Rejected petition Call on the UK Government to ban Playing Cards

More details

Many may view the so called harmless playing card as merely a recreational tool but in reality it wrecks lives. It's highly addictive properties create abstract poverty, violence both public and domestic, anti social behaviour and even self harming and devil worship. I call upon the Home Office to debate not only the serious harm these objects bring into everyday society but their impact on the national economy, health and education system.
