Rejected petition The Life time ISA is age discrimination as it is only open to people under 40

The Life Time ISA can only be opened by those between 18 to 39. The account offers a government bonus of 25% up to a maximum £1000 per a year. The ISA is admirable as it is designed to encourage the young to save towards a home deposit or retirement. But what about us oldies over 40, I want my bonus
