Rejected petition Ignore what vegetarians and vegans think about £5 notes

Vegetarians and vegans are allegedly "furious" about the new £5 containing tallow. These leather wearing, plastic using consumers of pharmaceutical and gelatinous products are boring the rest of us with their hypocrisy and faux air of superiority/ outrage when they should just bore off

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Bank notes are the responsibility of the Bank of England, which is independent of the Government and Parliament.

You could start a new petition asking the Government to urge the Bank of England not to change the content of £5 notes.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
