People in small towns and villages need internet just as much as people in big towns and cities. Decent broadband connection is essential for everything from paying bills to running businesses. But for some places in the UK, the internet speed is either painfully slow or non-existent. It's time the government stepped up and fulfilled it's promise of decent broadband for everyone.

It is important that the people in legal, civil service positions and those managing the country on behalf of the electorate have the people and country's best interests at heart and have no hidden agenda or secret loyalties that may influence their decisions in ways that may not be the best decision for the people and the for the country. This petition relates to MP's, Judges, Lawyers, Police and Civil Servants in all positions who are members of secret societies, including the Masonic Order, and have sworn an oath or "obligation" to the society putting it before everything and everyone else and swearing an oath to help members of the society in all situations, or face death if they do not. These societies meet behind closed doors and have secret agendas which mean the member cannot fulfil any roles honestly because they have an overriding loyalty to the secret society before anything else.

The £350 million a week going to the EU statistic on the side of Boris Johnson's Brexit Battle Bus is intentionally misleading the British public on an incredibly important issue. This is clearly intentional as the UK Statistics Authority has already warned the leave campaign that the claim is "potentially misleading". The figure does not include the UK's rebate and does not include any of the cash transfers back into the UK. This is a gross figure and not a net figure as it is being portrayed. If the leave campaign wishes to continue using this statistic they should properly set out what it actually includes and does not include as well as putting it into context. https://fullfact.org/blog/2016/apr/uk-statistics-authority-350-million-eu-membership-fee-potentially-misleading/ It is difficult to see this as anything other than a wilful attempt to mislead the public and this is unacceptable given the gravity of the decision about to be made.

The BBC has never been under such threat. It's being wound down with a view to the private market taking over areas that previously the BBC was responsible for. It always was a bastion of impartiality but that has been undermined by the Government choosing who is on the BBC Trust board! As such it's become nothing more than the official state broadcaster but under the guise of an independent organisation! This is dishonest broadcasting and it must stop!

There should be no place for the kind of racist slurs and innuendos that have characterised Conservative campaigning recently. All forms of racism, including anti-Semitism and Islamophobia, need to be rooted out from across the political spectrum.

Gas extraction firms plan to drill several shale gas wells in North Yorkshire in the next five years, after being handed the rights to explore using the controversial hydraulic fracturing process across the county by the national government. The Joint Waste and Mineral Plan for North Yorkshire is currently being negotiated by City of York Council, North Yorkshire County Council and the North Yorkshire Moors National Park authority. This plan, when enacted, will outline how each of these areas deal with a host of topics including recycling provision, waste management, as well as gas and mineral extraction. Due to national laws and regulation City of York Council, North Yorkshire County Council and North Yorkshire Moors National Park are not allowed to exclude gas drilling completely within their territories, but the the local authorities have influence to set conditions to protect residents and the outstanding countryside of North Yorkshire from the impact of the gas industry.

I have found it impossible to register to vote as I live in a Safe House in Bristol. With the local elections happening right now, and the EU referendum coming up, I'm left without a vote, without a voice, without a say on local Councillor appointment, City Mayor, the Police Crime Commissioner position or whether we stay in or out of the EU. My struggle to register made me realise this is a huge issue that no one even realises. As I live in a safe house it is vital for my safety that my name and address do not appear on the electoral register. The current system does provide an 'anonymous registration' process designed to protect vulnerable or at risk people who can't disclose their residential address. However this form requires evidenced approval through proven Court Injunction, written signature from a Police Superintendent or Adult Social Services management. For many in my situation, (estimated at 70% of all residents in Bristol safe houses by support staff here) their registration would not be eligible for sign off. Taking away the civil right, human right that was fought so hard for back in 1918 that introduced the 'Representation of the People Act' allowing women the right to vote. Across England there are over 250 independent refuges providing safe emergency accommodation for people fleeing domestic abuse. Thousands of people living in secure residential accommodation where location secrecy is of utmost importance. Thousands of people who will not be able to register to vote. That is a huge number of women being denied basic Human Rights. The Human Rights Act (1998) states "it is unlawful for public authority to act in a way which is incompatible with European Convention right". Safe houses and refuges by their very nature ensure all residents staying with them are in need of safety and security after leaving abuse. Therefore having management level able to sign the anonymous registration form is more than enough evidence for each residents need for anonymity. Such a simple solution for such an important change that needs to be made. Please sign and share this petition so we can no longer be kept in silence. Thank you.

This is important to challenge the claim that children need to pass these tests in order to have successful careers. Other important areas of education, such as the Arts, have to be neglected as teachers are pressured to ' teach to the tests'.

Britain First are a xenophobic, homophobic, and especially islamophobic far-right militant group who disguise themselves under the mask of 'patriotism'. The group is centred by former English Defence League and British National Party members Jayda Fransen and Paul Golding. Britain First should be classed as a terrorist group, due to their hate campaigns and fear campaigns against minority members of British society such as Muslims, and other religious minorities. The group regularly harass and provoke citizens of areas with a high concentration of minorities, and terrorise workers and administrators of 'satantic' and 'terrorist' locations such as halal butchers, and local mosques. Britain First also want to provoke a race war and a complete cultural divide, arguing that Britain is a 'Christian' country (despite having no religious constitution), and that any aspects of minority religions are not acceptable in British Society. Below is a few attachments of Britain Firsts operations, along with their propaganda machine that is the Britain First facebook page.

Dr Lewis is the ONLY MP in the house of commons who is only accessible through snail mail, the internet revolution of the last century hasn't made it to his office yet. There is a whole generation of voters who might never have written a letter. By not allowing people to contact him by e mail he is denying the electorate access and a voice to their local MP. Having spent over 10 years working in development in rural Afghanistan I have returned to the UK to discover my local MP is less contactable than an Afghan MP. We should have held some cash back from our 'Afghan democratisation endeavour' to help our local MP get on the web! As the government website itself says "email is a very convenient way for people to communicate" and encourages people to e mail their MP. In the New Forest we are unable to do this. E mail enables fast, immediate conversations with those who should be wanting to hear our voice, not silence it. I am not the first to notice the luddite in our midst http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3471687/Julian-Lewis-MP-REFUSES-communicate-constituents-online-regards-emails-insecure-prefers-communicate-letter-fax.html Please sign

As stated no member of parliament that could be deemed fraudulent should be allowed to decide what laws pass through the legislative system
