• Listen to our children
    Children who have gender dysphoria have already fought enough battles without having basic human rights also removed. The self harm and suicide rate is already shockingly high due to bullying and long waits to be seen at Tavistock and I fear it will now increase as children will be forced to go through a puberty that feels alien to them. We want the decision of hormone blockers to be decided by the child, gender clinic, endocrine clinic and the parent/carer, not by a judge that does not know the child and who has limited knowledge of transgender issues.

  • immigration fees and IHS FEES
    THIS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AS I AM GOING THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW, IT SEEMS THESE FEES GOES UP EVERY YEAR AND THE IHS SURCHARGE HAS GONE UP THIS YEAR AS WELL GIVING THE CIRCUMSTANCES THIS YEAR WHEN PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS I THINK ITS WRONG TO PUT THESE UP MOREOVER OUR EUROPEAN COUNTERPART DON'T HAVE TO PAY THE IHS FEES. WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS AND THEY USE THE NHS JUST US WE SAY WE TREAT PEOPLE EQUALLY BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE HERE WE HAVE BEEN MADE TO PAY MORE JUST BECAUSE WE ARE FROM THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES OR FROM POORER COUNTRIES. WHEN I FIRST MADE MY APLLICATION IN 2014 THERE WAS NO IHS FEE TO PAY BUT I HAVE TO PAY £500 IN 2017 FOR IT AND A £1000 THIS YEAR AND IN OCTOBER THIS YEAR THE PRICE HAS GONE UP AGAIN TO £624 A YEAR WHICH MEANT FOR A TWO AND HALF YEARS VISA IT WILL COST YOU £1560 PLUS THE APLLICATION FEES AND ITS NOT FAIR AT ALL.

  • End the inequality of Furlough. Introduce an Unconditional Basic Income for Everyone
    When the Unconditional Basic Income is in place 1. Everyone could afford to self isolate if asked to. 2. Anyone could start up a new business enterprise to create a "new normal" post Covid economy 3. End the inequality of furlough and SEISS. Where some get lots and some get nothing 4. Key workers are properly valued for the essential work that they are doing because they keep their Unconditional Basic Income on top of their pay packet. 5. End poverty.

  • Mark all Scottish properties where Slavery compensation was paid to residents with a plaque
    It is important that we recognise the importance of Scotland in the slave trade and in particular how the most sought after areas of our cities owe their elegance to the abject ugliness of that trade.

    Because there are lots of people missing out on enjoying attending football games. They can not attend stadiums and have paid a year subscription to BT who have now changed there original offer without considering their original contracts with existing customers.

  • Allow all streamers on Facebook to stream 1080p 60fps (not just those who pass criteria)
    Doesn’t it seem counterintuitive? You have to earn followers before you can stream in crisp 1080p 60fps? People want to watch the best quality possible. As if starting out isn’t hard enough, let’s make it so you have to stream in low resolution & earn followers before you can stream in high resolution. How are streamers meant to gain followers and viewers if their quality is sub par to those who already have a following?

  • Royal Institution-Stop Honouring Slave Owner Now.
    The Royal Institution has two "Fullerian Professorships" named after John Fuller MP (1757-1834). Fuller was a slave owner and vociferous opponent of abolition using his position as an MP to further that cause.Fuller was a member of the West India Interest a pressure group who funded pseudo-scientific research to show Black people as degenerate and lazy. The money Fuller endowed on the Royal Institution is indelibly tainted by the vile system of slavery, and together with his abuse of science Fuller is a totally unsuitable person for the Royal Institution to "honour".

  • Mortgage help for the unemployed.
    I saved for years to get a deposit for a house and had very little social life because of that, but that isn't the issue, I bought a house with my wife and had a beautiful talented daughter. I find myself unemployed through no fault of my own but my mortgage payments are not covered by universal credit, my monthly income is less than £300 a month after housing costs. But if I was renting I could get £172 a week more. is that fair? I have cashed in my pension to cover our living costs , but it has run out. Covid 19 has destroyed my chance of a new job for the time being. I am 59 years old and have worked since I was 17. Please support my petition. I hope to be working soon, but many people will not be able too , protect their homes.

  • Conjugal visits in the UK
    It is important because it would maintain family ties, bonds and connections giving the prisoner a reason to believe that the chances of returning to an ordinary family life is possible after their release from prison. They also provide an incentive to comply with the various rules and regulations while they are incarcerated.

  • Protection for unmarried couples
    So many couples live together long term and have children, they live together as husband and wife, We may call it common law. So a common law wife/husband in real terms has no law at all to protect them, even thogh the term common law suggests it does. Not many couple are aware of this until they split up. Couples who are not married need to be aware of this and need to have the law to protect them as though they are married, So many couples get ripped off because there is no law out there that truly protects them. Not many have legal agreements in place as they are not advised to do so. Its time for this to be brought upto date and have equal protection for all. if someone gives their whole live over to a relationship and the other person walks out after 19 years, leaving the person without any legal protection is simply wrong. 15 years or even 10 years is considered a lifetime, especially if they have had children together. Its time we were given the same rights as a married couples and all the same responsibilities after they split up, they live together as man and wife so therefore should have the same rights. A lot of people also suffer violence and abuse, this needs to be taken into account because many people also suffer from long term abuse and violence within their relationship. Many people just get use to it and think its normal, but it is not normal. Again a partner can simply walk away and not have any responsibility because there is no law in place. There simply needs to be a law in place to protect these couples who have given their lives to a relationship, we are treated as a married couple, we live together as a married couple, so we need the law to protect us. THE LAW NEEDS TO BE UPDATED, WE ALL NEED EQUAL RIGHTS IN MODERN TIMES!
