set rates for National Insurance by gender.

by Mr Ed Harris

Women take up more nhs resources than men, live longer and draw more pension than men; therefore they should pay higher national insurance than men.

This seems fair.

If they didn’t want the extra expense they should have just been men like me and Mr Ed did, although in his case it’s technically called a stallion.

It’s a hard life being a working parent

include every parent with a household income of less than £16,040 to be entitled to claim free school meals.

by Ms Susan Corcoran

If you receive Working Tax Credits you are not entitled to claim even though your total household income may be less than this. Parents who work are under much greater expense due to travelling to work etc. and are therefore being financially penalised for working.Anyone on any other benefit can claim as long as their income is under £16040. This injustice needs to be put right.

Ah, the inflated sense of self-entitlement that comes of being a parent in the UK with a poor understanding of why exactly the unemployed actually receive benefits.

Also, that’s an oddly specific amount of money.

Offer tax relief to parents who pay for their children to be educated privately or through independent schools thereby reducing the burden on the state education system.

by Richard Wood

Many parents put their children through privately funded schools. Whilst this is an independent choice of those involved, by doing so they reduce the burden on the state education system. Therefore this petition aims to allow parents to gain tax relief for their choice by allowing them tax relief on payments made in relation to school fees. Under existing arrangements parents and guardians are currently taxed for services which they do not benefit from.

You don’t benefit from them because you’ve opted not to. And how does asking the government to give you some money back reduce the burden on the educational system? Where do you think your rebate would come from?

Edward Manning Deserves Free Money!

Posted by Andrew @ February 1st, 2010 8:39 pm. Filed under: Anything I Want Should Be Free,I Deserve Free Money! — Tags: Edward Manning —

to consider and look at free access into ALL attractions and places we visit for people with special needs.

by Edward Manning

For those with special needs should be able to have free access into all attractions and places to visit so that it helps them with their budgeting, helps them be more active and they have a more enjoyable life and know that there are places out there for them to enjoy without any fee.

All the government need to do is see if this would be a possible thing with all the attractions/companies and places we visit and say it is for the benefit of those with special needs. Also to think, the government could also look at those with special needs having a card/pass that entitles them free access.

This I believe would also help those with special needs living independently manage their money and have more freedom!

If this could ever be considered as a new rule for those who suffer with special needs, this would be a great thing for those and help them so much with money management.

Possibly, in one of his endless and near-identical petitions he has mentioned it, but I don’t off-hand remember whether Edward Manning has a dependent with special needs or if he himself has special needs (although the quality of his prose is not entirely silent on the issue). But the point is that he appears to spend a worrying amount of his time petitioning the government for such people to be given almost everything for free which other people have to pay for. His other petitions argue against ATM service charges, demand cheaper food and taxis, or ask for cash prizes for quitting smoking.

We have now featured eight of Mr Manning’s petitions on this website, and seven of those have been nothing more than him trying to wrangle free stuff out of Gordon Brown. Three of these have illogically played the ‘special needs’ card.

If you’re reading this, Edward Manning, allow me to clarify: you are not entitled to free stuff.

Pay us for writing petitions.

by ian miller (rejected)

By submitting a petition, do the creators know that they may be influencing or even creating government policy?
The government are using this system to boost the policy units ideas, no doubt as they are bereft of many themselves.
Its an excellent idea, getting people involved, however, its also using them on the cheap.
How much does the goverment pay its policy devisers, its special advisers and closest confidants?
Lots of our taxpayers money, lots and lots indeed.
So, pay us, the real policy creators, for the decent petitions we write, as we are the thinkers and do the work, too.
don’t you think that’s fair, or is this country not fair?

And wear a tie, dammit.

Make all benefits means tested.

by Mr S Miller

I am disabled, get £90 per week in benefits, yet because I do not get income support, I have to pay for prescriptions, at £7.20 per go. If I get 2 in a week, that is nearly 1/3 of my total money per week. Some, not all retired have savings in excess of 100s of thousands of pounds, and ex beatles and Rolling Stones members are entitled to free prescriptions purely because they are over 65, yet are very wealthy, some reputed in excess of 100s of millions. So I plead to decency to make ALL benefits means tested, its illogical and unfair for people with millions to claim free charges, whilst some with little have to pay. For a fairer society this MUST happen

I love the assumption that because the surviving members of the Beatles and the Stones are old enough to get free prescriptions then logically they must be doing so.

let every child have the right to have EMA even if there income is over £30,000 a year.

by Gabriella Alberti

to be honest i dont think it is fair for people that have families that earn over £30,000 cant recieve ema for there children, if people are paid for going to college i still think everyone should by the goverment

Listen, people: If you’re going to write a petition to the Prime Minister that is in some way connected to the educational system, for the love of God, The Devil, and Bob could you at least get the spelling and grammar right in your ridiculous, overinflated-sense-of-self-entitlement requests? If not for me, then for yourselves?

help the taxpayer & the banks.

by Angela Cameron

Instead of handing over money directly to the banks, pay into each taxpayers rent, mortgage or savings account an equal amount of money.. the money will encourage joe public to spend, will still aid the banks & will kick start the economy! win.. win.. win!

No it won’t. They tried the same thing over here in the US last year and it didn’t work.

take into consideration the single people who work full time on minimum wage and still cant live because they dont qualify for anything including to help.

by MISS AMANDA WATERSON

the goverment want young people to go to work when leaving school the people who cant afford to go to uni or other extra education who want to do the right thing an support themselves get no help as we dont qualify for anything if you are single work full time for minimum wage what can you do you dont qualify for any benefits or council properties to rent unless you wait between 10 and 20 years . the only thing you qualify for is 25%off your council tax its hard to look for further education because if you work full time you are restricted to times and if you finish work at 6 you cant get to collage by 6.30 on public transport so most courses are unavailiable and you have to pay to do them anyway ,so if your struggleing to live on minimum wage how do you pay there needs to be support for people who want to work and help themselves otherwise if they dont know what to do they take the easy way and get others to pay.

Your appalling spelling aside (and I hope one of the classes you’re taking in College is English because, frankly, what the Hell), you do realise you contradict yourself in this petition, right? You say single people don’t qualify for any concessions and then, one run on sentence later, state that they get 25% off of their Council Tax. 25%? That’s almost a quarter!

Everyone That Has Gone Into Voluntary Education Should Recieve £15-£20 EMA.

by Evangeline Bircham

I have gone into further educaion but do not recieve EMA as my parents earn above the limit to recieve it. Many students that go to the 6th form that i am studying at, also do not recieve EMA, we all think that people who choose to study in further education believe that we should recieve some money as EMA (£15 – £20) This would help most of the students as it is very hard to find jobs with the current recession that is taking place.

Ah, the self-entitlement that comes with being a student coupled with the self-entitlement that comes with being British. What a potent combination.

unfair free travel cards.

by david mashiter

as a bus company we only recieve a percentage for the now card(old age pensioner free travel cards) at the moment its about 50p in the pound so because of this we are losing out other councils still get the same money even if they only get 100 visitors or 7 million a year which is unfair so because of this the bus company may have to lose up to 80 jobs the goverment therefore need to allow more funding as to size of issuing town and as per visitor

Two problems here. Firstly, “50p in the pound” is 50% of all total earnings, which is not too shabby if you ask me. Secondly, you’re supposedly representing “the bus company”, whichever one that may be, and you can’t even be arsed to use proper grammar and punctuation in your petition? A petition that ideally you’d like the Prime Minister to read and perhaps do something about? Do you not see what is wrong with that?
