Labour is back on its bullshit (never left 🤡). UK citizens, please sign this petition to put pressure on the government not to enact Digital ID cards to protect our safety and privacy.
You may or may not know how much I loathe fireworks.
A baby red panda died this week in terror from the stress and fear of fireworks. A woman died a week. This is, as far as I’m concerned, a horrible way to die— just pure terror.
They’re bad for the environment.
People are literally dying. A woman was murdered when kids put one through a her letterbox and her house caught fire. One of the kids got 3 years and another 7 years. For murdering this woman.
They’re bad for people like myself who have ptsd, elderly, mental health issues, misophonia, audio processing disorders and neuro-spicy people who struggle with sound and explosions. I get several anxiety attacks a year from these horrible things.
They’re dangerous— people often end up in a&e when something goes wrong.
In my area, it’s not just once or twice a year, but dozens if times a year— especially between mid Oct - early January. And random summer nights when they go off for no reason. Sometimes they’re done literally on the street behind me in a residential area.
In some areas, they can start fires. With climate change and higher temperatures, there’s a higher chance of wooded areas and dry spaces catching fire.
They are dangerous to wildlife. That poor little panda died in terror— and that’s just one we know about.
They torment households pets. My dog is not the only one crying in fear every time they go off. He throws himself under the bed, or just hides under the blankets, crying. I have a scar on my neck from when he accidentally scratched me, clinging to me in fear a couple years ago. Every dog I met in my area is panting and terrified from the fireworks when they are going off. It’s horrific and cruel.
They can make silent fireworks. Or better still, they can use light shows, which are reusable, have no risk of injury or death to anyone, and no impact on wildlife, environment or pets.
There’s no point contacting the police because there are no open civilian areas during the night, and sometimes they’ll just randomly set the fireworks off at 0200. I have tried to report them multiple times. Nothing.
There are multiple petitions to sign to control the sale and use of fireworks. Please consider signing or sharing. If you think that poor wee panda was the only creature cowering in fear, you’re wrong.
Please consider signing these petitions to the to limit the use of fireworks. Personally, I think they should be banned, but I’ll take what I can get.
Three-month-old Roxie choked on her own vomit as fireworks were being set off across Edinburgh on Bonfire Night.
Several petitions to stop this:
Fireworks killed our mum, Josephine Smith.
Her home was attacked using fireworks. We believe the use of fireworks after sale to the public

Saw a post talking about a basic universal income and it got me wondering about whether there's an active UK government petition for it... Apparently there is!
We want the Government to introduce a Universal Basic Income set at a high enough level to secure everyone's right to a basic standard of li
Thought I'd might as well post it since I found it on the off chance it can wrack the signatures numbers on it up. They're pretty low at the moment, but it's running until the 24th of March 2024 so there's time. The government legally have to respond to and debate it if it gets enough signatures so its worth a shot, right?
Boris Johnson has expressed plans to display calorie counts on all UK menus. This will potentially be incredibly harmful to people's attitudes towards food and people with existing eating disorders.
Here are some petitions calling for the plans to be stopped:
#CurbTheCount AND Stop Calories being displayed on menus!
PM Boris Johnson recently promoted the idea of including calorie counts on restaurant menus to "tackle obesity". We, the undersigned, are as
