Rejected petition Remove protesters from London by physical force
The climate change protesters are causing a commotion in the capital and disrupting traffic and making our government spend money on the policing when they could be using the spending knife crime in the capital.
More details
Our police officers have been denied leave over the bank holiday weekend as they have to control peacefully the protesters who are disrupting society.
Sajid Javid has also said that the police should use the ‘full force of the law’ so they should be removing them and stopping the disruption in our capital. The metropolitan police should be doing what the french police are doing to tackle the protesters.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the management of protests is an operational decision for the police and not one for the UK Government or Parliament.
The Mayor of London is responsible for the Metropolitan Police. You could start a petition to the Mayor of London and London Assembly here:
