Please note that Politicians are NOT CRB CHECKED! Imagine if they were - ppeple such as Harman would not be allowed to work!! She can hit and run and not get prosecuted! The Police can kill somone and get away with it. I would like to ask why there is one law for us and another for them. They have taken millions from this scam. They will never be CRB checked as they do not have the money to build more prisons and lets face it we would need at least two prisons for the Labaour party, one for the Concervatives, one for the Lib dems and at least one for the senile judges and the Police. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/719758#comment_45889 This is yet a further attack on those who seek to provide even a modest pension for themselves. I think you will find that we have all had enough of Government destroying final salary pensions schemes & the reaction against this policy will hopefully make you think again - which I urge you to do. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/578901#comment_45849 This scheme has given some financial support to our listed places of worship in recent years. At St Mary's Church, Denby, Derbyshire, ALL of the lead on our roof was stolen over the period from mid Feb to early April this year. Eccliastical Insurance has introduced a max claim limit of £5000 for metal thefts - it has cost more than this just to make the roof watertight with felt. Being Grade 1 Listed, it is not clear that permssion will be forthcoming to use any other material, so we may be forced to re-install what will be uninsurable lead (estimated cost £30,000). With very small financial reserves available to us, the VAT scheme at least provides a little support for situations such as ours. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/299795#comment_45774 i am againsttax flight bands increase nov 2010 the rise of £50 to £150 on flight to caribbean http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/559503#comment_45723 "Marion is absolutely right.Adoption is an inhumane practice. It is a social experiment that has failed. It only helps and benefits people who adopt, not vunerable mothers and their babies.Separation of mother and child cause life-long,severe mental health and physical ailments to both the mother and the child who is subsequently adopted. Often times you do not hear about these injuries because mothers are so severely traumatized, and their children grow up confused and feeling obligated to those who supposedly "rescued" them. There are humane alternatives to adoption such as helping ALL mothers keep their babies regardless of their age, income and/or marital status. Next would be kinship care whereby the child would be taken in and raised by the next of kin and those people would have first legal right.Finally, and only in extreme cases would legal guardianship which would protect the child's original name and forever access for them to their natural family members and information. Mothers especially of BabyScoopEra have been horribly traumatized by the enforced removal of their babies simply because THEY WERE NOT MARRIED. See www.babyscoopera.com Today these practises still occur but are covered up by supposed "open" adoptions which usually close soon after the mother signs the "agreement." Those agreements are not legally enforceable by her but she is not told this till way to late. Karen.W.Buterbaugh. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/559503#comment_45699 ADOTION SHOULD NEVER BE AN OPTION. FAMILY PRESERVATION,ENRICHES A NATION. There is world wide research,by the world's top adoption psychologists,and therapists,and there is ongoing research in the field of adoption grief and loss,proving the HOLOCAUST of pain and misery, adoption becomes,to the mother and child, separated through adoption. If not dealt with timeously, four stages of trauma,then fracture, culminating in fragmentation of the psyche occurs,both of mother and child, this becomes a bottomless abyss of sorrow. Patterns appears paralleling mothers and their lost children. Unreported cases of self destruction ensue, drugs, alcohol dependency, and most tragic of all SUICIDES. Medical records,are the bona fide proof of this travesty. If a child needs to be separated from parents,then legal guardianship,is in the best intrests of the child,God allows you to be nurturing parents,through these separated years. Will governments and churches wake up to this HOLOCAUST IN OUR MIDST. WILL CHURCHES, and SOCIAL SERVICES, who ARE NOT professionals in the field of adoption, who have absolutely no acumen, in the field of family separation, severed forever due to adoption. LEAVE IT TO THE PROFESSIONALS. LISTEN TO THE MOTHERS, FATHERS, AND OUR LOST CHILDREN, SEPARATED 20/30/30/50/ DUE TO THE CRUEL ACT OF ADOPTION. PSYCHOLOGICAL,and PYCHIATRIC RESEARCH, outcome of adoption grief and loss,is available world wide on this subject. YET STILL TODAY IN THE U.K WE HAVE FORCED ADOPTION. COERCION. UNINFORMED CHOICE, WHICH IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE,WHEN THIS RESEARCH MATERIAL IS AVAILABLE. GOVERNMENTS, WAKE UP TO THE TRUE COST OF ADOPTION. MENTAL HEALTH AND PHYSICAL HEALTH, costing billions due to UNRESOLVED GRIEF AND LOSS. Introduce parenting skills in early years curriculum, carry it through primary, make it cumpulsary in secondary. Mentoring, and sponsoring,is the way ahead,take a leaf from many of the greats in passed history,good practice. Dr. Kate Waller Barrett. Every child born into this world, is a gift from God,every child born into the world, is a gift to the country born into, every child born into this world, enriches the community born into, every child born into the world, is a living treasure to the family born into. Every child has a GOD GIVEN, inalienable right to be love and cared for by THEIR NATURAL PARENTS.

We have regular flooding in this area, with no mains sewerage or gas, and frequent electricity cuts. Look after the present residents as a first priority please. We do not want a prison in our vicinity and our limited facilities could not cope with one. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/626191#comment_45584 I believe the closed season is outdated and should be abolished as it has now been proved that the closure does not help the fish breeding program http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/607109#comment_45582 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/533301#comment_45578 We are holding a protest at 10 Downing Street on May 5th between 11 and 4pm. This is in response to the out right refusal to look at CCSVI as a viable treatment. Come an join us and spread the news http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=108227269211224 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/438393#comment_45570 Why fix it if it is not broke as the old saying goes. Moving HMS Sultan is yet another stupid idea of an Mod that cannot get anything right, this will be another cock up at horrendous cost for the poor taxpayer, but will most probably lead to hefty bonuses for the idiots robbing Gosport of yet another means of employment to its residents. hope the Defence Review ditches the idea. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/438393#comment_45569 I would just like to add my support to all the other comments, our navel heritage and the jobs that would be lost. Why mend something that is not broken! http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/438393#comment_45568 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/438393#comment_45565 This area is home to many Navy families.I see no reason for a move which would involve great expense which we can ill afford. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/438393#comment_45564 What is the economic logic in moving HMS Sultan to Wales after the Air and Naval Engineering Schools have been combined in HMS Sultan at great expense to the taxpayer.It is not beyond the realms of posibility the the Sultan site will go the way of Royal Hospital Haslar and be given away by the MOD to be developed for housing which Gosport can well do without. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/635033#comment_45561 Animal Welfare issues are very important and anybody that has any understanding and feeling for Livestock will know that to get the best they are issues that must not be ignored however, as important, IF NOT MORE IMPORTANT, are QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES FOR HUMANS and it seems that this horrendous proposal fails to take sufficient account of that. We do not need airy fairy possibilities but CONCRETE GUARANTEES which I think most unlikely and on that basis alone this scheme must be refused. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/607118#comment_45555 This will destoy large parts of The Chilterns which is an area of outstandingnatural beauty. The noise of these trains will be deafening to the immediate surrounding area and destroy the lives of people living in the adjacent towns and will be heard for miles around having a detrimental affect on the habitat and lives of people, animals and birds in the area. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/628552#comment_45551 this will put an end to sharing accomaodation http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/628552#comment_45545 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/585835#comment_45513 This must not be allowed as it will be on Green Belt land,240 trees will be felled ,our roads are alredy far too busy, it would create even more surface water with nowhere to go , the sewerage works can,t cope after heavy rain now,house prices would fall. there are many other more suitable brown field sites available. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/578901#comment_45512 I know that times are hard economically however our churches are important National Heritages. It is difficult enough to fund repairs as costs are high. By scrapping the grant scheme it will almost certainly mean thet more of our national heritage will fall into disrepair. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/200005#comment_45484 I am lost for words at the injustice of this! http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/585835#comment_45470 This must not be allowed to happen as the village of Wickford/Rundwell does not have the infrastructure to cope with to visitors or the prisoners. Our sewerage is currently over 100% capacity how is it going to cope with this as well as the additional building which the government has allowed tohappen. Our electricity frequently has power cuts. Our roads are jammed to capacity at rush hour. This type of development must be put where escaped prisoners would find it hard to get transport. Out on the Dengie Peninsular would be a good idea. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/590055#comment_45461 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/578901#comment_45457 I wish to petition the Govenment to renew the VAT reclaim scheme for Listed Places of Worship indefinately http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/590055#comment_45441 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/590055#comment_45440 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/590055#comment_45439 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/590055#comment_45438 To close this pool would be disgrace. This is a late mining community that has been forgotten in any government funding. the swimming pool is the only thing that we have left (the lesiure centre was moved to Blidworth.) This pool is used by many schools and has recently been updated. This would be a scandalous waste of money. I am a Grandmother and great grandmother and have children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren ,who use this pool. I use it myself (I have severe arthiritis) I also learned t swim here. Please do not take this away from us. If you do would you please give us a good reason for doing so,one that makes good sense. sylvia randall http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/590055#comment_45432 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/590055#comment_45429 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/559503#comment_45401 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/552148#comment_45385 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/552148#comment_45373 Support and fist class health care is needed to make sure that anybody with MS has the right to lead a full life with no limitations. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/552148#comment_45372 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_45371 This persistent problem seems to be a disease among most television producers. Blatant bombarding of the viewer with junk music over dialogue, conversations, live conversations and over graphics on the screen. What is desperately needed is an invention which will give the viewer real control over whether they want to suffer the music or not. Hitting the mute button is not the answer. I would be happy to pay for the real choice so that I can have the commentary and delete the music. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/200005#comment_45369 I'm Sorry . but this is utter rubbish and a lie I suggest you let everyone you told and everyone who told you to check something like the hoax-slayer website BEFORE they send this sort of stuff.. saves embarrassment later and your credability being trashed. hoax-slayer.com/jamie-bulger-email-petition.html From WIKIPEDIA.. James Bulger Page en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Bulger ...In August 2009 Australia's Seven Network used real footage of the abduction to promote its police show City Homicide. The use of the footage was criticized by James's mother and Seven apologised.[28] A tie in with this saw the Sunrise anchors asking the rhetorical question of whether the killers were now living in Australia. When the question was answered on the 24 August 2009 edition, they used one minute and seven seconds to relate the government's two line denial that they had been settled in the country.[29].... snopes.com/politics/crime/bulger.asp.. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/558649#comment_45367 This Act does nothing for Animal Welfare http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/220174#comment_45366 I can't see No Win No Fee being scrapped anytime soon. It gives the general public easy access to legal protection in circumstances where they should be entitled to compensation. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/430424#comment_45365 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_45355 The following is a reply I have received from the BBC re my complaints about 'background music etc' "I understand you're concerned the background music in this programme was loud and intrusive and you feel this is a continuing issue for many of our viewers. Having read through your previous correspondence, I can see that you've raised similar concerns in the past however there's little I can add to what my colleague Stuart has already explained; this is an issue common to the broadcasting industry as a whole, but nevertheless one which we take seriously as naturally we want all of our audience to fully enjoy our programmes. To this end your feedback on the subject is very much appreciated." If they know it is a problem common to the industry why not do something about it, with the BBC leading the way? My reply has been to refer them to this web site and state that platitudes get nowhere ACTION does. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/506830#comment_45353 http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_45349 I agree with the above comments re intrusive noise on all manner of TV programmes. I have written to both BBC & ITV and the reply is generally that they have advised producers of peoples comments but they leave it to the individuals. In this age of digital technology, as the 'music' etc is added later why cannot the viewer have control and be able to select not to 'hear' the 'music'. We have tried adjusting our TV to 'speech' etc as advised by the BBC/ITV to no avail. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/506830#comment_45343 we must act. http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/548356#comment_45326 how rude http://www.thegovernmentsays.com/comments/191795#comment_45313 Hate it hate it ... just sat through four weeks of Kirsty Young's documentary on the changing face of the family and gritted my teeth as there was so much annoying music, repeated images to reinforce the message and general irritation. The subject matter was interesting and did not need enhancing. Love music but it has no place in these programmes.
