In 2012, the British Government introduced a minimum income threshold of £18,600 for sponsors of a spouse from outside the EU. This was increased to £22,400 for sponsoring a spouse and a child (and a further £2,400 for every additional child being sponsored). People on low income from all communities are affected by these rules. A direct result of this ruling causes families to be divided; sponsors are forced to work more than one job, or move to another EU country where the rules are not so divisive and fairer. British citizens and those who are settled in the UK are denied the right to family life that the British Government is arguably trying to promote. These rules have been condemned by many MP’s across party lines, many religious leaders and organisations like, Indian Workers Association, Joint Council for Welfare of Immigrants, Immigrants’ Rights Network and Southall Black Sisters. This discriminatory aspect of the Immigration Act has been challenged in the High Court in a test case. The court ruled against the Government which was unfortunately overturned on appeal by the Government. This is now pending a hearing at the Supreme Court. It is widely accepted that though this may be legal in terms of legislation, it is definitely immoral and unethical to set income limit expectations higher than the national minimum wage. The Supreme Court has granted permission to hear the appeal relating to the minimum income requirement for partner visas in immigration cases. The date of the hearing has not been confirmed but it is likely to be before autumn 2015.

The Red Lion Public House dates back to the 17th Century, and is an important historic Grade II Listed building, and an irreplaceable feature of the village of Gedney Hill in rural Lincolnshire. In the past it has been a thriving business at the centre of the community, but in recent years neglect, mismanagement and underinvestment on the part of the owner has led to it's decline and closure. The building has now been sold to an individual who intends to convert the site into a house, and demolish part of the porch structure on the front of the oldest part of the listed building. This is now the only public house remaining in this area, and many local people believe that under the right ownership it could again be a popular venue and a successful and sustainable business. Please help to ensure the future of this vital hub of local village life by signing the petition.

If something is not done a lot of parents will, and have spent a huge chunk of their maternity leave in hospital.

John Inverdale's anchorage of Today at Wimbledon has over the past ten years become a British institution, as fundamental to the British summer as Wimbledon itself, PIMMS, Strawberries and Cream or test cricket. A misjudged and ill advised comment two years ago should not be the undoing of a career which has brought pleasure to millions, and the license fee paying public should not be deprived of his easy wit and charm. Claire Balding may try her best, but is absolutely no substitute - John's absence is starkly clear and felt by contributors and viewers alike. Lets have less of the trial by social media knee-jerk reactions and read something into the will of the silent masses - much of the target audience have no interest in taking to twitter to show support... this though should not be interpreted as a lack of it but just a sign of the times.

The recent change to planning legislation means that permission is no longer required for businesses to change use, even in conservation areas. Rye Lane is be likely to be targeted by large chains looking to take advantage of this change. The problem is that this will put huge pressure on rents, pressure which many local, cherished independents are not likely to survive. The Direction will give time to planning officers to consider proposals in accordance with the development plan. We want Rye Lane to continue serving all its diverse Londoners, and supporting local creative economies, not letting them be priced out of Peckham.

Guideposts Trust runs a day community service, and our service users- all of whom have a Learning Disability- have to cross the road here daily. Thousands of cars speed down this busy road every single day, which makes finding a safe space to cross over extremely difficult and dangerous. Alongside this, almost every office/company situated in Two Rivers crosses here too, so we know we aren't alone. Please sign our petition today and secure a safer environment for those who live and work in the affected area.

Fed up with dogs of leads attacking smaller dogs like my yorkies, it is really bad here in fife

We, as a growing belief section of the community feel we are under represented marginalised and ignored with in these settings and encounter intolerance and ignorance and call for an end to this and our diversity to be celebrated and officially accepted and staff educated to know about our systems of celebration of life and death and care of our sick and our elders It is gravely important our belief systems are respected and represented with in health and care settings and our community tolerated and allowed our dignity. recently a druid priestess was in a nhs hospital in the north midlands during summer solstice, one of our holy high days of the pagan wheel of the year, and was subjected to verbal intolerance and taunting by some members of staff who encouraged patients to join in, been likened to as a Satanist and weird and also told we sacrifice animals, all of these nothing to do with the pagan and druid beliefs, the priestess was so affronted she raised it with the CQC and hospital chaplaincy and official complaints are in process

These are the people who have so much potential yet they throw away their money on nothing but a bag of chemical which at times can lead to death and many other things. At the end of the day this is the society your living in, would you rather live in a dangerous society with people running about of their heads on drugs, or a place without drugs, a safer and happier environment

This proposal does not have the support of the British Institute of Architects and would ciminalize tourists and visitors taking photographs in public with a copyrighted building or work of art such as the Angel of The North in the background.

Khat is not a drug and the government them selfs conducted a research that proved so. This is something that is only used for social gathering purposes.

There has been no consultation with the public to my knowledge. A lot of people live in hope of improving their lives with a lottery win. Camelot's argument that there will be bigger jackpots because there will be more roll overs may be factual but I'm sure most people would rather invest in the lottery as it stands. At present the odds on winning the top prize is approx. 13 million to 1. The new lottery due to start in October will make the odds 45 million to 1 and therefore make even the smaller prizes so much harder to win. Let's stop this before it happens and we will all have a better chance of winning.
