BAN OLYMPIC TORCHBEARERS SELLING THEIR TORCHES ON EBAY

If you're disgusted with the disrespectful, money-grabbing attitude of the privileged few that have abused the honour to represent Great Britain and plan to cash in on the once in a lifetime opportunity to carry the flame, SIGN THIS PETITION NOW TO STOP TORCHBEARERS SELLING THEIR UNIFORMS AND TORCHES FOR PROFIT AND PERSONAL GAIN.

So many of us have missed out and would have cherished this unique patriotic duty. It is an abomination and kick in the teeth to genuine athletes and members of society that would have respected and upheld this momentous occasion with utmost dignity.

SIGN THIS PETITION NOW AND GET OUR GOVERNMENT TO PUT THINGS RIGHT!!!!

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Torchbearers have the option to buy their torches - what they do with a torch they have bought is up to them. We hope they go to good homes, but this is not something in which the Government can intervene.

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