Rejected petition Government figures must resign or be removed if breaching lockdown guidance

Rejected on 26 June 2020

Government figures (in positions of authority) must resign or be removed if found to be in breach of coronavirus lockdown guidance. If this is allowed to occur, it represents hypocrisy and reveals a system that caters for the elite rather than the masses

Fairness, equality and to demonstrate that those staying at home are making an incredible sacrifice that is hugely valuable.
