• Close Bookies Down
    It is important because if the bookies were closed down or there was no bookies at all the people that lose money on fruit machines, horse betting etc would have that money in their pocket. Instead of thinking that they can use the last pounds that they may have in their pockets to be taken by a machine.

  • Twitter / Facebook - Tell us if fake profiles are being used to manipulate the UK political space
    There is some concern that Facebook and Twitter are being manipulated in order to undermine political debate in the UK. Many people who suggest this are accused of being paranoid or conspiracy theorists. Facebook and Twitter have the resources and data to confirm whether or not this is true, and if it is true to confirm whether or not it is a technical breach of their Terms and Conditions. It is also within their power to indicate the likely source of such a campaign. By conducting such an investigation and publishing the results, 2 of the largest media organisation in the world have a powerful opportunity to send a message about what is acceptable behaviour in political discourse on social media, and more broadly to make a strong statement about the value of fairness and honesty in democratic society.

  • Save Chelsea Farmers Market
    The Chelsea Farmers Market is one of the few remaining outdoor independent trading locations in the heart of Chelsea reflecting the great history that made the Kings Road and surrounding areas a place individual to the rest of London, a thriving village. Any plan to demolish this would remove a heart of the community that is different from any where else in Chelsea. Only this site offers a unique outdoor experience to diners and shoppers. The Kings Road has increasingly become like any other High Street in England, however The Chelsea Farmers Market offers an escape from this by providing relaxed outdoor experience all year round to the residents and visitors of Chelsea. It's a unique destination enjoyed by all walks of life. The loss of The Chelsea Farmers Market would be another nail in the coffin for independent traders and individual community space for the sake of the commercial and financial gain of the minority. We need the power of the local residents, visitors and Londoners to help prevent this change to an area that will be demolished and never be re-created. Your signature can help preserve one of the few existing open air trading spaces, save jobs and prevent another concrete jungle from being developed.

  • Employ Beach Litter Wardens
    All councils with beaches should start enforcing strict (and expensive) anti-littering on the spot fines. The state of our coastline is becoming disgusting and adds to worldwide ocean pollution . The fines would easily pay for the wardens and would act as a deterrent.

  • Help stop the press lying to us
    Keeping our society fair means that people need accurate information on which to make an informed decision about the issues they care about. In the recent referendum on the EU both Leave and Remain campaigns were supported by the press in spreading disingenuous information to suit an agenda. The news media spread misinformation and outright lies instead of reporting facts. Several retractions have since been made in tiny panels tucked away where they cannot be seen without a headline. To help the news media uphold the high editorial standards which they aim to meet I think it is important that there is a cost to them for lying to the public and that retractions, apologies and correction are clear and visible. The Editors' Code of Practice can be found here: https://www.ipso.co.uk/editors-code-of-practice/ It states that "A significant inaccuracy, misleading statement or distortion must be corrected, promptly and with due prominence, and — where appropriate — an apology published. In cases involving IPSO, due prominence should be as required by the regulator." We believe that 'due prominence' should impact upon the publication to a degree that encourages due diligence. Please sign the petition if you agree.

  • Give Harry and Hoddle the England Job
    We all know Hoddle did the business at first, but the press got their claws into him and even the mighty Mourinho had a flap when the media attacked. He doesn't handle the stress of the media well but this doesn't stop him being a tactical genius and doesn't take away any of the international experience he has as both a player and manager. Remit: Tactics, Training, Coaching, Growth, Selection Advice. Harry is cream of the English crop of motivation. Look what he did with Bournemouth, West Ham and Pompey. He wasn't too shabby at spurs either, but his head was turned because there was only one job in the world he wanted more; this one. But we should keep him away from it, because he actually wants it, right? His tactics are questioned by many, (as a season ticket holder at pompey who has watched dross for 25/30 seasons I actually disagree here), but there is no one better at making a player believe in themselves with English footballing blood in the veins than Harry Redknapp. He's also pretty good at getting squads to focus on creating chances... something we were pitiful at in France. Remit: Team Talks, Press Conferences, TV Interviews, Creating Chances and Scoring Goals, Selection Advice. The FA probably won't listen to us, but this is our chance to tell them that we don't mind how much Hoddle loves God or Harry loves a morning raid. If they're the best we've got, we don't care about their corporate image rights, give them the damn job and if they win something, you'll all earn more in advertising anyway. P.S. I'm guessing a few QPR fans and other Pompey fans might disagree with this, but without agents, wages and dodgy owners mixing the muddy waters, I think we'd get the best out of them)

  • Chris Skidmore - Support Proportional Representation
    The country, and the people of Kingswood, recently voted for a shake up of British politics. Citizens of Kingswood feel underrepresented by the political system in the United Kingdom. Mixed-member proportional representation, as used in the devolved assemblies of Scotland, Wales and London, ensures that the views and concerns of all citizens in each constituency are better represented at a national level. At the 2015 general election 24,873 voters in Kingswood, 51.7% of the voting public, saw their votes count for nothing. Their votes for Labour, UKIP, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens, the BNP, TUSC and Vapers In Power did not contribute to the election of a single MP in Westminster. Their voices have effectively been silenced. The story is the same all over the country. UKIP received nearly 4 million votes and only 1 seat, the Greens received over 1 million votes and also only 1 seat. The result of the 2015 election was arguably the least representative in modern history, leaving voters powerless and disillusioned. This is not democracy. We, the people of Kingswood, urge you to represent our wishes and take every opportunity to back mixed-member proportional representation in your role as our MP.

  • Team Orders
    F1 is a viewer based sport, without viewers, both at the venues, and at home watching on tv, there would be very little point in racing. Viewers don't want to see a race outcome decided by team orders, they want to see the best driver win in his own merit. At the moment Mercedes are at the top of the pack in F1 and offering some thrills to viewers by letting their drivers race wheel to wheel if the opportunity arises.
