&lt;br&gt;Basically the reason all these things have happened over last 30 years to uk is because the people in the country won't come together and support or change anything they just accept everything that has been happening&lt;br&gt;As they can't be bothered you hear people often say im not interested in politics which is current affairs&lt;br&gt;That is meaning that all public are not interested in everything going on around them till it affects them&lt;br&gt;Well that's my rant over with where is my flight ticket out of uk</description><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jul 2016 22:55:38 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Dalesguy15</dc:creator></item><item><title>Current two conviction DBS disclosure system - Please support my petition</title><link>https://forum.unlock.org.uk/FindPost902.aspx</link><description>Firstly where can I find the link for the petition or Web page for it?&lt;br&gt;You mentioned its been discussed? &lt;br&gt;No high court have ruled that they don't now accept the present filtering system as being fair and must now be changed this is good news for yourself or your friend&lt;br&gt;The bad news is following yes unattractive teresa can't understand for the life of me why people keep electing her as a mp okay I forget she is tory representative in millionaire constituency&lt;br&gt;But seriously this woman is a disgrace and i believe she will appeal the present decision from high court like she did with the original filtering system in 2013&lt;br&gt;The other bad news is that majority of the sleeping sheep brits are planning to vote for us all to leave EU this summer time&lt;br&gt;Guess what that will mean? &lt;br&gt;Yes correct goodbye are only human rights act Article 8 which is the only thing we had to get any filtering process in the first place&lt;br&gt;Without Article 8 there is no filtering process so yes you can see what is coming soon&lt;br&gt;Unattractive teresa will delay having to do anything by appealing and then by time appeal is heard we will be out of EU&lt;br&gt;And she will employ the very best QC Barristers 1000 a hour types to say filtering system is now void as Article 8 does not apply&lt;br&gt;And the entire filtering process will either be suspended and stopped or&lt;br&gt;Will only remain as 2013 one conviction only for good&lt;br&gt;Then lovely Teresa unattractive may will bring us a watered down British bill of rights which will mean we have no rights&lt;br&gt;And on top of all this lovely depressing news many thousands of more jobs will go as most jobs keeping Britain going are European companies&lt;br&gt;As in previous tory governments 1979 onwards are lovely not here anymore Thatcher destroyed all British industry&lt;br&gt;But British sheep have been brainwashed by ukip and argument that we are been taken over by immigrants forgetting the bigger picture like no jobs and no human rights left&lt;br&gt;Scotland will then demand another vote to be s independent country and will also leave&lt;br&gt;So what will be left just England and Wales and parts of Ireland&lt;br&gt;Wales and Ireland are almost separate countries anyway&lt;br&gt;So England will be a even smaller island cut of from everything and everyone&lt;br&gt;And will have no democracy just tory party very strong in power now or mild tory labour&lt;br&gt;No jobs other than dead end low paid service jobs&lt;br&gt;And no human rights&lt;br&gt;Medieval laws to continue discrimination against anyone with any minor conviction from ten or 20 or 30 years ago for ever&lt;br&gt;I think this country is going down fast and im thinking seriously of ways to leave even to Scotland which is better than here&lt;!-- Edit --&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Post Edited (Dalesguy15) : 18/02/2016 06:11:44 (GMT+1)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jul 2016 22:55:38 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Dalesguy15</dc:creator></item><item><title>Current two conviction DBS disclosure system - Please support my petition</title><link>https://forum.unlock.org.uk/FindPost901.aspx</link><description>Thanks for the advice Dalesguy15. I agree that this issue has been discussed but we are of the opinion that if people let the gov know how unfair this is from other angles, they might actually sit up and take notice. As for the sentence, he can't remember it was so long ago. He knows that it was only a small fine i.e. not custodial sentences or community service etc. This is what makes the current system so unfair for people like him. He has done 30 plus years service as a civil servant and now because of stupid ill thought-out rule, he can't find another employer that's willing to accept him. It wouldn't be so bad if it described the offence on the declaration certificate. Let's face it, if you were an employer, would you employ a person with theft and fraud on their CV?&lt;br&gt;I have written to `Cruella May' because she wants to object about&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the High court judgement but she is not likely to lower herself and reply is she!&lt;br&gt;Hope this explains his dilemma and hope that if anyone else out there is reading this, please support the petition...Thank you.</description><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jul 2016 22:55:38 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>IJM888</dc:creator></item><item><title>Current two conviction DBS disclosure system - Please support my petition</title><link>https://forum.unlock.org.uk/FindPost900.aspx</link><description>What was sentence your friend got for those car related offences?</description><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jul 2016 22:55:38 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Dalesguy15</dc:creator></item><item><title>Current two conviction DBS disclosure system - Please support my petition</title><link>https://forum.unlock.org.uk/FindPost899.aspx</link><description>Look on latest news on unlock and you will see the story about&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt; it high court rules dbs system unfair January 2016&lt;br&gt;In order to create a fairer system it needs to filter out any minor offences if the person has more than one or two or three minor offences at least up to five minor offences&lt;br&gt;Or multiple order one conviction in my view&lt;br&gt;But also there needs to be a fairer system all together like for example if someone has a offence that is on the never be filtered growing list  &lt;br&gt;Say like someone has serious offence of GBH and two other minor offences that could qualify for filtering&lt;br&gt;Why not just reveal GBH on DBS check only&lt;br&gt;And not one or two minor offences that way it would give that person who already has GBH stigma on dbs check to face for life&lt;br&gt; It would make there situation tiny bit better as at least other offences would not show</description><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jul 2016 22:55:38 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Dalesguy15</dc:creator></item><item><title>Current two conviction DBS disclosure system - Please support my petition</title><link>https://forum.unlock.org.uk/FindPost898.aspx</link><description>What you have written about&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt; its already just been ruled as unfair in high court in January 2016&lt;br&gt;And now everyone is awaiting what changes will occur for people with more than one offence</description><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jul 2016 22:55:38 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Dalesguy15</dc:creator></item><item><title>Current two conviction DBS disclosure system - Please support my petition</title><link>https://forum.unlock.org.uk/FindPost897.aspx</link><description>I’ve made a petition – will you sign it?&lt;br&gt;Click this link to sign the petition:&lt;br&gt;https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/121265/sponsors/FhHjmz53pGvzhJEbLXl&lt;br&gt;My petition:&lt;br&gt;Make the DBS filtering system fairer for people with more than 2 convictions.&lt;br&gt;People that commit more than one petty offence have to declare this to some employers on application even though their offences may be petty or recorded decades ago. With prisoners being released early and people getting a slapped wrist for serious offences today, historical offenders stand to lose&lt;br&gt;Since being made redundant, my friend has been unable to get another job because 35 years ago, he took a hub cap off a dumped car and on another occasion altered a road tax disk. Employers are unlikely to offer him a job because of it. In fact, a criminal with one serious offence that has lapsed can have his/her record filtered after a period of time. I think petty recorded crimes recorded over decades ago should be filtered also. The current system is ridiculous and discriminatory.&lt;br&gt;https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/121265/sponsors/FhHjmz53pGvzhJEbLXl</description><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jun 2014 18:11:36 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>IJM888</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
