Rejected petition Close the bars in the Palace of Westminster
Rejected on
Ban the dispensing of alcohol within the Palace of Westminster
Michael Fabricant's recent slur on hard working professional teachers and nurses, suggesting that they retired to their staff lounges for drinks showed just how out of touch politicians are with ordinary people. In no other walk of life is alcohol provided at the work place. The inevitable inference is that decisions are made by our elected representatives while they are under the influence of drink This should be stopped.
