People who are refugees are people and deserve dignity, respect and support to maintain the basic human needs of having adequate shelter.

I am a consultant for additional educational and emotional needs. I have spent most of the last 50 years working with young people who have complex learning difficulties. We, as a society, must show understanding and compassion. DR MIC CAROLAN

The cuts to funding will hinder people with learning disabilities, who want to live independently, as well as homeless projects, potentially creating a Postcode lottery. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/dwp-disability-cuts-supported-housing-mencap-womens-refuges-homeless-hostels-a7309466.html#gallery Ministers say it is needed for efficiently, but picking on vulnerable members of society, will only increase problems further down the line. Steps to tackle corporate tax dodging would be a better way of making these savings. As someone who is disabled myself, I feel very strongly, that people like us should be able to live independently, and contribute to society, and not be made to feel we are being cast out. Growing up, I was made to feel a second class citizen by peoples attitudes, and have felt we have made a lot of progress through coverage of the Paralympics, being a great example.

This has created a massive impact on the UK welfare population that goes all the way to mothers caring for their disabled children, charging people ludicrous fines and causing much suffering for those affected. For example of this here's links to supporting articles such as a woman accused of being married to a dead pensioner http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/37339981 http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/teen-mum-tax-credits-stopped-8825953

If we have free training and education then the hope is we will have a better lifestyle in this country a happier workforce less poverty and a government at last realising that education is for all not just the few. And more important education is a must to growth and this hopefully will help to take away the catch 22 you must have a loan.

Innocent women and children and being killed everyday, this is a war crime and must be stopped now!

The cost of this wall is a devastating £17 million. This money would be far better spent on addressing the issues facing the desperate people you are trying to stop. Local residents in Calais are against the wall. The Road Haulage Association has said it is not a good use of taxpayers' money. A representative from Auberge des Migrants, an aid group working in Calais has said that building a wall will not achieve what it sets out to do anyway: people will still find a way round it but it will be more dangerous and possibly cause an increase in the price charged by people traffickers.

These are barbaric devices are simply aimed at humiliating people. Regardless of what someone has been arrested for they should not be subjected to this level of humiliation. This is a link to a video showing how the Police used one of these masks on a young black lad. The use of these masks is absolutely disgusting and if it is allowed to continue who knows where such practices will end up? http://www.thecanary.co/2016/09/06/met-police-adds-new-weapon-collection-controversial-wont-use-public/

Air strikes are indiscriminate and deadly. They kill and maim en mass and are based on so called 'intelligence'. The current viral circulation of little Omran Daqneesh dusty and bloodied in an ambulance has once again gripped the world. But what of little Aylan in Sept. 2015? He drowned trying to escape the horrendous conflict in Syria that have killed well in excess of 300,000 people and displaced millions more. What of the M10 hospital bombing in early August? These viral stories are swiftly forgotten by our media but must not be allowed. Please sign and force this issue to be discussed once more in parliament.

We currently face a problematic situation where there is a schism between the laws that protect patients within the NHS and those that relate to private healthcare when an injury is sustained by a patient due to negligent treatment. Private healthcare patients are commonly led to believe that the care they are paying for will exceed the highest standards offered by the NHS, and assume that the claims made in company mission statements, advertising literature and company accounts have to be correct and true by law. Unfortunately, this is not so. In cases where patients are treated wrongfully or negligently private healthcare patients currently have less access to adequate redress and compensation than NHS patients. This is partly because liability insurance for surgeons in the private sector is discretionary rather than mandatory meaning that cover can be withdrawn – even retrospectively – leaving patients without the possibility of compensation. The petitioners therefore ask Parliament to legislate to require all private healthcare providers/companies/institutions to have liability insurance covering compensation for negligence in the work of their employees and of freelance healthcare professionals working on their behalf or practising on their premises. Furthermore, private healthcare providers/companies/institutions should be obligated to ensure that the surgeons they provide to perform procedures are not only correctly qualified and competent, but also not under investigation, suspension or other disciplinary action from other private healthcare providers/companies/institutions or NHS authorities. At present legislation is insufficient, allowing one private healthcare company to permit their legal representatives to write in a legal defence document that they were ‘under no obligation to provide competent surgeons to perform surgery at the hospital’ and had ‘no duty to protect patients from harm, and risk of injury’. The Petitioners would like to add that legislation should be put in place to ensure that no surgeon under disciplinary procedures can work anywhere in the UK (NHS or private sector) until the issues for which they are being investigated are properly and completely resolved to the satisfaction of the GMC, the patient(s) and in the case of fatalities the patients' families. We ask Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt and the Department of Health to close the legal loophole which allows for private healthcare patients to be left without protection or redress when things go wrong. With an increasing role played by private healthcare companies fulfilling NHS contracts we must put public safety first and ensure that private healthcare companies are obligated to provide clinical excellence for all their patients, to be transparent in their investigation of complaints and to provide proper protection and redress if things go wrong. We must not allow negligent practice to run rife in the private sector, and we cannot allow ruthless profiteering without responsibility to permeate our NHS.

Imagine the nuclear bombs in our country went off, leaving our nation a wasteland and we had to flee to mainland Europe or Africa, should they turn us away because we're refugees? Because we're of another faith or skin colour? Would other nations letting us die be okay? Chances are you said, no, so how is it okay for us to let thousands of people die every day trying to escape war. War that we created. They're trying to escape the IS, they're trying to escape the bombs that France, America and We drop on them. We need to do more. These are human beings and we are letting them die.

Darryl could be any one of hundreds of people in this city. He has clearly fallen through the cracks and is caught up in some Kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare. He needs a home. He is not alone.
