Rejected petition After COVID-19 pandemic, quarantine hoarders until they've eaten their supply

The public have shown themselves to be selfish and greedy: quarantine all people who have bought more than they will ever need and ban them from supermarkets until they've eaten their selfishly hoarded stash.

More details

Because you're not doing anything to prevent or punish this disgusting greedy behaviour, leaving the vulnerable, elderly and disabled as well as vital workers unable to get food and supplies.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand you are concerned about the availability of food, we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Banning specific customers from supermarkets would be a matter for individual retailers.
