Public appology needed by Penelope Leach for views against fathers.I've been in the unfortunate position of being a weekend Dad for a long time, and have felt nothing but discrimination as a result. Having recently tried and passionately fight for custody of my children through the farcical family courts, I cannot begin to imagine what must be going through my children’s minds as to why Dad is no longer available to them every day. As the primary carer due to being self-employed and at home; all the routines, bedtime stories, school runs, meals etc. that were in place prior to being made homeless by my wife a few years ago, were suddenly non-existent, and a family unit destroyed by the mother, yet people like Penelope Leach clearly feel mothers are perfect and that fathers cannot provide the same level of care, compassion, love, discipline. Having read her views I'm absolutely livid. A couple of months ago just prior to Mother’s Day I sat with my two boys (5 & 6) and they painted up two empty wooden jewellery boxes and decorated them with various craft bits and pieces. They then each made a homemade Mother’s Day card. They were both very proud, as was I of what they had done, and only too eager to give these to their mother. Yesterday was Father’s Day, and I received only a wonderful card made by one son at School. My oldest commented that he was hadn't been able to make one. While I don't expect any gifts, the fact that each year, on birthdays, father’s day etc., my children’s mother cannot be bothered to ensure that my children at least give me a card it shows how poor this particular mother is in thinking about the best interest of her children. There are some fantastic fathers out there and some extremely poor mothers and Penelope Leach does not recognise this.75 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jason Spurgeon

commemorate the death of jean charles de menezes (22nd of july 2015)Jean Charles de Menezes (pronounced [ʒeˈɐ̃ ˈʃahlis dʒi meˈnezis] in Brazilian Portuguese) 7 January 1978 – 22 July 2005) was a Brazilian man shot dead by the London Metropolitan police at Stockwell tube station on the London Underground after he was misidentified as one of the fugitives involved in the previous day's failed bombing attempts. These events took place two weeks after the London bombings of 7 July 2005, in which 52 people were killed. Contemporaneous and later police and media accounts contradicted each other, specifically regarding Menezes's manner and clothing as he entered the station, and whether there had been any police warnings before they fired. The death sparked an intense public debate over a shoot-to-kill practice known as Operation Kratos. The codename was dropped in 2007, but the policy continues. Police put under surveillance the communal entrance to a block of flats in Tulse Hill, south London, in which Menezes was living, and saw Menezes leave the building. Plain clothes officers, armed with pistols, followed him as he took a bus to Brixton tube station, before boarding another to Stockwell because the tube station at Brixton was closed. Specialist firearms officers were called to Stockwell. Just after Menezes entered a train, several officers wrestled him to the ground and fired seven bullets into his head at point blank range. The train was still at the platform with its doors open, having just been evacuated by officers. The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) launched two investigations. Stockwell 1, the findings of which were initially kept secret, concluded that none of the officers would face disciplinary charges. Stockwell 2 strongly criticised the police command structure and communications to the public, bringing pressure on the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair to resign. In July 2006, the Crown Prosecution Service said there was insufficient evidence to prosecute any of the officers, although a corporate criminal prosecution of the Metropolitan Police was brought under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. This alleged that the police service had failed in its duty of care to Menezes. The service was found guilty and fined. On 12 December 2008 an inquest returned an open verdict.[1]I feel that because of the way he was taken from life that it is the least that can be done. I pass the memorial at stockwell and look it to his young eyes and it makes me upset that he was killed so brutally .31 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Martin Kershaw

No Homeless SpikesThere has been a 37% rise in the amount of people sleeping rough since your government took power; 50000 families were accepted as homeless by their local authority in 2012/13 and the average life expectancy of a homeless person is 47. These statistics sicken us. Show us you feel the same by outlawing these new deterrents to homeless people finding somewhere to sleep when they have nowhere else to go. We do not believe the removal of these spikes will stop homelessness, anymore than their installation will stop homelessness, but it may convince us that you and your government are not anti-homeless people.149 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Shaun Byrne

Campaign against taking Metallica off the Glastonbury Festival line-upThis is important because for many of us, Metallica's performance at Glastonbury Festival will be a memory we will treasure forever. Taking them off the line-up would be an absolute tragedy for their fans. Especially for such a ridiculous reason which has nothing to do with their music. As much as I am against game hunting, it's not as if they're going to be doing it on the Festival site, is it?? Chris Jenaya Aaron Dale's petition is like saying to a friend, "you can't come ice skating because you eat meat." So please, support my petition for the sake of amazing music.93 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anthea Pawsey

Stop all cuts to Arts Funding! Remove VAT from theatre tickets.The UK spends less per person on the Arts than almost any other country in the EU. And theatre gets more tourists visiting the country & RAISES more revenue than football.This should be acknowledged. Removal of VAT would make theatre more accessible to the less well off!95 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nick Simons

Ban this wretched man - William NewmanFreedom of the press is essential for any functional democracy. The hacking scandal has exposed the UK's press urgent need for reform and effective regulation. The majority of the press want to self-regulate with a new body IPSO but the recruitment of William Newwman to the new IPSO board shows it will be business as usual for the press. Most people understand ,the risk of government involvement in press regulation as recommended by Lord Justice Leveson, but this represents continued contempt by the press for the 96 who died at Hillsborough. It seems you will never learn...13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steve Morris
