Rejected petition Withdraw the England football team from the World Cup in Russia this summer.

The government's response to the attempted assassination in Salisbury of an ex-Russian agent and his daughter using chemical weapons has been wholly inadequate. The most public and effective way to show our disapproval would be to boycott Putin's Football World Cup this summer.

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.

We're not sure exactly what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

If you would like Government ministers to boycott the 2018 World Cup, you could start a new petition asking for that.

The Government isn't responsible for the England football team, but your petition could ask the Government to urge the England team not to attend.

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