Rejected petition Penalize any public or private body that prevents the sale of the Remembrance Day Poppy

More details

It has come to light that The Royal British Legion may be prevented from selling Remembrance Poppies in certain areas on the grounds that it may offend sections of those communities. I would petition that such action be penalized and sanctions brought against any public or private organisation that prevents the sale of Remembrance Poppies on these grounds.
