  • Give Drivers An Instant Ban Before Court

    An appeal from Christina… Please support #TomsLaw 🙏

    The pictures below are of me and my partner Tom. Tom showed me what love is and everyday made me feel loved and special. We were planning our future and were excited ❤️

    On the 23rd February 2019 Tom collected his friends as they went for a groomsman suit fitting in Bristol. Tom was super excited about being asked to be groomsman for his best friend’s. They had a lovely time and travelled home safely. Tom and his friends hadn’t seen eachother very much as they were all working long hours. They had a few drinks, I offered to pick them up and drop them home but Tom didn’t want to wake me as I had work early in the morning. He was always so thoughtful.
    Tom then took a taxi home.
    In the early hours of 24th February 2019 Tom was dropped off and was speaking to a taxi driver when a drunk driver came along and hit Tom leaving Tom fatally Injured in the middle of the road. The driver didn’t stop or even slow down and continued driving for over 30 miles before burning the car out he stole. He didn’t even stop to offer Tom any help or know how injured Tom was.
    A witness tried to help Tom and called him an ambulance. He was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead when he arrived. Me and Tom’s family then received the dreaded knock at the door in the early hours from police officers telling us Tom was never coming home 💔 it was like someone just ripped our hearts out. The thought of never being able to speak, cuddle or having a day with Tom is truly heart breaking.
    Tom’s killer was handed in. With every thing we had to take in, and preparing Tom’s funeral, and court attendances then being told his killer can’t be immediately banned from driving as only a court can do this.
    This made it even harder to know our world had been ripped apart but his killer could carry on like normal until court bans him.
    Due to the length of time it took to conduct the investigation etc Tom’s killer wasn’t banned from driving until 11 months after he killed Tom. People think this is law already but it’s not. We still have coroner’s court to go to yet. Everyday we wake up to Tom not being here. Tom will never be forgotten and lives on in our memories however much we wish for him to be here in person.

    This is why we have now started a government petition for Tom’s Law.
    Tom’s Law is to give police officers the power to suspend a driving licence immediately if a person fails a roadside breath/Drug test or has dashcam footage of a dangerous driver until an offender attends court. This can then be for a court to decide if a ban continues or stops.

    We are doing this in memory of Tom and for anyone else who has lost someone to a drunk, drugged or dangerous driver

    We need to reach 100,000 signatures for the government to debate this in parliament. Please help us by signing and sharing as this could save lives🙏

  • Remove Amber Heard From Aquaman 2

    Amber Heard has been exposed as a domestic abuser by Johnny Depp. In his $50 million lawsuit, Johnny Depp describes many incidents of domestic abuse that he suffered at the hands of his (then) wife Amber Heard, including one incident where she punched him twice in the face and another where she shattered his finger with a vodka bottle, and his finger had to be surgically reattached. He will bear the scar from that for the rest of his life. 

    Also, Amber Heard was arrested in 2009 for abusing a former domestic partner, Tasya Van Ree, demonstrating a repeated pattern of abuse by Amber Heard.

    Since Heard’s divorce from Johnny Depp, she has systematically crusaded to ruin Depp in Hollywood, repeating multiple accounts of fake incidents in which she had actually abused Johnny Depp, but lied and created false accounts of him being the abuser. About the incident during which she shattered the bones in Johnny Depp’s finger and nearly severed it, causing Depp to require surgery to reattach and repair it, Heard presented a false story claiming that he cut off his finger himself, dipped it in paint and scrawled obscenities all over the walls. 

    Likewise, Heard recounts fabricated incidents of Johnny Depp hitting her in the face when she had, in fact, punched him. Though staff and neighbors in the building where she lived reported seeing no marks on her face in the hours and days after she says Johnny Depp hit her, yet she appeared in court six (6) days later with bruises on her face, asking for a temporary restraining order, which was granted. Photos of Heard from the very next day show her full face, without makeup, and not a single bruise.

    As Amber Heard is a known and proven domestic abuser, Warner Brothers and DC Entertainment should and must remove Heard from their Aquaman 2 film project. They must not ignore the suffering of Heard’s victims, and must not glamorize a domestic abuser. 

    Men are victims of domestic abuse, just like women. This must be recognized, and action must be taken to prevent a known abuser from being celebrated within the entertainment industry.

    Do the right thing. Remove Amber Heard from Aquaman 2.

  • If You Kill An Unborn Child You Cannot Be Charged

    Jamies Bill:

    Our aim is to put a legislation into place or change the child destruction act (1929) that was made regarding backstreet abortions that used to take place, in the eyes of the law your child does not count as a victim of any crime unless your pregnancy has passed the 24 week gestation period, this means if you kill an unborn child you cannot be charged with the murder of that child, you cannot be charged with assaulting an unborn child.

    Many suffers of domestic abuse and those who have been assaulted have had premature labour induced as a result of this, premature labour carries many risks in itself however the perpetrator who committed this crime will not be charged with any extra assault charges or murder if the incident that took place happened before the 24 week mark, morally i know many will disagree with this however in the eyes of the law your child is not a person yet and therefore the perpetrator has not committed any offence by killing it and the only charges they will carry are those committed against the mother of the child.

    The law doesn’t see your child as a person until 24 weeks. A childs heart starts beating 22 days after conception, the heart beat is visible onscreen after 5 weeks, by 16 weeks you can find out the babies sex. Children should be recognised as life when their heart starts beating, the gestation time stated in the law should be moved to 16-18 weeks as that is when a baby stops being an “it” and starts becoming a “he” or a “she” this is when babies start becoming an individual and so this is when babies should be recognised as life. A new legislation needs to be put into place to protect those lives that can not yet protect themselves. So many mothers don’t get the privilege of raising the child that grew inside them due to no fault of their own, its a privilege every mother deserves and yet not every one gets to have.

    Here in the UK we do not yet have a law that covers crimes against unborn children before 24 weeks, the “unborn victims of violence act” under American law recognised unborn babies as victims of homicide at ANY stage of development not just 24 weeks and onwards. A similar legislation practiced by 38 states called “foeticide” also recognises those under 24 weeks as victims of crime.

    The child destruction act covers abortions after 24 weeks however abortion is legal under the Abortion act 1967 so adding a further legislation similar to the “unborn victims of violence act” does not directly effect abortion laws as the act protects those against CRIMES and due to the Abortion act- abortion is not a CRIME and therefore any who have an abortion before the 24 week mark stated in the law cannot be charged with the violence act as they have not committed a crime but any abortions after the 24 week mark is an offence in itself. I strongly believe we should put this “unborn victims of violence act” into practice to protect those lives who cannot yet protect themselves, any babies who die as a result of abuse, assault or any other related crimes should be recognised in a court of law. The law should put away abusers, assaulters and anyone else who causes a death of a baby after 16-18 weeks. The most basic human right is that everyone has the right to live and so real jail time needs to be available to everyone and anyone who takes this away especially from a defenceless child, together we can ensure that justice gets served for all the babies lost whilst their mother struggled against another, child destruction shouldn’t be so lenient, a life is a life and should be recognised as such by everyone

    Change the requirements for chargeable offences under the child destruction act or add the “unborn victims of violence act” to protect the lives of the innocent.

  • You Destroyed Our Lives, We Need Justice

    To the 2 individuals who I won’t even write your names. 2 years ago today your thoughtless actions changed the once perfect world we had.

    You awoken knowing your plans for the day of driving round in an already stolen car without any care or regard for any body else. Driving around recklessly and enjoying your trips to a cafe and gym.

    Then after seeing a police car you drove through 2 red lights at 83mph in a 30mph zone! You struck 2 very important people to me. One of them was my mother in law Angela who had worked her whole life to give her family and children everything they needed. Then took early retirement to help me and Rebecca look after our children so we could try to do the same for them.

    The other one was my so small and precious 4-year-old Violet-Grace! You was going so fast she was thrown through the air to the next crossing island, which was over 50 meters away!

    You got out of the car and both stepped over her tiny broken body dying in the road not thinking about helping just about making your escape. Then someone who stopped to help thought one of you was coming back to help, but no just to get a small black bag of evidence out of the car.

    After one of you getting your passport from home you was on a flight with in 3 hours to Amsterdam to “smoke some weed and clear your head.” While the other was already getting your hair cut and making your way to Scotland.

    Violet spent nearly 36 hours fighting for her life but her injuries due to your actions where far too much for her little body to take. The next day, the 25th march Violet took her last breath in mine and her mummy’s arms! Violet saved 2 lives through Organ Donation of people she never knew or met. Violet would have saved more lives but her other organs where to badly damaged. She saved the lives of people she never knew or met. While you 2 couldn’t even stop to try to help save the lives of the 2 people you put in that situation!

    We had to say goodbye to our little superhero knowing she would become someone else superhero.

    Violet-Grace will for ever be a superhero. What you did will never be forgotten. I hope that day haunts your dreams as it does mine.

    So far 99,446 people agree your sentence was an insult. Already now you’s are nearly half way through your sentence counting down the day until you can go home. While we are still trying to pick up what pieces of our life you’d left us.

    Violet-Grace will never come home again. She never get to play with her little brother or grinds again.

    This is why this petition needs to reach the 100000 signatures so people like you get a sentence that will never be enough but will at least be some where enough time to really think about the lives you have destroyed!

  • Test For Parvovirus To Prevent Another Babies Death

    A very close friend and her Husband lost their beautiful baby girl Sophie in December 2018 due to the Parvovirus not being detected before childbirth, her 40 hours on this earth were so precious to those around her, but her chances would have been doubled and more If she could have been treated in the womb. 

    Require a routine blood test during pregnancy for ParvovirusB19

    ParvovirusB19 affects between 2500 and 5000 pregnancies each year in the EU. The disease is easily diagnosed and advances in the treatment can increase the chance of foetal survival. Currently blood tests are not routinely checked for this disease.

    Parvovirus B19 is a virus that commonly infects children. It is usually transmitted by coughing and sneezing (respiratory droplets). Hand washing is important in helping to prevent spread. School teachers, childcare workers and mothers of young children are particularly likely to be exposed to this virus as it is commonest amongst younger school age children, but everyone can be exposed to it.

    For most healthy people, Parvovirus B19 causes a mild, self-limiting illness which is followed by life-long immunity.
    The Human Parvovirus B19 is not the same Parvovirus that vets may be concerned about in pets, especially dogs, and it cannot be passed from humans to animals or vice versa.

    In women who are not immune, infection in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy can lead to serious problems for your baby before it is born. This would usually happen three to five weeks after the onset of maternal infection, but can be later

  • Stop The James Bulger Film And Oscar Nomination

    The parents of James Bulger, the two-year-old boy murdered in Liverpool in 1993, have criticised the makers of a short film about the case, which has been shortlisted for an Oscar nomination

    Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Bulger’s father Ralph said that the film maker had failed to contact him. “Not once has the maker of this film contacted me or any of James’s family about this film … It has been 26 years since my son was taken and murdered and so I have seen many documentaries and news stories about him. But I have never been so cut up and offended by something that shows so little compassion to James and his family.

    Thompson and Venables were both released in 2001 and given new identities. Venables was returned to prison in 2010 over child pornography offences; after being released in 2013, he pleaded guilty to child pornography offences in 2018, and is currently imprisoned.

    The Oscar nominations will be announced on 22 January

    This petition is to stop James Bulger movie about his murders from being shown and the Oscar nomination taken away. It is a heartless thing to do, there was no discussion to James family about this movie being made and given the ok to go ahead. If any movie is being made that involves real life stories should always check with the victims families before they start filming and should be law. Victims and their families must come first

  • Allow Families To Have A Holiday During Term Time

    Carol Costa has created a petition which we felt we just could not share.

    Allow parents to take children out of school for 1 week a year during term time

    I’m fed up of being over charged for a family holiday during the school holidays. It’s unfair that families pay an inflated holiday cost just because it is the school holidays. This needs to be combatted to allow hard working families to be able to afford to take their children away.

    As a mum of three, I understand the importance of education and how instrumental our children’s attendance is to their successful progression but quality family time is also important.

    Many families can simply not afford to go away during the school holidays.

    We need to allow hard working parents to enjoy their children on a weeks holiday when they choose, once a year at a price that isn’t inflated. The only way this is achievable is during term time when prices go down dramatically

  • Ban Pony Painting Parties Now

    Pony painting parties are a disturbing trend popping up all over the UK. Imagine being tied up amidst shrieking laughter, unpredictable touching and having strangers smear your hair in paint. This is happening all over the country to horses right now and we need to take a stand and get pony painting parties banned.

    How would you feel about strangers smearing paint on your pet? Is this something we want to encourage in children? If left unchecked, this will only get worse. What will happen when a stressed horse kicks or bites a child? What if there are tragic fatalities? These parties are dangerous to both children and animals – and all just for a bit of money.

    The 2006 Animal Welfare Act says that owners have a positive duty of care towards their animals and a responsibility to prevent the animal from becoming distressed. Animals have ways of communicating distress – horses show stress signs through swishing, flared nostrils, raised tail, sweating and a raised heartbeat. These subtle signals are not obvious  to families/children and could even be ignored by organisers who are prioritising profits.

    Animals do not want to be grabbed at, shrieked at or painted on for human’s enjoyment. Sign my petition to take a stand today to get this unnecessary cruelty banned!

  • Give all women the choice of an Induction at 41 weeks of Pregnancy

    Victoria Birtles is desperate for support and needs your help.

    Birtles said “Give all women the choice of an Induction at 41 weeks of Pregnancy.

    Our son Archie was stillborn in June 2017 at 41+5. He had died only hours before I had gone into labour and was born a perfect 7lb11. Had I been induced with Archie at 41 weeks he most certainly would have been born a healthy baby boy. We now have to live everyday with the grief of losing our son.

    Eight babies are Stillborn everyday in the UK. Evidence proves that a pregnancy continued past 41 weeks has a dramatically increased risk of a stillbirth. Due to this evidence the USA induce all women at 41 weeks.

    Unfortunately we have no such law in the UK and it is still currently procedure to let mothers continue to 42 weeks. The result of this is that the UK still has one of the highest percentages of stillbirth in the world today.

    Help us save lives of unborn children in the UK.
