Rejected petition Close Down The EHRC Quango

More details

The EHRC costs taxpayers £53 million a year. It spends ten million pounds per annum on politically correct initiatives such as “race equality councils” and “promoting equality and human rights” without even knowing where much of the money goes.

I suggest we close this quango down and use the money in the NHS or schools instead. We have never needed this quango and never will, it is a complete waste of taxpayers money.
