• Legalise Cannabis
    Now that we are no longer in the EU we as a nation need to secure more jobs, more revenue and most of all keep our health services up to date with the latest research and advanced technologies available. All over the world studies are proving that cannabis is a very effective form of treatment for hundreds if not thousands of illnesses from back pain to cancer. We recently had a petition that got a response based on out dated information and biased opinions, we are calling our government to base their response on their own personal views based on up to date research and information. The legalisation of cannabis has provided millions of dollars to states in the US. Money which is being used to better their health services, educational systems and much more, why are we not joining in the movement? Legalising Cannabis will help us thrive as a nation through production of hemp products, sales of the herb and mainly help the ill and pained people of the UK. Give us our freedom, end the war on cannabis today!

  • Accepting the EU Referendum result
    This issue is so important for our country. We are a democracy. It is vital that we accept and respect democratically made decisions, no matter how divisive the underlying issues driving those decisions. Holding a second referendum purely in response to the losing side being unhappy with the initial outcome would be damaging and divisive for our society. It would make a mockery of the democratic process and create still deeper divisions. Emotions in the Remain camp were sure to run high in the event of their losing the Referendum vote. 16 million people voted to Remain. The vast majority will feel they should respect the outcome of the democratic process, even if they do not agree with that outcome. However, it is not right or just that a diehard minority of disatsfied Remainers should attempt to force a second referendum purely on their disagreeing with the outcome of the first vote.

  • Call a General Election in two years when the terms for Brexit are known
    We have all voted with very little knowledge of what our relationship with the rest of Europe - and the rest of the world - will be like if we leave the EU. The two sides in the referendum campaign had wildly different views. We need another vote when these terms have become clearer, or we will be taking a massive leap in the dark.

  • Make David Cameron Sign article 50 now
    The people told him their wishes and he needs to act on it now. He doesn't have the right to postpone it. He only wants to postpone it so he is not the Prime Minister who took us out of the EU.

  • Tell Newham Council: We want our money back from Barclays and RBS!
    Did you know that the equivalent of 80% of your council tax goes on loan interest? Barclays and RBS sold Newham Council a bet on interest rates using loan deals called LOBOs - and they lost. That means £50 million in interest a year which could be used for: - Surestart centres - Community centres - Schools - Street cleaners - New council housing ...but instead that £50 million in interest is going to greedy banksters. Our legal advisers say that Newham's mayor, Sir Robin Wales, could put a stop to all this by taking the banks to court for mis-selling, just like we can do with PPI. Help us get our money back from the banks by signing this petition!

  • 16-18 year olds should have a say in our future relationship with Europe
    Britain will not leave the EU for at least 2 Years, by which time all these people will be eligible to vote under the current system. The Scottish referendum is a successful precedent. The turnout amongst registered 16-18 year olds in the Scottish referendum was 75%, proving that this age group are motivated and engaged in significant political decisions likely to have a dramatic effect on their future. My daughter is 18 and the referendum has been a constant topic of conversation amongst her school friends over the last few weeks. She voted, but many of her friends, who felt strongly about the issue were powerless to influence the decision because they were not eligible to vote. It is their generation that will feel the effect of this decision more keenly than mine or that of my parents, who have, by all accounts, been the main driving force behind our decision to leave. We should let these well educated and motivated youngsters have a say in the future of their country.

  • Protect the rights of existing British and EU residents to remain
    The 'Brexit' negotiations are likely to take considerable time. In the meantime EU citizens in Britain and British citizens in EU countries are suffering terrible uncertainty. The Prime Minister has said there will be "no immediate change in your circumstances". That is not enough. My 76 year-old father, who is living on a tiny British pension in France, is frightened that his healthcare rights will be removed or made too expensive. My friends of various EU nationalities are worried about their future in Britain; will they be allowed to remain indefinitely? Will they face discrimination or new barriers in their everyday life. A humane society that cares about its citizens must move quickly to allay these fears

  • Political Campaign Claims to be Independently Fact Checked before Use
    The EU referendum was a disgrace, both sides exaggerated and misled despite the particularly serious nature of the decision. Moreover, the Leave campaign was founded almost entirely on deliberate misrepresentation and creating imaginary fears. Democracy can only work with fair and accurate information and must not be reduced to who has the best marketing and manipulation strategies.

  • Divert £1bn to the NHS from the banks
    We have voted to leave the European Union. Right or wrong, there it is. With the news this morning that Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England, will make £250 BILLION POUNDS available for the banks to keep the financial markets of the UK stable, we are all complaining that the promise to divert much needed funds into the NHS was just rhetoric. Our Nation Health Service is falling apart. If this money is available to aid stability we should use a small amount of it wisely. The NHS is desperate for a cash injection, the banks are not. This petition is to the British Government, to supply the NHS with much needed cash to stabilise a true British achievement. The banks do not need ALL of the money and with the lies told for the leave campaign, its about time the people who devote their lives to helping others keep their health got a bit of a breather.

  • Call a General Election Within 6 Months of the Vote to Leave the European Union
    Without a general election, only 150,000 Conservative Party members will have the power to decide who the next Prime Minister is, and by extension the team who will negotiate our exit from the European Union. This is unacceptable. The EU referendum has proved that this country is deeply divided. Now is the time to allow people to try and come together behind a particular vision of post-Brexit Britain. The binary nature of this referendum has been divisive -- only a general election is the right way to try and build bridges to the future.
