• Stand up to Trump's Islamophobia
    To challenge the anti-Muslim rhetoric and re-inforce all British citizens' rights to travel freely. To highlight that Trump's stated desire to exclude members of one particular religion from entering the US is in contradiction of the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

  • Whole of Ponteland must stay in Hexham Constituency.
    This proposal would effectively split a Community. We are a rural area and it makes no sense to attach the East Ward to an urban area. We have a hard-working MP, Guy Opperman, who understands rural affairs. This would adversely affect our infrastructure, our social affairs and the education of our children.

  • Associate EU citizenship for UK nationals
    Over 16 million people voted to remain in the EU, and together with a proportion of those who voted leave, strongly wish to retain the cultural benefits and friendship between European nations at an individual level. When Brexit is confirmed, currently all UK citizens will lose their EU citizenship and for me will affect such things as twinning, student exchange, and cultural exchanges.

  • Do not invite President Trump to visit the U.K.
    America's has chosen a narcissistic racist misogynist to represent them on the world stage. Whilst respecting their right to do this we have the right to refrain from endorsing him as an individual by refraining from inviting him into the U.K. President Trump has values that run counter to British values of equality and openness. We should not subject the Crown to the indignity of providing an audience to such an individual. Whilst Parliament has previously discussed excluding Mr Trump from the UK And has decided against such action, this is not the same as extending an invitation to him. Mr Trump is free to apply to visit the UK. But we should refrain from inviting him.

  • Get rid of benefits fraud hot line
    Fraud only accounts for 0.7% of benefits claims, ( whilst society believes it to be closer to 30% ) The excellent film, I, Daniel Blake, accounts accurately people's experience of this system of conscious cruelty, further it perpuates the myth that those in receipt of social security claims are ( almost by default) potentially thieves. Compliance officers from the dwp make their living from such hotline calls, but the majority of investigations are found to be due to malicious calls from neighbours. The cost of running this hotline is far more substantial than the small minority caught. ( only £50 per person ) The government could then put this money into areas of social security or care where it's needed. The entire process is distressing and costly to the uk tax payer. Please stop this and help to end the myth of ' benefit fraud ' . This hotline is also free to call, unlike the 55p charge per minute it costs on a mobile to make a claim. It’s proof of the way this government unfairly targets and seeks to stigmatise the sick and vulnerable.

  • Make British Politicians and MPs Use The NHS Instead of Private Healthcare
    All British politicians and all Members of Parliament need to experience the poor care and clinical negligence that the British public face when using the NHS - otherwise the service received on the NHS will never improve. It must be acknowledged that there are some fabulous NHS staff caring for people as we speak and that they give their very best despite being understaffed and overworked. This petition is not about them, this petition is regarding the type of NHS staff detailed below. Having read and heard endless horror stories of clinical negligence by NHS healthcare providers in the news and in health forums, I was naive to think these things wouldn't happen to me. This year I have had a serious illness that was repeatedly misdiagnosed as trivial illnesses by numerous GPs, despite being in extremely severe pain for a week and a half. Whilst in agonising pain, I was asked to wait for a letter to tell me when I can have tests done. I was finally admitted to hospital for a week after demanding that tests be done in A&E immediately. People who can't afford private healthcare should not have to die like Phillipa Odlin due to being dismissed at A&E by judgemental staff saying she had a hangover when, in fact, she had fatal diabetic complications. Read the story below: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/oct/29/diabetic-fatal-condition-mistaken-for-hangover-ombudsman-100-cases-blunders-hospitals NHS mental health teams are another issue. Only 15 per cent of people in the UK who require psychiatric treatment on the NHS actually receive it. Charlie Marks lost his life because he had to rely on the NHS to treat him for his mental health problems and wasn't taken seriously. Read the story below: http://www.bridgwatermercury.co.uk/news/14809019.Family_pleads_for_NHS_change_after_inquest_into_teenager_s_suicide/ Why should only people who can afford private healthcare, such as British politicians and Members of Parliament, be entitled to adequate healthcare? Being treated for conditions that could be life-threatening as well as trivial conditions should be a right, not a luxury reserved just for the rich. Positive changes to the NHS will only be made when all British politicians and all Members of Parliament (as well as their families and relatives) have to rely on the NHS for all of their healthcare needs. This will equate to equal human rights for all in the United Kingdom.

  • prosecute the Daily Mail for race hate
    Because although the promotion of race hate is a serious criminal offence, it is an almost daily occurrence in the pages of the Daily Mail - yet no action is taken against the newspaper or its editor. Today's front page is a particularly egregious example

    The miners and their relatives have never had a full and fair explanation as to what went so wrong with the policing, and subsequently, on the day and the days after the events at the plant.

  • Orgreave Now
    There is a lack of faith in the South Yorkshire Police but there also seems to be a cover up with cabinet papers not being released. The bitterness of this dispute still hangs over the communities involved
