Moving income support to fortnightly is like anyone to choose to pay their direct debits a further month in arrears to allow them to pocket the difference. It is not fair to put the bill on those who were not even in the bankers’ casinos to subsidise the cost of recession. Few on IS even put someone else’s money into accommodation to distort the housing market. It is always better to smooth flows of funds. In this we move to abolish bank holidays and weekends for 24×7x365.25 computer uptime to the 9th 9. A regressive move to fortnightly benefit payments is potentially another 10p tax issue?

Banks that received money in the recent bailout are using pre-recorded messages to contact customers late in making credit card payments. It is unacceptable that any organisation cannot pay its customers the common courtesy of ringing them in person, but rather using methods that will be considered intimitatory by the elderly, those with mental health conditiond, and other vulnerable adults.

Don’t let the fox gaurd the chickens. giving more power to the banking elite will only end in a “bank of the world”, which we will have to pay carbon taxes on every part of our lifes.

What is interest but an unnecessary evil? The only people who profit from it are the rich.

If there was only £1 in the world and I borrowed it at 8% interest then WHERE do I get the additional 8 pence from? Interest charges are self defeating and cause suffering and poverty whilst benefitting the deceitful and barbaric individuals who ‘invent’ the money.

We as a (once) mighty nation need to stand up to the select few around the world and let them know what we think of their ‘money for/from nothing WITH interest’ ideas. There is NO requirement for interest to exist except to enrich people for doing little/no work and to continue the unnecessary enslavement of millions/billions of people.

I propose that interest be abolished. It would end ‘boom and bust’, rid us of the virus that is ‘inflation’ (devaluation of our currency) and provide each and ever individual the opportunity for TRUE stability in our short lives. Opportunities where we could thrive and accomplish without dragging a ball

Smoking has become too much of a plague, it forces babies to die before they are born and causes lung cancer for innocent passers-by. It is time we did something about this. My dad always told me “If we banned smoking, there would be more crime” but hasn’t already happened with illegal (pardon my spelling) drugs? Stop the manufacture and when the supply runs dry, ban smoking, crime goes up a little, smoking related deaths go down a lot! Cigerettes are worse than cocaine, as they harm people around you as well as you.

Throughout the UK, there are too many dogs owned by too many irresponsible people. By re-introducing an annual dog licence that costs an amount per dog that is enough to put these people off, dog problems (mess, barking, attacks etc) will be reduced.

For example, if the predicted billions being given to banks to prop them up were diverted and given to private homes, and commercial/industrial premises as grants for insulation and micro generation (photovoltaic, solar water heating, ground source heat pump, air source heat pump, wind turbines, hydrogen generators, rain water collection, grey water recycling etc) as appropriate. This would make all properties carbon negative, producing more electricity and hydrogen gas than they need, and contributing to national grids for energy, and fuelling transport. With all these properties generating surplus power there would be no need for new nuclear PowerStation’s, freeing further billions of pounds for coastal protection against sea level rise, protecting millions of acres of housing, industry and agriculture. Defences like the Severn Barrage could also generate power. All this would create new industries making, installing and maintaining these systems, eliminating unemployment.

Make it protocol that all social workers working with children and families undergo a mental health assesement at regular intervals by independent psychiatrists – ones that are not used in cases against families.

Due to the growing pressures and demands of the job and problems faced, mistakes are made and families suffer due to authoritive incompetence. A mental health assesment of all social workers will ensure public confidence and avoid future mistakes by social workers mental health which to date is unquestioned.

The mental health screening and background checks including medical files of social workers should be made compulsory when working families and children.

If a child is medically deemed obese once they have left full time education, their parents should be made to forfeit any and all child benefits/support they have obtained during the entire time they have claimed.

The parents should be made to attend a special course designed to promote “healthy eating” if the parents have any other children. This course should also teach the parents how their current behaviour is nothing short of child abuse.

Children are the responsibility of their parents who should be entrusted with their well-being.

What is the real problem with todays economy? What is the best estimate of the total amount of bad credit/debt, which the UK is at risk from? What was the root cause of this failure? Who is responsible for this failure? Who, if any, is undergoing criminal investigation for the failure? What legislation or regulation is being put in place to avoid a future reoccurrance of this failure? What legislation is being put into place to protect the people of the UK from hyperinflation and homelessness? The people of the United Kingdom require a full and open investigation into all these and other issues relating to the failures. This enquiry is essential to maintain public confidence in the multi Billion pound “bailouts”.

We get money out of cash machines just like we do at the bank!

So why is it they charge us for taking money from machines? This is just another way we get our money and is a waist of money and I do not think they should be doing this because it is taking our money!

Cigarettes contain an unbelievable cocktail of chemicals and metals ie: Polonium_210 (highly radioactive element) Acrolein (formerly used as a chemical weapon) Hydrazine (very toxic chemical used mainly in rocket fuel) plus Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, Nickel etc etc! It is beyond belief that in this day and age of health and safety gone mad and the government’s so called initiatives to help people become healthier they still permit cigarette companies to add poisons to tobacco, which in other circumstances such as food, fertilizer etc would have been banned already. I believe there would be fewer smoking related deaths and illnesses without these highly toxic and dangerous chemicals. It is not enough to say people should give up as there are a lot of people that find it extremely difficult to give up and those that simply don’t want to. I don’t believe there is any possible excuse not to ban them immediately.

Due to the mishandling of Billions of Pounds over the last number of years from the tax payer, I ask the PM to put a vote to The House of Commons to rename "Bank Holidays" to "Public Holidays". This is for the simple reason that we, the public should receive recognition for what we do right in the UK.

Some in this country claim that they are opposed to our way of life and would rather live in an Islamic state under sharia law. Not all are terrorists. Some produce and distribute jihadist literature, preach radical sermons or protest against the British Armed Forces.

They claim to be opposed to our way of life so I propose we offer them the choice of living without the many benefits of this way of life. Anyone committing the above or similar acts should be asked in a public, televised interview if they would like to do without access to the advantages of living here.

If they say "yes" we will deny them access to Government services – benefits, university, public sector employment, the NHS (save for emergency treatment) etc. They will be subject to the law of the land for as long as they stay here but they will forfeit all advantages of living here.

If they say "no" we will leave them as they are except that they will have to do some community service and promise to buck up their ideas. If they choose not to honour those conditions they will be denied access to Government services.

They can choose what to do but the choice should have consequences.

* The whole wide spectrum of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is not being treated fairly by this particular UK Labour Government : Far much more (high level) support is urgently required.

Hi, I am from Turkey, may be lots of people doesn’t know where is Turkey!!!
But I am living in London, and I have a citizien United States.
In Turkey, lot of people must to travel like Europen or the other countries, but all of the Europen countries want to visa (in Turkish "vize"), all the people take these visas (vize) from Alovize.com.
These is the best visa application website in Turkey and they give visas.

Noel Edmonds has in the past and continues to support and assist those people who need an ally in their times of need albeit a single person or an entire community. At this present time he is doing this without any finacial reward to himself but with great emotional and finacal support to others, a selfless deed which is rare and exceptionally commenable in this day and age. Noel is showing that one man and his team CAN make a difference, lets all learn from him and make Britain Great once again.

Criminally underated Leeds band, THE MUSIC need to release their best track from their last album.
They should be forced to do so.

Over recent months cedit card companies have vastly increased interest rates on a risk assesment basis. Where this interest rate nears 30% APR the minimum repayment barely covers the monthly interest.

Credit ratings for individuals maybe fair or poor,loans are required at low interest rates if the population has any hope to combat this recession. Loans are not available to clear significant borrowings. Therefore despite large monthly repayments the outstanding debt is not reduced. Therefore no disposable income is created to stimulate the economy.

The bank could directly clear the credit account and close it.Cards destroyed. Credit ratings to be marked to indicate caution on any new card issued until 50%of the loan is cleared. This could work in a similar way to a voluntary arrangement with creditors without the stigma of bankruptcy or risking ones home.

all calls to nhs should not be charged. It should be put into legislation that no phone company can charge a service user or the nhs for calls made to any of its services. this petition is a drive to make the first nhs conasitition statment that says that alll services should be free to nhs patients, this shouldi nclude dental charges and prescitions charges and calls and even free post letters.

Most if not all young people and adults with High Functioning Autism / Aspergers and others who fail to meet the criteria of the service agencies find their quality of life is adversly affected by not receiving the specialist support they need. It is very much a post code lottery. The huge bonuses being awarded to Bankers would pay for a large amount of support nationwide for these margialised people.

We are all familiar with being overtaken by other road users in dangerous or inappropriate places; such manoeuvres are fraught with danger for all road users and pedestrians nearby. Countless accidents are caused each year by vehicles overtaking others and either losing control, crashing head on with other vehicles, or in hitting the car that they are overtaking – if for instance the car ahead was turning right into a side road. This could be reduced by tightening up the law and allowing overtaking on dual carriageways and motorways only – as a right. This would save many lives each year; prevent countless injuries and would also make insurance claims more straightforward – If someone crashes when overtaking moving traffic – they are at fault. Sign up – it makes sense!

About 34% of the world’s people live in left-traffic countries and 66% in right-traffic countries. About 28% of the world’s total road distance carries traffic on the left, and 72% on the right.

It’s time to join the majority!

this is a petition which is hoping to help end poverty and try to get the world to be an equal and fair place. sign this petition please because every name counts. i have wrote a letter to the PM about this.

Ban the presentation of Darwinian Evolution as ‘Scientific Truth’, within state owned organisations, i.e. schools, museums etc and allow it only to be presented only as an alternative theory or worldview by materialists who have a pre-bias to a disbelief in a superenatural creator

Since decimalisation in 1971 inflation has eaten away at the value of money and made the one penny and two pence virtually valueless. One penny in 1971 was worth about 11 pence in 2005 prices. Producing pennies that have such little value and that pile up in people draws is a huge waste of time and money for the mint to produce.

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

Please encourage the powers that be to provide an Ice Rink for the people of Exeter – our museum is closed and there is not much for us kids to do! from Mark – aged 14

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.

1[ Ensure that all Executives of Banks 'bailed out' with Tax payer's money do not take total remuneration of more than £250,000 per annum as introduced in the USA. 2]Ensure that such Banks are encouraged to make loans more readily available to stimulate the economy.

The only BECTA recommended operating system for schools is Microsoft Windows, but there are several reasons why this is not the best choice for use in an educational environment. Firstly, the vast majority of malware in existence is for Windows. Secondly, the cost of a Windows computer may prevent some learners from having one at home which is compatible with the ones used at school. Thirdly, Windows restricts the user’s choice of such settings as languages and character support based on edition bought. Finally, Windows is not designed for education.

For these reasons, we believe that the primary OS used in schools should be a free and open source alternative. Many operating systems that are more secure than Windows are available, although there is currently only one specifically designed for education. Many of these systems are Linux-based, and so there are alternatives to most Windows software available, and where they are not, it is possible to run windows applications.

To urge the government to stop the genetic modification of food. This includes seeds, fruit, vegetables. Animals, fish and animal food products. The aim is to stop genetic modification of all food,for ourselves and our future generations.

It is time to share the pain.

Getting a decent amount of snow fall across the whole of the UK is such a rare event that, when it happens, adults and children everywhere should make the most of it. If everyone spent the day sledging, building snowmen, building igloos and having snow ball fights then no one would have to worry about the cancelled trains, the non-existent bus services and the desperate driving conditions.

That is why a national holiday after 4 inches of snow fall is a good idea. It wouldn’t just reduce accidents and stress but it would probably make us all happier as well!

My main reason of starting this petition was to stop cruelty tocats as it is disgusting the amount of people that get awaywith it however I then found out that the new animal welfareact 2007 states: Anyone who is cruel to an animal may be bannedfrom owning animals, fined up to £20,000 and/or sent to prison.Which in my option is about time, however I found this stilldoes not cover if you run over a cat. At the moment the lawstates that if you run over a dog you have to report it but ifyou run over a cat nobody cares. I feel in my option and imsure many people will agree with me that this is wrong. Dogsand cats are both beloved pets that should be treated the same.We should have to report these crimes. I do understand a lot ofthe time a cat may jump in front of your car and it is agenuine mistake but it still needs reporting as I stated beforecats are beloved family pets and there heartbroken families will be searching for them. I understand that there is a similar petition however I believe mine to be more reasonable and realistic.

Given the exposure of the plans to increase the rate of VAT after the next election, and the subsequent statement from Mr. Brown that VAT will not be raised beyond 17.5%, my concern is this: If the government has been forced to rule out this method for repaying some of the increased debt, how will they do it now? Before it is too late, I believe that the electorate should have the opportunity to assess the economic proposals from all parties, and democratically choose the most appropriate in the form of an election. I would ask for your support in this matter by signing up to this petition

It is time to bring to an end to funeral expenses for everyone. It cost nothing to enter this world, then why should we fill the pockets of rich funeral companies? The Nation should show it’s appreciation to all those who helped build and protect this country all their life’s by making funeral expenses a thing of the past. This affects everyone, especially the poor.

We have received calls from an overseas call centre claiming to be from a company called Money Management. We get about 3 calls a day trying to sell Individual Voluntary Agreements which they claim is part of a government scheme. They will not take no for an answer, they just keep calling. Because they are calling from abroad the TPS cannot help. They are harassing us and we can’t stop them!!

Local health centres and NHS medical practices should be banned from using 08 numbers or offer a local 01 or 02 number alternative for booking appointments, as health centres make a profit using these numbers. For example, an 0870 number costs 10 pence per minute (whereby 4.5pence per minute goes to the local hospital).

The banks caused this recession by irresponsible flawed business models and greed. Therefore they should pay the associated costs rather than future generations and todays society.

Immigrants should have to take an oral and written english language test within 3 months of being in the UK to resume working in the uk.

The so called BBC scandal regarding Jonathan Ross pointed out the fact he is paid £18,000,000 a year by the BBC. I have never seen anyone on TV worth anything like that sort of money. The fact that the BBC would throw away that sort of money on one person disgusts me. If the BBC are willing to waste licence payers money like that then it is definitely time the licence was reduced year on year leaving the BBC to earn it’s living the way all other broadcaster do.

Need I say more, it’s obvious that if VAT is cut this will affect everybody, cutting the interest rate only affects people with a mortgage. For everyday people trying to afford groceries etc, this is a must. Money needs to be saved for everyone 17.5% is a joke!! Look at the other countries!!!

In recent weeks it has emerged that media coverage of a story resulted in many people making complaints about a radio show that the vast majority hadn’t even tuned in to. As a result the programme in question was axed. As the story unfolded it would seem that with the media manipulation it was taken out of all perspective. Now, those listeners who tuned in every week were denied their choice of how TV licence money was spent. A support group was set up on a social networking site to match the number of complaints, which it did and more. But,the authorities have chosen not to recognise this public opinion and have dismissed the group as misguided youths. I would like to see more respect for the online community and the numbers of people who set up support groups, these numbers should be taken into consideration for reporting procedures.

The people are fed up with the attitude of the banks, we have helped them through a tough time and have had NO! reward in return, on our loans or mortgages. We want the desission reversed give us our money back or give the people the interest the banks are earning on what they have been given from us.

Many of these brave young men gave their lives during WW11 and deserve to be honoured for it.

that all sporting events, football, rugby, cricket etc held at international level is made free to all.That means forcing Sky or Setanta to use an unscrambled signal on a channel everyone can have free access to.

With declining standards in TV/radio, channels are now airing explicitly sexual shows of a pornographic nature. Virgin 1’s ‘Sexcetera’/ Channel 4’s ‘Sex Education Show’ are examples, whilst so-called comedy like ‘Little Britain’ & similar are filled with crude, smutty innuendo. Media glorifies violence/immorality as ‘cool’ & to be aspired to, influencing young minds & doing nothing to discourage today’s gang culture. We don’t want these shows even AFTER the watershed. We’re told if we don’t like it, then switch off! This allows standards to further degrade. We demand a return to decency/morality by broadcasters. The supposed defence that censorship is ALWAYS wrong, doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. Society censors behaviour all the time. If not, why have laws, as all behaviour, even murder, would be OK! The constant drip of immoral/indecent viewing/listening material, can & does lower society’s standards too. This is not a simplistic conclusion. It’s common sense!

The BBC dont show averts due to us paying a licence fee. ITV show adverts to create revenew. ITV dont get any licence Fee money. BskyB however make you subscribe for channels then hound you with commercials making millions both way its unfair and unjust. BskyB should do one or the other not both.

The only way we can protect our children from abuse and incense, is to for social service to monitor every child from birth until the age of sixteen. The social worker could be responsible for a maximum of six children and provide detailed reports on each child. In the long term this would save social services and the tax payer time and money.

The campaign to move Christmas, is our way of beating the so called Credit Crunch. Moving Christmas to the 29th February should give people longer to recover from the massive financial burden inflicted on them by this annual event.

We call for the Tescos planning application in Dartford to be properly scrutinised. It is a huge proposal which is not sustainable development, and will have serious implications for the local economy, and traffic congestion.

We all know bankers have been paid huge bonuses over the last few years. Now the whole banking system has collapsed and the UK is going into a recession, people are loosing their jobs, house prices are falling fast and no-one can get a mortgage. Rather than the banking industry paying for its own mistakes the taxpayer is bailing them out to the tune of £2000 per tax payer, most people who mess up to that extent at work would loose their jobs and not be paid a huge bonus and golden handshake. Now is the time for the bankers who were paid huge bonuses to shoulder their share of the problems they have created and pay a retrospective windfall tax.

this is to lift the unfair ban on cold calling sales in the personal injury market. This ban was introduced without consulting anyone who used cold calling and only affects P.I. companies the rest of the world is allowed to carry on and this is unfair and a restriction of trade. There is also the fact that more than 80% of claims go unclaimed as the average person in the street is unaware that they are entitled to be compensated, by banning cold calling which was informative to the general public these people are no longer being informed of what they are entitled to. also we believe that this ban is a basic infringment of civil freedoms and is discriminatory as it only applies to one type of industry.

It is very unfair to have to pay just to apply for university. This petition lobbies for scrapping two sets of fees; the application fee by UCAS, and the testing fees for entrance exams many courses need. In the credit crunch, it is not fair to levy such charges.

The UCAS application fee has increased this year from 15-17 pounds, an inflation busting increase of over 10%! This should be free.

As well as applying, one needs to pay for certain entrance exams before going to certain courses, like medicine and dentistry, law and vet. studies.

These all cost alot of money, from 75 pounds for UKCAT to 230 pounds for the GAMSAT test, to get into medicine. BMAT, LSAT and others have their own fees. For some, you can get a bursary, but this is still only partial.

All fees associated with university applications need to be scrapped, as it makes it a heavier burden on those wishing to achieve their potential.
