Unreasonable to send children back home after living 7 Years in UKIt is long period of time and it is extremely unfair with them to leave the country. It will be difficult for them to restart their education in a different environment. Mostly they do not know the language, If they can speak but it should keep in mind , it is not only speaking necessary to carry on study in THEIR HOME country, they also need read and write the same language which home office totally ignore IN THEIR DECISIONS. Mostly home office remix the culture and religious practice, but these are the two different things. The children can not find the same surrounding environment, where they have brought up and have spent their seven years of life. So to expect reasonable for them to leave the country after 7 years is unfair. Where a family with a child or children who have lived in the UK for 7 years or more apply for leave to remain on the basis of paragraph 276ADE(1)(iv), there is an increasingly strong argument that the applications should normally be granted if the period of residence is satisfied and there is no bad behaviour by the applicants, they are well settled and integrated and therefore it would not be reasonable for the child or children to have to start over with their life again in another country.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Awais Baig

New Homeless Hostel for NorthamptonThe council, for some bizarre reason is seeking to fine the homeless. Not only will the homeless have no money, they will also have no fixed abode! Far rather the Council needs to open a new hostel for the homeless. They could fund it with the 10.5 million pounds they gave to Northampton Football club Directors - they need to get this back!9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marlene Packwood

No fines for homeless in NorthamptonIt targets vulnerable people and fines them when they are clearly not in a position to pay. It criminalises people who are already at a low ebb and already face considerable challenges in getting their lives back on track. It is a waste of taxpayers' money chasing people with no money through the judicial system for money that they cannot afford.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Simon Starkey

Ban Supermarkets From Throwing Away Unused FoodFrance has become the first country in the world to ban supermarkets from throwing away or destroying unsold food, forcing them instead to donate it to charities and food banks. There is food banks in most towns and cities across the UK and like France the wasted food could be donated to them. Almost 50% of total amount of food thrown away in the UK comes from our home. We throw away 7 million tonnes of food and drink from our homes every year in the UK, and more than half of this food and drink we could've eaten and this 7 million tonnes of food wasted is equal to over £17,000,000,000 of worth of food each year, yes you heard me £17,000,000,000 which could be all given to those in need. It is also terrible for the enviroment. It takes a land mass larger than China to grow the food each year that is ultimately never eaten – land that has been deforested, species that have been driven to extinction, indigenous populations that have been moved, soil that has been degraded – all to produce food that we then just throw away. In addition, food that is never eaten accounts for 25% of all fresh water consumption globally. Gulp. Not only are all of the resources that went into creating the uneaten food wasted (land, water, labour, energy, manufacturing, packaging, etc), but when food waste goes to landfill, which is where the vast majority of it ends up, it decomposes without access to oxygen and creates methane, which is 23x more deadly than carbon dioxide. Every which way you look at it food waste is a major culprit in destroying our planet, and in fact if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases after China and the USA. Millions upon millions people are starving every year all around the world and we all will be affected by global warming,that's over 7,00,000,000 people! Saving these unused foods can resolve this problem immensely.94 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ish khan

Draw attention to government policies which shorten the lives of the elderly.Statistics published by the ONS in July 2016 show that the mortality rate in England and Wales increased by 5.7% in 2015. This was equivalent to an extra 27,000 deaths, the biggest annual rise since 1968. Rates were notably higher at ages 75 and over for both males and females in 2015 compared with 2014. In fact, the death rate has increased year on year since 2011 (with the exception of a 1.1% fall in 2014), indicating the reversal of a long term trend of falling death rates which began in the 1970s. Danny Dorling, an Oxford University professor and an adviser to Public Health England, said: “When we look at 2015, we are not just looking at one bad year. We have seen excessive mortality - especially among women - since 2012 ….. I suspect the largest factor here is cuts to social services - to meals on wheels, to visits to the elderly …” Social services budgets have been badly affected by reduced grants from central government, which have been cut by 36% since 2011. Furthermore, as noted by the Guardian (14th November 2015): “Councils in northern, urban cities and London boroughs with high levels of deprivation predominantly run by Labour have seen their budgets cut by almost 10 times the amount lost by mostly Tory-administered authorities in rural southern England.” The precedent for a UN inquiry into violations of human rights caused by government spending cuts was established in October 2015, when, at a closed hearing in London, the UN launched an investigation into alleged violations of disabled people’s human rights in the UK. The inquiry’s findings will be published in 2017.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark White

Blame CultureAnother example of the deficiencies of the regulator essentially shifting blame and their own shortcoming on to these practitioners who very bravely risked their own lives in treating ebola patients. These wonderful nurses and human beings should be honoured and deeply respected not persecuted, its an absolute disgrace. Its about time this injustice was recognised and put right please speak up on their behalf18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mike Bush

Refuse Royal Assent to the Investigatory Powers BillThe most important liberty of all is privacy, a right to operate in silence and in peace. Assuming no one is being harmed and everyone is innocent until proven guilty; I'd rank it above the freedom to speak. I wish to admit, but avoid, my republican nature in my argument and I think I can. I wish to remain polite and not be too crude. Unfortunately life is very much crude, and events are rarely polite. I cannot help but notice the masses around me suffering poverty under the guise of austerity. The sheer amount of charities that have sprung up, to cope with public services' duties. I feel this creates an air of "Us First", pitting poor against poor. Whilst those who are supposed to serve this kingdom do so well. This is aimed at our politicians and not a republican's slip. You have a chance to break with tradition and remind the world that "how we've always done it" is a terrible argument for a society that wishes to progress. As I'm sure you are well aware, Royal Assent has not been given in person since 1854 and has not been refused since 1707. I believe that breaking both of these records on the same day would send an important message through the ranks who support this bill, as well as to the people who oppose it. I fear that if you do not, Eric Arthur Blair may become the greatest prophet this country ever created. This comes from someone who hates clichéd tropes.24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Allan Forbes

Help for AleppoThe people still in Aleppo including children are being bombed and starved by their own Government. So far the United Nations has stood by and watched. This is not a call for military intervention but a humanitarian one. If the UN cant organise this they should be wound up and the money they consume passed to charities who are not afraid to act when necessary.36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Colin Hope

LGBT+ Support SessionI am a student at Blackburn University Centre I have created a project linking with the LGBT+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexuals and Transgender plus) Community. I think there is a lack of support out there. There was support sessions in place but due to funding cuts the help diminished so I want to re-instate that to the public. So I want to have support sessions in place offered by trained staff in all schools, colleges and Universities. I feel that there is a need of this campaign due to a lack of understanding of the meanings and clarification of the LGBT+ Community. SO I want YOUR HELP!! Some facts - 58% did not feel that their school was a safe and welcoming place for lesbian, gay or bisexual pupils, also 13% said that reporting bullying actually resulted in anything being done about it. 50% of lesbian and bisexual women under the age of 20 have self-harmed in the past year, compared to 1 in 15 generally. (Stonewall: 2008) and finally LGB people are twice as likely as heterosexual people to have suicidal thoughts or to make suicide attempts. Also another shocking fact - Lesbian, Gay and Bisexuals people are two to three times more likely than heterosexual people to suffer from depression. I want your help so please sign this petition - I will appreciate it!64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Howarth

Support Lauri Loves request for an appeal against his extradition to AmericaIt is important because Lauri Love is considered to be a high suicide risk, given his Aspergers Syndrome and related mental health issues, by top AS specialists and by his GP: over 100 MPs recently wrote to President Obama requesting that Love should face any alleged charges in the UK if this us deemed necessary. This vulnerable young man whose extraordinary computer skills are symptomatic of his mental health issues in terms of obssessive behaviours, is likely to become a test case for the new legislation linked to the extradition of UK citizens. This case is likely to progress to the High Court and ultimately the European Court of Human Rights, at considerable cost to the public purse and its impact on the young man's mental health.39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Norma Hornby

Immigration data collectionExperts warn immigration data collection at work could contravene race relations and anti-discrimination laws. Amber's list is divisive;We are asking the Parliament to make any requirement for companies to collect immigration data or disclose the number of foreign workers they employ illegal. “At a time when we need strong links globally to seize new opportunities after the [Brexit] referendum, being seen as open to the best and brightest is vital,” said Josh Hardie, deputy director-general of the CBI of employers' organisation. “Those of us who want a sensible Brexit, who want Britain to remain a beacon of tolerance and who find the denigration of non-British workers appalling have a duty to speak out.”Roland Rudd,Amber Rudd's own Brother.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Right2 workuk
