Rejected petition Stop bogus charities collecting monies in the name of military veterans.

There has been an upsurge in bogus charities selling wrist bands and raffle tickets supposedly for military charities. Yet most of these only 1p in the pound goes to any kind of charity if any at all.
This is taking advantage of the public goodwill to assist veterans and is wholly wrong!

More details

I have seen and challenged such a "charity" on the streets of Basingstoke and posted my encounter on Facebook. Now I am seeing dozens of other such postings happening daily.
