cancel human rights law, and get out of this e.u monstrous mistake!!!!!!!Why the contribution is important
To give this country the freedom, and rewards, that the true British deserve. The “so called human rights, seem only to work for illegal immigrants, who are known terrorists, thieves, and gang members. You have only to watch documentaries, or read the national press to see what I mean. All the time, you can see “illegals” given housing, some of them, mansions, that cost thousands of pounds ,in the name of human rights. Benefits should only be paid to people who have paid into this country, i.e. tax, and national insurance . We are a laughing stock. The last government, (and I use the word government, loosly) cut funding to universities, so that HOME students only have very few places, the rest of the places, of which there is many, go to foreign students. Only if you are financially independent, can you get a place in university. Some-one I know of, gained the marks at college, which he was told, that last year, with those very same marks, he would have been able to gain access to university, but now, like the funding,every thing has been changed! The worst thing was, he was told ” It’s a pity you cant go to Africa, for three yearsbecause then, you could have come back to this(his own country of birth) as an overseas university student.
You can’t argue with that. You really can’t. Not because it’s accurate in any way, but because doing so is like volunteering to have your frontal lobe slowly sawn off with a piece of rusty barbed wire.

Sometimes, laws are confusing. People get confused! The best way to alleviate the confusion? Why, get rid of the confusing laws, of course! Like this one:
Hi Goverment,
I love this guy already.
Hi Government,I would like a change or a full repeal of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act of 2005. Part of this act involved designating sites by order of Secretary of State, such as nuclear power stations, which, if trespassed, incurred servere penalties.
In a one-man protest against the way the government was handling the economy prior to the G8 meetings of May 2009, I climbed over the railings into the front lawn of the Houses of Parliament following a peaceful march through the city. I sat peacefully on the lawn and when approached, stated “This is the people’s parliament, and I am one of the people”.
I was arrested and eventually cautioned for “Trespass on sites designated by order of Secretary of State. Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 S.128.”
My point is this: how can sitting on the lawn of my own government’s meeting place be as bad as breaking into a nuclear power station? Clearly, making a stand for democracy should not be penalised in such a way. Please amend or repeal the law. Thank you.
Why the contribution is important
I believe my idea is important as it will remove an unnecessary restriction on the valid right to protest by the people of Britain.
Right. So… you don’t see a problem with trespassing on property occupied by people who run the country? Okay. Just checking.

Nearly 200,000 motorists have been fined a total of £8m in the past year after being caught on CCTV cameras, according to a new report.The report, from campaign group Big Brother Watch, says that more than 50 CCTV Smart cars are patrolling 31 council areas and raised the equivalent of £322,789 last year for each town hall that uses them.
The cars are used to film motorists who use bus lanes or who are judged to be driving without due care and attention.
The 25 councils that released data said they raised a total of £8,069,715 from 188,000 motorists between April 2009 and March 2010.
Dylan Sharpe, Campaign Director of Big Brother Watch, said, “The CCTVa very dangerous escalation in Britain’s surveillance society.
£8 million is an eye-watering amount to take in fines in just 25 councils.
It is surely only a matter of time before more councils start using these cars. The Coalition Government must act now and prevent that from happening.”
Why the contribution is important
200,000 motorists have been fined by caught on CCTV
This guy sees the total amount of fines and instead of thinking, “Wow, the British public are really bad drivers,” he thinks “These CCTV cars are an outrage, I’ve decided!”

Abolish the “Get Set” stage of our traffic lights, leaving Red (On your marks) and Green (Go!) operative only. Amber will only light to signal the lights are changing to red.Why the contribution is important
This increases road safety, and stops those idiots from gambling by starting to pull away at Red & Amber whilst other idiots are speeding through at solid amber from another direction.
I can’t wait to see all of the accidents that pop up as a result of people reaching the junction just as the light turns red and slamming the breaks on.
The 70 mph speed limit on motorways and dual carriageways has been in force since December 1965.Over the time since it was introduced, there have been substantial improvements in vehicle and road safety measure
According to the Association of British Drivers, in 1965, 70 mph represented more than 80% of the maximum speed of average cars, wheras now it represents only 60%. They estimate that at present, 56% of car drivers exceed the motorway speed limit.
Why the contribution is important
Drivers know their own limits and the limits of their vehicles. They should be concentrating on the quality of their driving, rather than an arbitrary 45 year old speed limit.We should abolish the speed limit and concentrate on preventing dangerous driving.
Seriously? Are you serious? How can you be for “preventing dangerous driving” but against the speed limit? Are you daft or something?
WE WANT TO USE THE FULL POWER POTENTIAL OF THE VEHICLE WE BUY!!AUTOBAHN IN ENGLAND!
INTRODUCE TOP SPEED LANE ON MOTORWAY!!!!!!!!
Why the contribution is important
SAFER AND FASTERSAFER= NOT SHITTING YOURSELF CAUSE THERES A SPEED CAMERA UP AHEAD CAUSING YOU TO BREAK SHARPLY AND UNNECESSARY!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!

by David skinner (rejected)Though in no way wishing to take away the liberty of homosexuals to access homosexual friendly guest houses, of which there are many, we believe that to force Mr and Mrs Wilkinson to conform to the tastes and lifestyle of homosexuals is discriminatory and is a blatant contradiction of the Equality Bill. Our British inheritance to be able to live and speak, according to our conscience, privately and in the public sphere, without harassment or the fear of civil or criminal penalty, is a freedom that once distinguished us from all other nations. This liberty did not come cheaply but cost the lives of our forebears and ancestors. Sadly today it is treated with such contempt by a government that continues to bind us in an ever growing cancerous growth of legislation.As people from all walks of life, political parties, religious faiths and none , but still broadly speaking, citizens of a Christian country, we the undersigned have joined together to stand foursquare with Mr and Mrs Wilkinson in defence of their beliefs and civil liberties.
There’s a sort-of wonderful, ignorant irony in David bringing up the Equality Bill when Mr and Mrs Wilkinson are sort-of contravening the Equality Bill themselves by forbidding homosexuals from using their establishment.
He obviously feels very strongly about this, considering he submitted this and two other near-identical petitions about this very subject. He seems to think that the ideals of people who believe in a magical space wizard are more important than the ideals of people who happen to be in love, irrespective of what their genders may be. In fact, looking at a previous petition of his we featured some time ago, he seems to think that religious ideals (specifically his ideals, which happen to be Christian) trump all other ideals, beliefs and lifestyles. For that reason, he is a cunt.
That’s not a word I use often. It’s not a word I even like using. I have a particular disdain for that word, but then I also have a disdain for people who think that their imaginary friend is more important than… well, than anything else. That makes him a cunt. He is a cunt. David Skinner, who is a cunt, is a cunt.
I honestly can’t understand how someone can think that their God, whom they believe in despite the lack of any evidence, is more important than the love between two people of the same gender, which they refuse to believe in despite the overwhelming evidence presented.

by keith jones of taxpaying pensioner with neither political nor religious affiliationThe information contained in these books, which is invariably based on their activities while public employees, was gained while they were being paid by the taxpayer for their services. It is only right, therefore that any profits arising out of books written containing that information should be passed to the public purse. It is their information, it does NOT belong to the individual ex-employee.
So does that mean if I write a book about what it’s like working in a call centre I’d have to give a portion of my money to Virgin Media? That’s a bit shit, Keith.

by gemmasepearate scanning areas in the hospital for women who have misscarried, its seems like a sick joke when you have lost your baby to be sent to sit in the maternity block for your scan to confirm the worst! to have to sit in a room full of pregnant women talking about how many weeks/months pregnant they are and weather its a boy/girl even tho you are happy for them it still kills you listening to it and thinking about your baby your never going to meet its terrible! surely women in my situation have felt the same and being in a different part of the hospital would help slightly!

I’ll never get tired of using lyrics from Adam & Joe’s “Football Song” as the title for petitions to do with football. Anyway, here’s a self-entitled whinging bastard’s bastard’s bastard.
by Richard GarlandI think it’s a disgrace that to watch the likes of the English Premier League football matches, that we have to pay a ridiculous fee to a large corporation. I’m not saying that every match should be free, but on average there’s mostly at least ten matches a week in the Premiership, why can’t even one of those matches be given to a free channel? It’s ridiculous that certain companies appear to have a monopoly on this, why can’t the government intervene, and tell these companies to either stop being so tight or face sanctions? It’s simply nothing short of price fixing because they know fine well there’s no competition. Football should be for everyone.

by John CatleyThe Prime Minister has chosen to give his full backing and support to the case for Anthropogenic Global Warming. That is his right as an individual and that right is part of the constitution of this country. The Prime Minister does not have the right to insult millions of British people by describing them as “deniers”, a particularly hateful and emotive insult, because they do not share his view. Recently Chief Scientific Adviser, Sir John Beddington, said “I don’t think it’s healthy to dismiss proper scepticism. Science grows and improves in the light of criticism. There is a fundamental uncertainty about climate change prediction that can’t be changed.” In spite of this, and significant evidence to show that there is indeed much in doubt, the Prime Minister continues issue his insults.
There’s a difference between “I’m not sure if climate change is happening” and “It’s definitely not happening.” One is stating a feeling of uncertainty, and the other is outright denial – and when I say “denial” I don’t mean the psychological “I’m not listening la la la la” denial, I mean the literal denial. Most people labelled as “clime change deniers” aren’t raising questions about whether it’s going on or not – they’re outright saying it’s not happening. The label is apt.

by Philippa CunliffeCurrently employed mothers have 39 weeks paid Statutory Maternity Pay, self-employed mothers have the same – 39 weeks paid Maternity allowance. Employed fathers have 2 weeks paid paternity leave but self-employed fathers have no Paternity Allowance. This is very unfair as it means a lot of self-employed fathers cannot afford to spend time bonding with their new baby. Self-employed people pay tax just like employees, as well as often creating jobs, so why are they treated so unfairly?
People who aren’t self-employed are paid by their employers during time off, not by the government. I don’t see how that’s unfair, personally. If it were me I’d spend the nine months of the pregnancy putting money aside so I could afford to take a couple of weeks off, but that’s just me.

by Simon HaighIceland must repay the £2.3bn owed to British taxpayers which was loaned to the country by HMG following the failure of its banking system. Until the loan is repaid, the UK and Dutch governments must veto Iceland’s application to join the EU.
If every country with debts owed to another wasn’t allowed to get involved then the EU wouldn’t get anything done.
