Rejected petition Force the use of the word Easter on all Easter products.

Company's are making a profit selling Easter products but don't promote this deep rooted UK holiday on their product packaging. Many company's are dropping the word Easter from their packaging for fear of it being too religious and offending other religious groups.

More details

I call on the government to protect the history, culture and religious festivals of the UK by making company's who use religious holidays to sell thier products to advertise these holidays correctly.
