This country is absolutely filthy, helping to create the ‘broken society’ that many people believe that we live in. I am ashamed to drive along many of the roads in the UK, the roadsides piled high with bottles, plastic, take away items, cans etc etc.Ponds & rivers are often polluted with rubbish floating around, helping to destroy the wildlife. Laybys often don’t even have litterbins! The streets in our towns & cities are full of rubbish, chewing gum, fag ends,cigarette packets,sweet wrappers, graffiti etc.Bins overflow everywhere & seem to be rarely emptied, this leads to a sense of decay & that British could’nt care less atitude. Many tourists are shocked! My solution is to employ teenagers on Community service to work on this & to do something constructive with their time, I also would bring in heavy fines, ie £1000 a time, for throwing rubbish, rather like Singapore where there is zero rubbish. After a short period,of government advertising , after the first few people were fined , we would all become used to it, & what joy to travel our roads & walk in the towns & countryside again, free of the litter of modern society!
I need to speak to someone about the fact some bright spark has signed my petition (not this one, clearly) twice, which isn’t OK – I need to get it removed. Can I find a phone number? No. Can the PM’s office switchboard help? No. Do you answer emails or tweets? No. Could you please provide some way of accessing technical help?! I don’t want to start a petition for this, it’s just the only way I can think of to contact you that I haven’t already tried! The actual petition is at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/selfemployedNI/ and the person who signed it twice is
# Mrs Carole Anne Benton # Mrs Carole Benton
Oh yes, please do put a phone number on the ePetition website. I’d love for the ePetition Team to actually hear what some of these people sound like. I imagine Keith Jones would never get off the line.
If the Government get rid of these Flats it will hopefully get rid of the Getto’s and People will Respect where they Live and their Children will grow up as Good Citizens and Parents.
The people who lived in the tower blocks will simply cease to be, and the Happiness Fairy will sprinkle her fairydust on the building site and wonderful houses with beautiful back gardens will sprout out of the ground! The people in the neighbourhoods will suddenly become kind, wonderful, generous people who’ll put away their hoodies, pull out their acoustic guitars, and sing songs of joy and rapture until the sun goes down.
I think that the government should put a limit on the number of football tickets sold to executive members of football clubs, as at the moment most tickets to cup finals are being sold to executives, who have no real support for the club, and real fans of the clubs are getting no opportunity to attend these matches.
My husband was falsely accused of g.b.h and sexual assault. many people are suffering due to being falsely accused. I believe this is totally unfair. the law should drop charges against people who are falsely accused
I’ve been saying for a long time that the present system, under which people found not guilty are sent to prison anyway, is in dire need of revision.
I have been trying for over a year to find a job now, and to no avail. There are thousands if not millions of people across the UK in the same position as myself. Since the current recession is largely the fault of you, the Prime Minister, in your current role, and your previous role of Chancellor of the Exchequer, I believe it is your responsibility to find work for every one of us.
YOU get a job! And YOU get a job! EVERYBODY GETS A JOB!
i would like the goverment to change the way unpaid parking tickets are left. if european lorries park and get booked in this country they mostley go unpaid why cant there be a new law that if its not paid a warrent marker is placed on the company that ownes the lorrie regardless where its from and when it comes back in the country the police on board computers in there cars are actevated and the lorries are stopped and inpounded untill the fine and access fine is paid the goverment issue budgets to councils every year the councils are loseing millions of pounds by this easy get out drivers have. change it and the goverment will not have to pay out so much saving a lot of money i live in dover kent the gate way to england these drivers at the moment are parking anyware they like and consantley getting away with it and cauesing thousands of pounds of damage every year by the way they park change the law and save money its so easy i would love a reply thank you martin
It starts out with a fairly sensible, nay reasonable request – European lorry drivers do have a habit of parking wherever they like (even in my old hometown of Luton, where they’d just find a small backroad and park up to sleep for the afternoon). However after this our boy Martin descends into science fiction bollocks, asking for the vehicle to somehow be switched off remotely. At that point the petition turns into a letter from a seven year-old.
I completely agree that parking tickets given to lorries and vehicles originating from overseas should be collected in some manner, but this Will Smith I, Robot bollocks isn’t the way to go about doing it.
Sign this petition to ban homework in school. Homework should be banned because work is for at school and after school they should be spending time on doing other things. Teachers don’t like taking it home to mark either.
every one dissevers a chance in life…even animals! so why coop them up all day? they need to be free to make their full Potential so please sign this petition to free their lives…
I’m sharing this petition not because I have a problem with preventing cruelty to animals, but because I think the notion that being couped up on a box is the only thing stopping a chicken from writing an award-winning novel or from becoming a Fireman is a fundamentally comical one.
This is in response, or reaction, to a petition against racism in schools; I signed that petition but I’m sure there is at least as much, if not more, sexism in schools: e.g. boys calling girls “slags” (if they do make themselves sexually available) or “tight” if they don’t etc. There is also what is known as the “hidden curriculum” in which girls internalise ideas about what is suitable for them, as girls who will become women, by observing the relative positions of male and female school staff. And, of course, there was the recent report of the Head of an independent girls’ school telling her pupils that, as girls, they couldn’t “have it all”; my view of this is that women could have more if men, as a matter of course, had less and the fact that they don’t seem prepared to is, almost certainly, due to the sexism experienced in schools.
One – Even if you are a morning person you still would rather not get out of bed at such an insanely early hour, and even if you do get up, you’d surely spend the time lazing about in PJs and generally relaxing at home instead of working.
Two: Your best work is generally done towards the end of the day and into the early hours of the next day. Anyone who has ever attended any educational institution knows that the time spent working in to the early hours of the morning fueled by nothing other than caffeine and adrenaline produces our best work and gives an unstoppable work ethic, allowing you to forgo limiting factors such as comfort, hunger, social contact, daylight, the need to blink, and many other distracting features of the human body.
Thus based on these 2 factors i suggest that the standard working hours of 9am – 5pm hereby are relocated to a more comfortable time of 5pm – 1am or for the more hardcore; 7pm to 3am.
I think that every last Friday in the month should be a public holiday because it will be good for every one who works, and all school children. It will give everyone something to look forward to!
And, of course, it’ll have no serious repercussions on the economy whatsoever!
The Prime Minister should attend every funeral and honour those men and women who have given their life for the decisions made by him and show respect for their bravery
This is a logistical nightmare at best, and an impractical impossibility at… well, at all. If nothing else, who’d be left to run the wotsit? Thingy, you know… the country?
All banks should be shut down, and the current monetary system replaced with debt free money backed up by gold and/or other metals and minerals. People would no longer be slaves to the banks through the debt created by money.
You can’t have money without debt, you clown. There’s always going to be someone who owes someone else something.
It’s Wednesday, and that means it’s time to pick at the Reject Bin and see what the British Government had too much common sense to allow the public to sign.
This elite ninja force (which should be named NINJA: National Interest Ninja Japanese-y Awesomeness) would take on most of the killing people-type jobs the armed forces have to do so they could concentrate on shouting at people.
I believe this would greatly reduce the government’s spending on defence, thus freeing up more money for education and health.

Vandalism is on the increase in schools, and we believe that something should be done about it. Do you think the government is doing enough?
Well short of having police officers standing by every single desk, wall and otherwise blank surface in every college, university, school and nursery across the UK, what exactly is it you would like the Government to do? You can’t just make blanket statements like “Stop this thing that we can probably all agree is pretty much not on but is, let’s not kid ourselves, pretty damned difficult to curtail” and expect that to fix everything.
And he’s a teacher, too. My word. What’s wrong with him? I wonder if he went into College the next day and told his students, “Right, well, I hope you’ve enjoyed writing on my desks and tippexing rude words onto my classroom walls, because last night I sent a message to Prime Minister of Parliament Gordon Brown and I expect he’ll be doing something about it any day now. So watch it
This petition is aimed at banning parking penalties and car clamping from the United Kingdom. Suggested alternatives are points on the driving licenses or use more the technology and human resources available to educate drivers with their parking habits. Parking fines and car clamping (and its related enormous charges) cause too much grievance to the population at a time when we need to pull together to make this country Great again.
There is so much wrong with this plan. For a start, “points on the driving licenses”? Generally when a car is parked there’s no one in it – who, then, should the points be given to? You can’t prove who was driving the car at the time it was parked, and you can’t put points on the licenses of everyone insured on that car because then… well, people’d moan.
Secondly, “use more the technology”? Really?
Finally, the solution to your predicament is this: Don’t park where you’re not supposed to, you fucking plum.
why don’t we make all cigarette packets have to be pink, imagine every bloke who smokes having to open a pink box every time he wants a smoke… talk about embarrassing, and this will slowly change the image of smoking to be very uncool, blokes who hundle in groups smoking cancer sticks from bright pink little boxes!
I used to smoke for 8 years but gave up over 9 years ago now, I never wanted to smoke in the first place but a friend got me hooked when I was 16.
If all packets are bright pink then I would definately never want to start smoking and if I already smoked I’d definately want to quick real fast so should work a treat.
Statistics say that women are better drivers as they are more careful and more considerate drivers than men. In the not so distant past men and women have fought for equality between the sexes and races, and now car insurance companies are hiding behind their statistics that are seen to be sexist in the eyes of equality protesters. All everybody wants is to be equal between each other and no company or corporation should be able to hide behind any statistics that judge you on your gender or what colour your skin is, and so this is why I believe that insurance companies should create equal costs for car insurance for men and women.
I’m a 23 year-old male. You know how expensive car insurance is for me? It’s not cheap, I’ll tell you that much. That’s the nature of car insurance – the young pay more than the old, the men pay more than the women. If you’re in a demographic which is statistically more likely to get in an accident then, well, you’re going to pay more for your insurance. Stop your whining, and stop trying to force sexism in a place where it doesn’t belong.
NHS staff should be given incentives to highlight waste however large or small and action taken to eliminate that waste. Incentives could be in the form of points that would be redeemable against gifts in a catalogue.
That’s it! A gift catalogue! Because, y’know, it’s not like it’s their fucking job to ensure that hospitals are a healthy, sterile environment!
Also, can we stop calling an active attempt to reduce or stop a negative activity a War on Things? It’s getting kind of stale.
We are asking Gordon Brown and the British Government to abstain from eating meat at least one day a week to make a positive impact on the health of not only themselves but also the planet. The world’s leading authority on global warming Dr Rajendra Pachauri says that people should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice to help tackle climate change before going on to reduce their meat consumption even further. UN data shows that meat production and consumption are to blame for 18% of greenhouse gases – more than cars. Imagine how much CO2 could be saved if the British public – led by the government – committed to reducing the amount of meat they eat. We want the British government to become pioneers in the fight against obesity and global warming by eating more vegetables to help to save the planet.
Well he can ask, but I’m jolly sure I know what the answer will be.
Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, but workers are increasingly finding that employers are changing contracts which includes Sunday working.
Hey, guys! Guys! Listen to this: “Antony Turd”! Hahahahahahaha! I know, good isn’t it? I just thought of it. It’s funny because he’s a narrow-minded little turd who refuses to lives in the 21st century!
There is a spare plinth in Trafalgar Square and it would be a fitting tribute to those who gave so much in World War one if it was used to house a statue of Harry Patch the final British Citizen who fought in this conflict.
I don’t understand why Harry Patch should get any sort of special memorial simply because he had the good fortune of being able to not die longer than the other World War I veterans.
stop taking income tax on overtime worked. we work overtime to earn extra money to live and pay our bills and for the extra things we need and the government has the cheek to tax that as well, so we are still no better off why don’t you have done with it and just take the lot!
Income Tax, in case you are unfamiliar with the concept, is Tax on your Income. When you work overtime, you earn more income, and therefore you are taxed upon it. This is not a difficult concept.
Soldiers in the Armed Forces, (Airforce, Navy & Army) should have the same working conditions as Police & Firemen = NO Deaths or Injuries in their careers. Due to keeping all appropriate safety measures in place at all times. Such as, eg. In the current wars, collecting up all enemies supply of ammunition and armaments and preventing them from obtaining more from their suppliers. Also by confiscating all ingredients for making home made bombs eg. Fertilizers etc. and dangerous knives and machetes. Then the soldiers would only be worried about the enemy using up their current supply, until they ran out of ammunition. The soldiers would have to keep the area clear. And keep their distance until that time.
Logical conclusion: All of our soldiers are eventually killed because they’re not allowed to hold their weaponry for fear that they might get their hands burnt or something.
The British Government, bless their little cotton socks, have a website where any member of the public alert enough to operate a computer can start an online petition to the Prime Minister. This blog charts the dumbest of them, as they are submitted.
