For example if you get 8 years you do 8 years not 4 eyars on good behavour BUT you can do 4 years on good behaviour if you join the army on special conditions fight for our country.
Haven’t we already shot this idea down? Twice? It’s getting to the point where I think these petitions need their own category.
How can we improve both ourselves and our country when we get an education from university but end up with a huge debt. Its worse for the mature student who has no hope in getting a job but goes back to university to get a degree therefore making thmselves more employable. Teenagers dont stand a chance in life because all they will have is a degree and a load of debt.
This is a reasonable and achievable idea. Ooh, is someone serving pork? I’ll have a wing, please.
I have discovered that approx 4% of my council tax bill goes towards paying for council employees pension funds.
As a pensioner struggling to live on a state pension, I believe this is totally unnacceptable
Right. Because 4% is a really big number, and as we all know council employees are already dead anyway so they’ll never need to claim their pensions. The URL is hilarious – this is a tax scandal? Really? Really?
Not many people have a large deposit or if any deposit to put towards a house, i think you will have many prople not being able to buy there own home which in this day and age is wrong, eveyone should have the right to have there own home keeping 100% morgages helps so many people get on the property ladder and without them many many poeple will suffer!!
Sigh. That was a nice global economy we had, once…
I’m not sure what Gordon Reid is asking for here. I’m sure I could sit down and read it, but because he’s decided to post the entire ruddy petition in the title and leave the “More details” field empty I’m stuck staring as a wall of text that makes my eyes hurt when I try to read it. More alarmingly, this is becoming a regular trend on the ePetition site, too – right up there with petitioning the Prime Minister to Your Name Here.
In the current financial climate we believe that the banks should be forced to stop charging customers for going overdrawn and missing direct debit payments. The fact that public funds are being used to keep the banks going should allow the government to stop such charges. This will help the thousands of people who are now struggling to make ends meet and stop people from being unfairly punished.
I would say that if you’re committing to payments you can’t actually afford to make then it’s not an unfair punishment. Alright, yes, bank charges in the UK are rather ridiculous, but saying “Hey, y’know, we’re not going to charge you bank fees anymore, because of The Economy” is hardly going to help matters.
Who thinks that some fruit such as are too expensive and it should go down?
Why do you think the price of fruit is increasing? Is it because of foreigners? Homosexuals? The global economy collapsing at the end of last year? Terrorists? We may never know.
Shrove Tuesday and Guy Fawkes Night are to one and all the highlights of the Gregorian calendar. On no other night do the British public come together in such jovial harmony. Therefore we believe it is only right that these occasions gain the respect they deserve and are each awarded a day of national holiday to mark the passing of two truly British events.
No.
Central and Local Government forms associated with Equal Opportunity Monitoring require the applicant to indicate their ethnic origin with numerous choices with the exception of ‘White English’, as the basic form is printed in English and approved by the English Parliament in England will Government ensure that ‘White English’ as a category is included on all future forms in the interest of Equal Opportunity Monitoring?
No.
I would like to ask the prime minister to abolish parking fees on meterd parking places everywhere in the UK. This would encourage people to come back to the city centres and begin shopping again. Parking fees for short trips into town centres only serve to discourage shoppers bothering at all. This would have a greater effect on kickstarting consumer spending than the 2.5% reduction in the VAT rate at a much lower cost. Most shoppers hate paying for parking. Allow everyone a maximum of 2hours with the same fines for exceeding the time limit. This would have the effect of increasing the “turnover” of shoppers and thereby increase consumer spending and perhaps add a little to the “kickstart” that the economy so badly needs. Sometimes it’s the little changes that make the big difference and so often go overlooked.
No.
Jade Goody’s battle has caused a 20% increase in cancer screening. Clearly the NHS is not getting through to women, so Jade’s Law would require NHS surgeries to telephone all women in their practice to explain the importantance of being screened.
Oh yeah? Well Kylie Minogue’s Breast Cancer diagnosis several years ago prompted an increase in cancer screenings in the UK and in Australia. If anything, Kylie deserves her own law. Also: advertisements on TV, radio, and in magazines would be far more effective than calling everyone. I’ve worked in call centres. No one likes to be bothered, even if it’s something important.
We the undersigned request the Prime Minister to repeal the Trinitarian Act of 1812. Thank you.
The Trinitarian Act of 1812, for those of you who don’t know, was passed to legalize the practice of Islam in the UK. What James Higgs is effectively asking for, her, is to ban Islamic practice in the UK. James Higgs has basically found a cleverly worded way around the ePetiton site admins’ strict (heh) screening process. He’s also a walrus dick.
Soon a film called Corpus Christi will be shown in America. Christians do not want it shown here as it represents Jesus and his desciples as homosexuals. This is blasphemy. The Bible states clearly that homosexuality is an abomination. Please do not reject this. Muslims have had a play removed from the stage because it upset them. atheists have blasphemy about there not being a God plastered on buses. Remember we are still a “Christitan” country. please listen to its citizens. thank you
Y’see, the beauty of Free Speech is that, in this country, you can show a film about pretty much anything. The downside of Free Speech is that we have to put up with mindless fucktards like Janice Breeze.
petition to cancel all personal mortgage/secured debt in the U.K. every 50 years Reasons: 1st To remove the fear of homelessness. 2nd Stop asset values falling by forcing a bottom in the market.3rd Bring buyers to the market as owners are free to drop prices. 4th Create a spending boom, no mortgage = more cash to spend. 5th Investors can be reassured by promising an on going cycle of debt cancellation every 50 years and banks would be able to lend on that basis creating a stable market. 6th the current crisis offers an ideal opportunity for the government to show leadership which would help both the people (popular) and the financial markets by offering an opportunity to create a true asset value assessment in which to invest.
Every fifty years? Woohoo! Time to re-mortgage in 2059!
by creating a box on all election ballot papers allowing a vote for “non of the above” would allow a true voice of the people to be shown. giving all parties the opportunity to re address the parts of their manifesto that the true majority of the country disagree with rather than as is at the moment where the people of the country HAVE to vote for the best of a bad bunch(so not to “WASTE”their vote) or not vote at all. if the majority vote should end up to be “none of the above” there should be an interim period of an equal hung parliament for an agreed period of time to enable all parties to change their policies to reflect the voice of a true majority.
Or, alternatively, you could just not vote. That way you don’t even have to get up or anything.
Britain’s history and culture is fantastic and unique. Much like the majority of people detest the Euro as a possible currency for Britain, the British pound is a fantastic part of our sovereignty and of our history and culture. We used to have such a fascinating and historic currency that was ditched for a decimal system (which is, in all fairness, much more practical). I suggest that we return Britain to the wonderfully nostalgic and unique system of half-pennies, farthings, sixpence and shillings. It would be more difficult to grasp, but oh so much more fun and interesting. Plus, oh so very cool.
You are an honest-to-goodness moron.
However good a Prime Minister is when they take office, the longer they stay in the post the more likely it is that power goes to their heads!
A fucking terrible idea – on the off-chance someone who’s good at the job comes into power, the most you’ll ever have them is for those two terms. Then some brainless moron will step in instead.
