Rejected petition Rename Bank of England

More details

As the referendum showed, the Bank of England is the reserve bank of the UK. We, the undersigned, believe its name should be changed to a new name, for instance the UK Reserve Bank.

Changing its name might fly in the face of tradition, but it is not just the central bank of England.
