Ban the Peeple appHaving been on the end of unwarranted and false verbal and written abuse by an individual with little or no recourse to redress, it seems reprehensible to me to allow unproven negative comments and views to be posted in such a way.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ann Moore

Stop the RIGHT TO BUY!To house those on low, minimum wages. Let us break this English notion of home ownership. Promoting "Thatcher's" edict of house ownership is to saddle poor people with unaffordable morgages to keep them screwed down so as not to cause trouble. Keeping the lower classes in debt stops industrial action and allows the population to be more manageable.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Long

Is assassination by the UK Government legal?The Ministry of Defence has sought out and killed some (erstwhile) UK citizens in the Middle East, based on intelligence that, from there, they were actively planning terrorist outrages in the UK. But is that legal and desirable? Targetted killing may perhaps be justified in times of war, especially when the evidence is compelling. Are we at war? But is it worrying that the MoD may have taken steps which breach, or at least weaken, UK legal rights for everyone? The UK did not, for instance, assassinate Saddam Hussein, even though we were at war with Iraq. We support fair trials, eg at the Hague, rather than arbitrary execution, of people who appear to give every evidence of wrong-doing .. but is it conceivable that some apparent traitors in ISIS have been acting under duress? The death penalty has been withdrawn, even for traitors, in the UK. So we would like Mr Gove to clarify a) whether the death penalty has been brought back for treason, b) whether treason can be proven without a trial (even in absentia), c) whether the prevention of harm makes targetted assassination legal (overseas or at home), d) whether assassination of an erstwhile or current UK citizen is legal in any circumstances, and e) whether the MoD has broken any British or other laws in seeking out and killing particular people (including current, or erstwhile, UK citizens) in Syria and the Middle East , without any form of trial,?5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Davis

LondonNo Support for British Expats in ThailandThe Consul in Chiang Mai, Thailand was recently closed. There is a sizable British community in and around Chiang Mai numbering thousands and we get no support. I recently renewed my son's passport and had to travel to Bangkok twice - once to apply for and once to collect it. It cost me £336.50 in air fares and hotel bills on top of the £72 for the passport itself and it can take up to 6 weeks. In contrast, my wife is Japanese; she applied at the local consulate and got a new passport in less than a week. In my capacity as a volunteer policeman I recently helped a German national whose passport was stolen. She had a replacement within 10 days. I have written to my MP and was initially ignored, so I wrote to the Home Secretary about the costs involved in getting a new passport and the Foreign Secretary about the abysmal level of service abroad. Neither has replied, instead delegating a response to a member of the British Consulate in Bangkok. This lady has not answered ANY of the questions I asked and instead wrote a lot of gobbledegook tripe about how centralizing services was giving better services. It is, of course, rubbish and the key points: cost and inconvenience were not even mentioned.112 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Keith Marshall

Save the NHSSave the NHS We all need the NHS. The doctors and nurses we rely on are at breaking point, we all know how desperately short of money the service is. Lottery money could save the problem easily. Don't let the government run it into the ground as an excuse to sell it off.36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ann Craig

Ealing Council become dementia friendly.As carer a Social event once a month which includes Chair Yoga is very important for those we care for and the cares. There are not many things we can both take part in. Memory Lane was only from 2 to 5 pm on a Saturday once a month. We were able to talk to other carers have an hour of Chair Yoga followed by some sandwiches . Then we were able to sing along to live music. A pleasant afternoon.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ethel Whelan
