Rejected petition Protect British cultural statues and monuments

The government needs to act to protect British historical and cultural landmarks, statues and monuments.

More details

British historical figures monuments, statues and our culture is under attack by mob rule. The government must intervene to protect British history and our cultural heritage. Allowing the destruction of our statues and monuments is cultural vandalism and will not erase our nations past. I fear that allowing this cultural destruction will stoke more resentment to racial minorities and damage social cohesiveness for generations to come.
