Rejected petition Prevent the rise of racism in Britain

The recent referendum has led to alarming levels of racist abuse and attacks. Buoyed by the vote to exit the EU, racist people think that their voice has been legitimised.

I request that the rag-tag bunch of whoever is left in the Houses of Parliament move quickly and decisively to prevent this.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do to prevent the rise of racism.

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