Rejected petition Requisition Tony Blair's properties to lodge refugees from N Africa/Middle East

By starting the Iraq war in 2003 and unleashing chaos throughout the Middle East, Mr. Tony Blair bears primary responsibility for the current wave of refugees to Europe. We call upon the Government to requisition his UK properties to lodge as many of these poor people as possible.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government can't requisition private property in the way you describe.

If you would like the Government to provide more funding for refugees, you may find that there is already a petition on the site which you would like to sign.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
