It is not necessary to control crowds by the use of horses to intimidate them. The horses are in danger as are the humans in the crowd and the riders. There are cheaper and more efficient and more humane methods available. Horses should not be put in dangerous situations.

1. It's only November . 2. It is repetitive rubbish that we have all heard a million times before and should be confined to the week before the 'big day', if at all, then binned. 3. It is designed to make you go deliberately insane and start panic buying cheap random junk for people you don't see very often or don't like. . 4. Cliff Richard . 5. The same song follows you around all day, whatever store you go into. You can't get away from it. 6. And the Christmas queues - you just can't escape quickly. Having your toe nails ripped out would be preferable. 7. Slade 8. Those bells, those bloomin' bells, they're in my head, I can't rid of them. Kill me now.

The deliberations in Westminster are becoming increasingly irrelevant to the north of England. The northern cities feel far greater affinity with their Scottish counterparts such as Glasgow and Edinburgh than with the ideologies of the London-centric south. The needs and challenges of the north cannot be understood by the endless parade of old Etonions lining the frontbenches of the House of Commons. The north of England should join the newly independent Scotland and regain control over its own destiny. We, the people of the north, demand that in the event that Scotland becomes independent the border between England and the New Scotland be drawn along a line that runs between the River Dee and the mouth of The Humber (see map). #TakeUsWithYouScotland

It is important because there are so many people that require European Portuguese in google translate. At present Google only offer Brazilian Portuguese on this app, I am learning European Portuguese and have read many comments asking why there is nothing available to help their studies, only Brazilian which has many differences to Continental Portuguese - Come on google make this available!

Every Child a Lifesaver is based around a crucial goal: to ensure that all children get the chance to learn first aid in schools. The Emergency First Aid Education Bill, put forward by Teresa Pearce MP and requiring all state funded secondary schools in England teach first aid, would make that happen. Too many people suffer needlessly when first aid skills could have helped and sadly only 24% of secondary schools currently teach first aid. By making first aid mandatory in all state-funded secondary schools through the Bill, can we create a generation that are equipped with the skills and confidence to step forward.

because they shouldn't be privatized for personal profit and the risk of public crime rising, and police brutality rising due to more armed police force on the streets.

This means local people with local knowledge,there to help when the NEED arises ! Sign this petition to demonstrate the strength of feeling AGAINST a business whose only care is "how much profit"can we make ? G4S have proven,on more than one occasion that they are not a "fit and proper" business to be trusted.

I'm not talking about a retest, just an assessment to find potentially dangerous drivers. The standard of driving in this country is nothing short of abysmal at times and it can't all be blamed on new and inexperienced drivers, they are not taught to drive as bad as some of the people that are on the road at the moment.

G4S are a shady company trying to muscle in on the public sector and have been known to give large donations to right-wing think tanks such as 'Reform', trying to further their position in the prison industry where they already run 5 prisons in the UK. In 2012 G4S were employed to provide security for the London Olympics, in which they did a poor job which resulted in the army bailing them out. costing the tax payer £1000's Among the Olympics shamble they have been in many other controversies such as u the unlawful killing of Jimmy Mubenga in 2010 and being accused of fraud allegations in relation to overcharging for for tagging criminals in England and Wales. It is vital we don't allow a incompetent company like G4S to run a service which could ultimately mean life or death for 1000's of people, it's too risky.

Our 999 emergency Control rooms are currently staffed by dedicated professional public servants, direct employees of the three emergency services, with a wealth of knowledge and experience and direct links and relationships with those first emergency responders to the scene, Police, Fire & Ambulance. Remember when G4S made such a shambles of providing security for the Olympics that the army had to bail them out? [1] Well now the same private security firm could be in charge of handling emergency 999 calls here in Northamptonshire. [2] Putting life or death decisions into their hands is a frightening prospect. Adam Simmonds, the police commissioner in charge of this decision, is elected by local people to serve us. Together we could launch a huge people-powered campaign to pressure him into rejecting this idea. At the moment, police chiefs are scoping out how the G4S takeover could work - it’s not a done deal yet. Before Adam was elected in 2012 he made a strong commitment to 38 Degrees members not to privatise police services in Northamptonshire. He said: “I have no intentions of privatising our police force and therefore I would be grateful if you would spread the word that this Candidate for PCC isn't interested in that agenda.” [3] Together we could remind Adam of his promise, and show him that local people want this privatisation off the table. People-power works.
