Dorset #NoVoiceThe forums are made up from elected representatives from the 9 regions in England. These representatives talk to government and other Organisations such as the NHS & CQC to give the opinions and voice of people with a learning disability. Without the forums, the voice of people with a learning disability will be lost. We are worried that when the government stop supporting and listening to people with learning disabilities others may stop too. More people with a learning disability could end up isolated and alone with nowhere to turn. Please sign this petition and show our local MPs how important the voice of people with a learning disability is. We would really like them to speak up for the people in their communities that have #NoVoice. We want MPs to tell government that their local community think people with a learning disability should be included at a local, regional and national level. We think the Department of Health should reconsider funding the vital work of the forums. http://nationalforums.co.uk/71 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kerry Martin

Recognise PCS Union at National Museums Liverpool Trading CieWorkplaces that recognise unions tends to have better levels of pay, happiness and do provide better services to their users. National Museums Liverpool is a public service and should not be exploiting its workers, many of them only earning just about the minimum wage. Many employees of the NML Trading company are local young people and they deserve as much respect as their colleagues employed directly by the museums. As NMLT is fully owned by the museums, museum bosses should not pretend they cannot act or ensure better standards. Yes there have been budget cuts for museums but surely union recognition would not cost a penny and if workers were getting the real Living Wage and decent hours of work, they would be spending their wages in the local economy and not having to consider claiming benefits.318 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Clara Paillard

Fight the Law Commission plan to gag whistle blowers and the pressIt is threat to democracy and the suggestions being made by the Law Commission are more in keeping with a dictatorship than a democratic country. This could stop us ever knowing about the details of deals negotiated for Brexit; police surveillance methods of legitimate protestors; the truth about underfunding of the NHS. In fact anything an unscrupulous government doesn't want the public to know about.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maggie Hamilton

Make Land of Hope and Glory Englands National anthemEngland is one nations of the home nations. God save the Queen applies to all nations under the United Kingdom. It seems strange that the other nations should have to sing two anthems. When we compete as team GB/ British Lions etc then God save the Queen is appropriate. When competing as England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland it is not.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kevin Ridgeon

Stop the Home Office refusing holiday visas for family visits to the UK without good reason.In my wife's case: My wife’s elderly retired parents have been refused entry to the United Kingdom for a family holiday. My wife, is from the Philippines she has a British Passport and has been resident in the UK for a period approaching 10 years, we have been married for the same period. We have paid the application process fees to the Home Office fees amounting to hundreds of pounds, this fee is non-returnable. We have more than sufficient funds in the bank, we are financing the return airfare together with all other expenses, the Home Office have my bank statements, my bank account has never been over-drawn in the past 50 years. I am a retired licensed debt counsellor and finance broker; my credit rating is irrefutably shown as being at the highest possible level. Amongst other shameful, fatuous and humiliating reasons for entry refusal is: 1. They are not satisfied with my wife’s immigration status although she has a British Passport! 2. They are not satisfied that we will not resort to the use of public funds. 3. My wife’s father is unemployed, yes of course he is, he’s retired. 4. Quote from the refusal: I am not satisfied you have shown that your ties to Philippines (or elsewhere) are sufficient incentive to leave the UK at the end of your proposed visit. On balance of probabilities, I am therefore not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a visitor or will to leave the UK after a limited period. Your application for a visit visa is refused under paragraph V4.2. Why would they want to live here, the Home Office acknowledge they live in a mortgage free house in the Philippines which we purchased for them to live in. 5. Mine and my wife’s bank balance fluctuates, why would they not? We run a business, of course it fluctuates, but it's always thousands of pounds in credit, they know that, because they have originals of bank statements and savings accounts. Isn’t about time the Home Office stopped issuing blanket holiday visa refusals in respect of British citizens married to wives with British passports without good reason and then compounding the humiliation by expecting us to pay more fees to appeal their absurdly unsound and injudicious decisions.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Geoff Day

Stop CETA the new TTIPCETA is the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement . It is very similar to TTIP. Part of it is the Investor Court System which is the same as the ISDS which will enable corporations to sue governments if they pass any laws that the corporation regards as infringing on any expected profits. the British European Committee B voted not to have an open debate in parliament about it so our only hope now is to persuade our MEPs to vote against it . Tufts University has performed a study which concludes that if CETA is approved it will lead to job losses, rising unemployment and inequality and the NHS will be threatened as Britain has not ring fenced it, as Germany has done for it's health service.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Mitchell Wood

Voting for younger peopleTake the EU referendum for example. Many older adults voted to leave the EU, but the people who will be affected in the future by these changes didn't get a say in what happened. If the leaving the EU has its difficulties, then the younger people will be affected. That is why I want you to sign this petition.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Froggitt
