentration and enjoyment in the workplace. Spirits would be lifted and everyone would be generally happier, causing them to work more enjoyably and perform better. This would, in turn, improve productivity and performance, resulting in an increased level of economic activity in the UK and hastening the end of the credit crunch. Ta-dah!

Jezza is the greatest – making him PM would be great – no more car tax, bendy buses, highly priced fuel (well, possible diesel) or stupid extra government money gaining taxes to do with anything.

lowestoft would benefit threw administrive power, money, Waveney District council are in debt yet they want to build a campas however they recentley laid workers beacause of the debt. gorlston left suffolk and went to norfolk not that long ago lowestoft should do the same. suffolk countey council is the reason why lowestoft does not have a third crossing however great yarmouth needs one to but are more likeley to get one beacuse they are in norfolk and the goverement pump money into great yarmouth why do you think it has more retail parks than lowestoft. lowestoft is with g yarmouth for 1st east regeneration g yarmouth has a outer harbour being built nothing has happened to lowestoft. by combining the lowestoft and great yarmouth it will nearley have the population of norwich. norwich is still east anglias capital city and its in norfolk. suffolk has ipswich but its a town.

This pertition is to ALLOW MARCHES ON PARLIAMENT because it’s ludacris that they have made it a illegal to do so. It was made illegal just because the metropolitan police had to short notice. It’s our RIGHT if we choose to march on parliament it’s our free will to do so. Our civil liberties are being eroded what will it be next just because someone doesn’t like what your saying you will not be allowed to say it next. THERE IS NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN THIS COUNTRY. ALLOW MARCHES ON PARLIAMENT

we would like the government to end the pampering of criminals, stop using our money to give some criminals a new identity when they are released, make the prisons harder, we want the prisons to be as they should be, no television, computer games, cd’s etc, we want zero tollerance on crime, we want tougher sentences so crime does not pay, life to mean life.we want back our freedom of speech. we want the government to stop pandering to political correctness.
we want to bring back national service and send first time offenders to army style boot camp. we want the government to stop telling us what we should eat, what we should buy, not to smoke and not to drink, we can make our own decisions based on the infomation provided.

We the undersigned abhor and condemn Israel’s military aggression. We believe that banning Israel from Eurovison this year would, because of its trivial nature and huge audience reach, be taken more seriously by Israel than any academic boycott or demonstration, however shrill.

Of all Israeli exports, its pop music is the easiest to boycott as nobody cares whether they hear it or not. And don’t say we’re not being even-handed. We can’t call for Palestine to be evicted. Palestinians aren’t allowed to take part in Eurovision. Even though they live right next to Israel. Which let’s face it is actually in the Middle East. Not Europe.

As the Israeli government get ready to hit the 1000 dead Palestinians mark without criticism from Gordon Brown, will the PM let us know what more the IDF can do to elicit even a slither of criticism from Britain?

i want israel to stop bombing civialian and stoped the war as soon as possibal

We togeather can ban this, ‘chavy’ and ‘boy racer’ type car so we will finally be safe on the roads of the UK,
Instead of driving along and hearing the ridiculus ‘Boom’ of the sub and the ‘Borm and screaming of the 1.1 litre engine. This will benift all of the genaral public as this may reduce tyre prices as the owners will stop ‘Pointlessly’ wheel spinning there cereal toys.

Girlguiding – Rainbows, Brownies & Guides is building a national database of all the girls in the units. This database will contain the details of thousands of girls in the UK, such as age, parents names, telephone numbers, email, race, ethic groups etc.

Whilst Girlguiding maintains this information is "safe" we have grave concerns how a voluntary organisation like Guiding going to ensure total security.

Once this information is leaked or lost into the public domain ALL the girls are at risk . This is precisely why many people have the same concerns over the governments intended contactpoint children’s database. Indeed the conservatives have promised to scrap this database as itis a high risk.

The Deloitte report about the ContactPoint database. stated "It should be noted that risk can only be managed, not eliminated, and therefore there will always be a risk of data security incidents occurring"

If we have serious concerns over the ContactPoint database then we should not allow a voluntary organisation to do the same with fewer controls.

The repercussions of information falling into the wrong hands could be extremely dangerous

Proposals are suggested that inmates of Guantanamo Bay should be housed in our over stretched infrastructure.

Recently, Graham Stringer MP has made comments where he claims dyslexia is a myth. This is clearly not true. There are several people in the UK living with dyslexia today, and for them day-to-day life is very hard. He is lying, as according to the British Dyslexic Association, 10% of his constituents suffer from the condition. The condition is not ‘cruel fiction’, and should not be consigned to the ‘dustbin of history’. As you can clearly see, Graham Stringer MP is making clearly false statements, and should be removed from his MP seat as soon as possible.

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?

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.

UK gay ban on blood donors.

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

I hope to encourage Coca-cola to play the classic coca-cola advert on british television in the christmas 2008. I feel the classic coca-cola christmas advert put’s the fun & christmasy feel back into britain.

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.

Social workers should legally insist that all clothing, except for maybe underwear or nappy, be removed and food/paint/makeup/ointment etc be cleaned off at every visit. As highlighted in Baby P’s case, clothing and ‘chocolate’ can hide a multitude of sins. Children old enough to speak for themselves may be too afraid to do so.

If this was implemented, abusive carers would soon understand that it won’t be so easy to hoodwink social workers or to hide signs of physical abuse.

Up to four children die each week in England from abuse or neglect & many more suffer serious harm or injury. The NSPCC says that babies & toddlers are particularly vulnerable to physical abuse.

Many instances of child abuse are never brought to the attention of the authorities. It should therefore be compulsory for carers to take babies & toddlers for a health check & physical examination at least every 3 months, for the first year or two, to help detect any signs of neglect or physical abuse. If carers fail to attend a health check, social services should be alerted and the child seen without delay.

Responsible carers already take their children to health centres regularly, so this system should only serve to highlight any irresponsible, neglectful or abusive carers. It would help prevent the very young and most vulnerable from slipping through the net and hopefully prevent further tragedies like that of Baby P and Tiffany Wright.

Thank you.
