This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government
Rejected petition To full legal protection for any registered Catholic/Christian person in the UK.
Due to all the articles in the papers concerning islamaphobia I would like Catholics and Christians to be protected also. I think this will help catholics/christians of the UK who believe there is no help for them and become scared of speaking out if there is a hate crime/speech commited towards.
More details
In Scotland alone Catholics are the biggest target of hate crime More than all other religions combined. Also Christians/catholics are becoming a minority in the UK which has been recently noted by the independent when they interviewed the bishop of London on 2016. I think this will help many people in the UK who are living in fear of being Catholic/Christian.
