When a company increases its value by growing its business organically it is through the joint efforts of its workforce and shareholders.  Profits reinvested are wages forgone by the workforce as well as dividends forgone by shareholders; moreover customer goodwill is created and sustained by the workforce. But at present only existing shareholders profit from a gain in company value and the contribution of the workforce is unrecognised. A modest annual grant of shares to all employees would redress this injustice.

We call for an assurance from Northern Rail that there will be no fare increase till 2018. In August 2016, an off-peak return from Rochdale to Manchester was £4.30, on September 3rd 2016 it increased to £4.90 and in January 2017 - it went up again to £5.40. On average, fares have risen by 2.3% - considerably higher than inflation. Councillor Andy Kelly and local Liberal Democrats will present this to Northern Rail and Transport for Greater Manchester at the end of February. Please sign and send a clear message that we will not accept any fare increases till AT LEAST January 2018.

NPOWER a German company known as RWE Npower have consistently persecuted bullied and destroyed the health and happiness of "millions" of UK customers and their families.

Traffic from a Balkerne Hill, a major two lane arterial road, will be temporarily diverted through our narrow residential streets for up to 6 months. This is unnecessary and will create huge new traffic flows through residential streets, causing air and noise pollution, traffic gridlock, and pedestrian hazards. Residents have not been properly consulted by Essex County Council which should listen to our reasonable and legitimate concerns. Your road or street could be next! Help petition both: (i) Essex County Council - to stop the traffic diversion and consult with local residents, and (ii) Colchester Borough Council - to stand up to the County Council on behalf of Colchester residents.

It would save people money,freeview should mean just that-free

- Why kick a man when he is down? - I know from direct experience that money given to John, a street-sitter, was spent on food. We have become friends. Maybe sometimes money given can be misspent but let's give people the benefit of the doubt. Glass half full ...Better to take the risk of being foolish rather than cynical. - 'There, but for the Grace of God, go I'. I have met men who have held responsible well-paid jobs and then been reduced to street-sitting by adverse circumstances such as marital violence, debt etc. Street-sitters remind us of the fragility of our lives.

The idea of fining those who already have so little, that they are forced to sleep out in the cold or ask for food and money is a cruel and heartless act. This is attacking vulnerable people and does not resolving the issues homeless people face. Other campaigns have successfully stopped other councils from imposing similar fines.

The idea of fining those who already have so little is crazy, that they are forced to sleep out in the cold and ask for food or money is an indictment of our current system. We HAVE to provide shelter, care and support for those who want it. Could we please stop attacking vulnerable people and do something to resolve the issues of homeless people? We need Swindon Borough Council to focus on resolving the housing issues of the homeless people and families in Swindon - NOT fine those people who have nowhere else to go. This campaign is not politically motivate, it is about reaching out to our fellow human beings, it is about FEELING something for those who live on the streets of our community, it is about asking our local councillors to stop clearing the streets and start helping those who need it most. Please find it in your hearts to support this campaign – there for the grace of God……

With homelessness increasing across the UK and Northampton we should be dealing with the causes and spending money providing shelter, food and helping folks out of this situation. People asking for food and money are usually in need of society's help not punishment. People not in this situation are damn lucky though with societies safety nets being burnt by this government we may be far from being homeless or in need, so please support this petition.

It is long period of time and it is extremely unfair with them to leave the country. It will be difficult for them to restart their education in a different environment. Mostly they do not know the language, If they can speak but it should keep in mind , it is not only speaking necessary to carry on study in THEIR HOME country, they also need read and write the same language which home office totally ignore IN THEIR DECISIONS. Mostly home office remix the culture and religious practice, but these are the two different things. The children can not find the same surrounding environment, where they have brought up and have spent their seven years of life. So to expect reasonable for them to leave the country after 7 years is unfair. Where a family with a child or children who have lived in the UK for 7 years or more apply for leave to remain on the basis of paragraph 276ADE(1)(iv), there is an increasingly strong argument that the applications should normally be granted if the period of residence is satisfied and there is no bad behaviour by the applicants, they are well settled and integrated and therefore it would not be reasonable for the child or children to have to start over with their life again in another country.

An Eco-Apocolypse in Malaysia and Indonesia will see Orangutans and hundreds of other species wiped-out over the next decade. Orangutans are one of our closest relatives, similar in intellect to a 5-6 year-old human child. Yet every day they are burned alive, hacked to death by machete, or crushed by machinery to clear rainforest to produce Palm Oil. This is all just to make cheaper food, cosmetics, detergents, and other products, for us to consume. Without action the production of Palm oil will wipe-out Orangutans within 5-10 years and Sumatran tigers within 3 years. Even 'sustainable' palm oil producers are reputed by experts to use ruthless practices which are devastating Orangutans and other animal species. The buck cannot be passed to consumers to solve this eco-disaster by avoiding products containing Palm Oil. With around half of all household products containing Palm Oil it is simply not possible for consumers to shop ethically on this issue on a meaningful scale. Key facts: - Over 90% of Orangutan habitat has been destroyed in the last 20 years - 1,000 - 5,000 Orangutans die each year (50,000 have died in the last 20 years) due to deforestation for Palm Oil - Every hour an area of rainforest the size of 300 football fields is cleared to produce Palm Oil - Palm Oil is the most used vegetable oil in the world, largely due to its cheap production There are more sustainable alternatives to Palm Oil, such as Rapeseed. But with no real pressure on companies to use sustainable vegetable oils, Palm Oil consumption is set to have doubled by 2020, compared to 2010. If you don't want to use products that will lead to a mass-animal extinction please consider signing our petition and sharing it with your friends. Please lend the Orangutans and other vulnerable species your support....

The council, for some bizarre reason is seeking to fine the homeless. Not only will the homeless have no money, they will also have no fixed abode! Far rather the Council needs to open a new hostel for the homeless. They could fund it with the 10.5 million pounds they gave to Northampton Football club Directors - they need to get this back!
