Rejected petition Repeal the Public Order Act of 1936
The Public Order Act of 1936 makes political uniform (even something as small as a pin or badge) a criminal offence. This law is being used by the government to deter people from joining political movements considered "radical" by the government, such as Britain First. This is unacceptable.

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.
We're not sure whether you want to ensure that all "political uniforms" are legal or whether you want to repeal all provisions of the Public Order Act 1936, including those which cover areas other than "political uniforms".
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
