Currently there are more people wating for transplants than there are organs. To redress the balance, to receive an organ, you must be on the donation register. If you’re not prepared to donate, you cannot receive. Once you are on the register you may withdraw but family members may not do so on your behalf. This could be achieved through the electoral register.

if our passangers know that the driver (or any other passanger) is a smoker, then they make the coice to be in the vehicle. A vehicle is our possession and we are free to do what we like within our own belongings. if they dont like it, dont get in the car.

Dont take away one of the only things we have left to do at our will.

For too long people in Britain have been able to get a relatively large amount of money for doing pretty much nothing – under the label “jobseekers”. However, how can we be sure they are actually Job seeking? Therefore, send them to a profession that is always lacking in numbers – the Army. The cliched excuse “can’t find a job” would not be valid.

I want to fix the date of election so that it is on the same date every four years. I do not feel that it is in the interest of democracy for the controlling party to choose when it stands, it gives unfair advantage and I believe promotes short-term policy and views within government.

This would exclude anyone that has a genuine reason for not having worked. But why should someone who has been welfare dependant be as well off as someone who has worked their entire life and made NI and TAX contributions? We demand something extra for those that have paid into the kitty. Anyone who has not contributed should be on the bare minimum. free TV licenses should be reserved for those that have contributed.

Following the recent unfortunate arrest and release of the Pakistani students suspected of plotting attacks in the UK I feel an oath of allegiance, or at least, non-aggression, towards the UK would be appropriate, to be sworn on the Koran. These are bright people and the UK needs them – they have anyway an underlying love for the UK. When I was naturalised in 1976 I had to swear the oath on the Bible, which did not feel binding, particularly as I discovered later it was so heavily corrupted by Paul, and I was not even militant, or a product of Islamic education. I can guarantee this would be taken seriously, if done properly, even by the most cynical of jihadis.

Change the anthem of Britain, not just the lyrics, the whole song. Change it to something more involved with our country like the mentioning of the party in power. Such as, “Our United Kingdom has grown into a beautiful (party name) rose.” To make it bring a tear to your eye. A tune something like the International and our current anthem put together.

We need to encourage UK manufacturers and the best way to do this is to give them a competitive advantage through making all UK produced goods exempt from VAT while increasing the VAT on all imported goods. This would have the benefits of encouraging UK manufacturing and reducing the price to the high street consumer, while keeping the VAT revenue stream for the government. It should be done as part of a “Buy British” drive.

A substantial amount, estimated at 200,000 tons, of recyclable rubbish is destroyed rather than recycled.

Until this amount rises, which it is unlikely to do in a recession when prices paid for recycled goods are lowering, people should be given a general bin which they can dump a certain amount of their waste, dependent on how much rubbish the council burns rather than recycles.

This could also be tied to times when people are especially busy, such as allowing people to dump all their rubbish unrecycled for a week around the beginning of their work year.

The government would like to decomission analogue FM radio within ten years, in favour of DAB radio. Notwithstanding that geographical coverage of DAB will have increased by this time, FM will still provide a necessary and perfectly adequate function.

Ten years ago the BBC covered 79 days of horseracing; this year it’s 27; by 2010 it will be only 14 unless the BBC can be reminded of its obligations as a public service broadcaster and scraps plans for emasculating its reportage of a sport which appeals to the widest demographic of all. The consequences go well beyond the leisure preferences of the six million TV licence payers that annually visit racecourses. By cherry picking the dual purpose “social” events such as the Derby, Royal Ascot and the Grand National (which attracted viewing figures of 10 million this time) the BBC is reckless as to the future of the supporting tier. Any reduction in terrestrial exposure will hasten the contraction of the industry, jeopardising 20,000 full-time jobs and the racing industry tax contribution of £280 million a year.

Open Letter to the Priminster Gordon Brown.
The national priorities we set amidst
We need a new framework for responsible lending to ensure
countries don’t fall back into the debt trap and the past mistakes are not
repeated.
I believe the best way to get back on our feet as a nation is to
implement a national jubilee and work with other nations towards an
international jubilee, as the Bible teaches. In Leviticus chapter 25 the
Bible outlines a celebration that should happen every 50 years. I really
believe God gave us the secret toward financial health as a nation in this
chapter. It would do your office well to apply this teaching so our nation
can regain its footing in God’s sight and in the sight of all nations. There
is no better example of how to do this than by implementing such a jubilee
nationally and internationally. It will lead others to follow a good example
on forgiveness of debt, mercy and compassion. It may even help us regain
some respect that has been lost due to our meddling in foreign affairs for
selfish cause. Thank you for your leadership.
Your Servant in Christ
Ricci

I hereby propose to change the week as we know it from the standard Mon-Fri working week and Sat-Sun weekend to the following:

Working week – 4 days (now renamed):
– Monday
– Weekend Eve eve eve (previously Tuesday)
– Weekend Eve Eve (previously Wednesday)
– Weekend Eve (previously Thursday)

Weekend – 3 Days (now Renamed):
– Sleep in Day (previously Friday)
– Party Day (previously Saturday)
– Family Day (previously Sunday)

I believe this will have a positive impact on employee morale as well as providing a longer weekend, improving prospects for our flagging leisure industry in this time of economic crisis.

Stockwell-incident easily preventable had screening, image & fingerprint capture been in-place. Conceding passengers queuing to be screened continue to be at risk, the threat to those using public-transport is dramatically-reduced.

Pickpockets & others of-interest are unlikely to clear booth [barred...] where they are known to the authorities.

Simply having the legal limit at a certain age is not good enough. Just because somebody is eighteen years old, it does not mean that they are mature enough to drink responsibly. The correlation of age and maturity is apparent, but anomalies still exist. These anomalies are usually what cause the problem. The amount of crime linked to alcohol is horrific and must be reduced. I propose that we introduce a ‘controlled substance’ license system. This would incur a series of tests taken by anybody over the age of eighteen who wishes to buy or consume controlled substances. Upon passing their test, the candidate will be issued with a digital swipe card, a unique ID number and have their photograph taken. Upon buying controlled substances, the card must be swiped and the details downloaded from a server for verification. All licensed premises will be issued with swipe machines. I know this idea is still in its embryonic stages, but in the right hands it could become so much greater.

Bio-Reduction Therapy for addiction has been well proven over the last 4 years to stop smoking, stop drinking and stop drug dependency. We would like to see the treatment approved by NICE and available on the NHS.

this petition is meant to force the government and bbc to stop charging t.v licence fees for Any Member of HM Armed forces.

My takehome pay is £1000 a month. This is about average and very possibly less than average for the area I live in. There is no way I could afford to find £100 a month plus to pay a congestion charge to get to work, hence I voted No. This is the situation most of Greater Manchester residents found themselves in, hence the massive NO vote that local government are currently puzzling over. It was clear, before the referendum, that people would not vote for an extra chunk coming out of their wages. The planned charge would essentially represent a 12% wage cut for me. Therefore our tax money was spent on promoting an unwinnable scheme – a complete waste. This is totally unacceptable to low and average waged taxpayers like myself and I demand that all of this money is refunded to us and put into providing decent public transport in our area, and that a conestion charge scheme must NOT be forced upon us, now or in the future.

The government are supposed to be our servants. Let us have a vote to be used at any time, as we feel like it. Its OUR vote after all. WE can change it to whosoever we please at any time. MPs would have their votes published every day like stock exchanges results. Unpopular MPs would be voted out. popular ones would replace them.
This would force the Government to attend to us, and do what WE want, rather than ignoring us till election time.
Give power back to the people.

It is clear to me that the government has set up this site to fool the British public into thinking you care what we think. I have randomly read through numerous closed and rejected petitions on this site and I could not find any that the government reply was "we agree". If the petition doesn’t fit with government policy it is fobbed off or rejected. If the government is not interested in the publics point of view then stop fooling us with this waste of space E-Petitions site.

Given that the UK Government are currently considering a rescue plan for Jaguar Landrover they should incorporate this into a wider plan to revitalise the UK’s ailing automotive industry. Since the loss of MG Rover in 2005 there has been no UK owned mass car production, most importantly in the small/medium car sector. The government should buy back Jaguar Landrover and resurrect MG Rover forming these companies into a group large enough to sustain ongoing sales and development of new world leading models. A government led programme like this is just the jobs boost the UK needs. Let’s make Britain great again!

I ask the Prime Minister to consider those of us who either do not have children or whoes children are grown up; who do not have a mortgage or shares or any savings; who work full time paying taxes but whoes income is just above that of being entitled to anything, but who still fork out for essentials like home insurance; who are not of pensionable age and who reap hardly ever any financial benefits from your government and consider how you can help us live a decent life in todays Britain by giving us back something too. (thanks)

The British Pound Note is probably one of the most recognised symbols of financial security – or at least it was. So many Britains have never even seen a pound note. There are no easy fixes to Britains current economic problems, but sometimes a symbol can evoke far more in a population than any speech or action ever will.
The old Green pound note, especially the 1970′s version with Britannia on the back, would serve well as a focus of our countries need to do what is required to come out of the economic downturn stronger than ever before.

What could be nicer than waiting in a queue at the lights with a warm red heart shape looking back at you, instead of the usual boring circle of redness?

The gov’t has proscribed dozens of terrorist groups. It must proscribe al aqsa martyrs brigade for these reasons:

They have committed hundreds of brutal terror attacks, including the use of child suicide bombers (e.g. April 2005), that have killed & maimed hundreds of innocent victims.

The group has a British connection: They claimed joint responsibility for a 2003 terrorist attack carried out by two Britons on a pub in Tel Aviv, Israel. This attack has been cited as the protocol for the 2008 terrorist attack in Mumbai, India.

Their exclusion from the list of terrorist groups is inexplicable given that groups that are far less active, that have killed far few people, & that have no apparent connection to the UK, have been proscribed.

Their exclusion from the list of terrorist groups can only be explained by the political connection to Fatah. The gov’t should do its utmost to prevent terror & not give way to political persuasions.

We request that a Compulsory National Service is introduced where ALL young persons are required by law to serve in the Armed Forces for a minimum of 3 years. We also request the formation of a “Foreign Legion” of would-be immigrants where they would ALL be required to serve for a minimum of 3 years before they have ANY rights of citizenship in the UK. Any immigrant refusing to serve will be deported immediately without the right of appeal.

Petition to change NHS prescription charges

Remove the right for job seekers to receive FREE medical prescriptions on the NHS after 6 months of claiming job seekers allowance.

Remove the right for Job seekers to receive FREE dentistry care on the NHS after 6 months of claiming job seekers allowance.

Bring into Law the right for Tax paying workers to receive up to 4 FREE prescriptions on the NHS in any 12 month period.

I know from experience that Paracetamol destroys the Liver and Kidneys. Even small doses can be harmful. I should know because I have Cirhosis of the Liver myself due to Paracetamol overdose and I am lucky to survive.

Paracetamol does not need a replacement as there is still Aspirin, Ibuprofen e.t.c

Immigration into Britain from the EU and beyond should be halted for the next 5 years and seriously lowered after that so the economy can get back on its feet. While we are going through this current financial crisis and the economy weakening we cannot afford to let in more migrants. Whilst they are coming in daily it is causing even more pressure on our economy and costing the taxpayer.

I feel that the current customer service in the UK used by the majority of large businesses is appalling and feel that tighter legislation should be set in place to force companies to care more about their customers.

mydeathspace is a site where its members scour the internet and newspapers for stories of people who have died. They then check to see if the deceased had a MySpace profile, and dig up everything they can about this person.

This is done without asking permission from the bereaved families. They simply talk about, make fun of and ridicule the dead without having known them at all. They take pictures from the deceased’s profiles and parade them on the website, and are glamourising death and the dead – which is unhealthy. Their focus on death should be stopped or they should at least need to ask permission of the families of those they wish to discuss.

End the granting of anonymity through judicial action in any case where the person has been convicted through a court of law.

A accurate count is made and up dated to how many English are killed in England by being denied drugs and treatment which are available in Scotland for the Scottish.
The object of this is to find out who are the real enemies of the English. The Scottish prime minister and his Scottish chancellor or the extremist.

I believe that Giles Clarke has by his actions brought English Cricket into disrepute, by allowing the England Cricket Team to take part in a game soley for monetary gain rather than seeking to develop and further advance our great game. Giles Clarke should seek to act as a guardian of the game, yet has allowed an individual to blatantly purchase our national team and has showed contempt and disregard for the rules of our great game. For this alone the Government should intervene and protect our national game from potential irreprable damage.

This petition is for people who think the BBC are in need of a long awaited cleanup the latest but not isolated of incidents by all those who thought it was a great idea to broadcast such derogatory material involving 4 humiliating telephone calls to an 89 year old pensioner and for all future incidents in the hope that all can listen and watch in view of the fact the majority are licence payers. The BBC do not have a petion page but you can voice a complaint to the BBC Trust.

Why is it that when any other country is facing difficulties we send our hard earned taxes to bail them out.If we suffer hard times the government should help us first. Typical example £42 million pounds is now being sent to the congo,what about the people over here that are on the bread line,CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.At this present time due to the recession people are losing their jobs and their homes,plus we have to deal with the fact of increased prices of food,gas,electricity and petrol.Further to this immigration is out of control,quite a few are not employed or illegal causing a drain on our countries resources

It was annouced BBC News that MSN/Hotmail was to close down due to a young girl of 8 being tricked into meeting a 34 year old pedoephile. This is not MSN/Hotmails fault. It is the LAW’S fault as the pedoephile is known. This is also at the fault of the little girls parents who have given her permission to create an account on the MSN/Hotmail site, but it is in there terms and condition that applicant must be over a certain age. Labour MP’s must have realised this and this is not the companies fault. it is the laws and the parents of the YOUNG child.

please reconcider.

To ‘earn’ is an adjective. BBC employees are ‘paid’ regardless of the levels of achievement, or criminal activity which results in the BBC Licence Taxpayer being required to pay their fines, therefore to say they ‘earn’ what they are paid is a gross misrepresentation of what is actually going on.

It is immoral that council taxpayers should have to pay twice when people they entrust with looking after their council taxpayer pounds get it wrong. There MUST be some accountability and responsibility among our councillors and the people they pay to give them advice, when it goes wrong.

working parents are paying enough nursery fees as it is so in the holidays why do we have to pay the full amount. i have to pay all my wages to keep my childs nursery place in the school holidays please make the n.e.g. available all year round for working parents,

Many single mums and other scroungers have no intention of looking for work because they get their rents and council tax paid plus benefits on top. Job seekers allowance should only be paid to those who can prove they have attended an interview in the last three months. People who become unemployed should be paid 2/3rds of their last wage and the amount reduced the longer they stay unemployed.
