Rejected petition introducing self defence in all schools across UK for boys and girls
Rejected on
I want the government/Parliament to have a look into adding martial arts/self defence for boys and girls into the school curriculum as I think it would help with abductions and maybe some of the gang violence/knife crime in the UK
Add it to the school curriculum
