Rejected petition Remove the BFB from Brunei because of human rights violations towards gay people

As a member of the LGBTQ community and a UK citizen, I am appalled by new laws that result in the stoning to death of gay people in Brunei. I am equally disturbed by the fact that British soldiers (BFB) are semi-permanently based there at the request of the Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah.
