Rejected petition Exempt children from "Rule of 6" England.

Exempt children from "Rule of 6" England.

More details

As a family of 6 who have stuck to all the lockdown rules we are now being penalised for being a large family, or having children at all. If you are single you can see 5 different friends every night of the week in a home but we can't take my children to my parents house so I can go to work!
