Rejected petition Open a public enquiry into the Governments handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

More details

Someone should be held accountable for the impact these decisions have made on the general population. Lives have been destroyed because those in power have not listened to advice quickly enough or used information on trends from other countries to establish a plan. The UK is the worst affected country in Europe despite having 2-3 weeks of seeing what was happening in other countries.
