The government has 'quietly' launched a public consultation with very little fanfare or publicity. With relatively few responses, they'd be justified in doing whatever they wanted to anyway. Go. Fill it in! https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/setting-the-mandate-to-nhs-england-for-2016-to-2017

By calling them Islamic State we as a country are legitimising their links to Islam. This gives a negative view of Islam to the population and fuels Islamaphobia. It allows manipulation of the public by right wing political parties and press to further their agenda. It helps in the radicalisation of disenfranchised youths by the ties the name has with the community and on reflection glamourises the call to arms. Remember that most of the young people who are radicalised are young males who feel isolated and bow to peer pressure (2 of the Paris attackers were until 6 weeks ago running bars. Hardly strict followers of Islam). I want my baby to grow up in a society where we look at people who have differences with intrigue and not fear.

The council plans to cut £2.5million from the youth service budget leaving less than one million to work with some of the most disadvantaged young people in London. We have 13 youth projects in the voluntary sector which could suffer as well as 8 youth centres as part of this 73% cuts. What will be left for young people in this Borough? The council promised not to cut front line services yet this is being proposed. We would also lose experienced and specialist workers in the sector as the services would transfer to the Environment and Leisure department. This will de-professionalise and de-skill professional youth workers leaving little to no varied provision. They are planning to delete ALL 122 full and part time jobs and replacing them with 42 part time posts. Southwark News report: 19.11.15 Richard Taylor, founder of the Damilola Taylor Centre after his ten-year-old son was killed on the Peckham estate, said this was no time to cut youth services as serious knife crime continued to blight the borough. “Bearing in mind the level of killing, stabbing and violence, this is not the right time. This is the wrong approach and a bad decision for the council. As Jeremy Corbyn has said 'austerity is a political choice'. Southwark must not abandon young people while sitting on millions of pounds of reserves which can be used to support the local community along with the fight to get more money from central government. Southwark Trades Council will be campaigning with the local government unions and community to stop these cuts. We will be lobbying the Council Assembly and have asked for a deputation at the Cabinet on Wednesday 24th November. Please join us.

This is important because it seems that they pick and choose when they want to work for us and when they have something better to do. For example the Climate Change debate which happened on the day I created this petition. It had a 10% attendance level. When they debated their own wages there was a full house. In any other workplace we would all be facing disciplinary action if we decided to pick and choose when to turn up to work. Attendance related pay would ensure that they can be bothered to do the job they said they would do when asking for our votes once every five years.

I would like the BBC to acknowledge the power of words to unify or divide. Most members of the public are now familiar with the term Daesh and know that it is the same as Isis but it does not acknowledge any link to correct Islamic practice. At a time when Daesh is using propaganda to drive a wedge between Muslims and Non-Muslims, the BBC has to be aware of the affects of the choices of its words and unfortunately there is no neutral word in this circumstance.

I have been homeless for a few years myself, I have suffered along with many other homeless people in the city and as a Brightonian myself should not be in position where I could potentially be on the streets by Christmas. The are vulnerable people out there on the streets a nightly basis, suffering from mental illness, substance abuse and poor health, we walk past these on a daily basis along western road, but we need to help them and myself. Having a stable home with a secure tenancy will help to change peoples lives, we can save money on public services by rehabilitating people and start to put right the wrongs of the past. There obviously has to be a master plan for housing, on average since 1991 the council have only built 100 homes a year, this is unacceptable. If you live the in the City you will understand, rents are too high, wages aren't enough to keep up with ever increasing living costs its just not right. The council will have money on housing benefit payments paid to private landlords. Please help the cities homeless by signing the petition today. Thank you

This is very important for the humanity. Peace will end the suffering of millions of people in the world and create stability everywhere and allow the earth to flourish. There will not be need to kill or be killed every one's life matter, rather than profit of weapons manufacturers. Peace and abolishing the use of weapons including nuclear will protect the climate of the earth as well. Interference of the UK in wars is not bringing any good to anyone but the weapon trade and we do not want to sacrifice our children and kill people for this ugly business.

This petition is important as it will widely help disabled people live their life independently and efficiently. 18,000 people with high support needs relied on the fund and said it "transformed their life". The fund has recently been closed resulting in changing peoples lives greatly in a negative way. This petition may contribute towards re-opening the independent living fund even if it is a small difference. Please take a couple of minutes out of your time to sign up for this campaign. It will be greatly appreciated :)

To plead to the Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings.

Solidarity with France

So many services are under threat and not always from an inability to fund, but more often from an ideological battle where money is wasted on vanity projects the public never asked for. From Libraries, Museums, to Respite Services ... there is a tendency for people to feel their single issue is more important than another, but all have their own importance, so this is a petition to include some issues not already covered by individual campaigns against a common threat to our daily lives.
