Rejected petition Unbox the statue of Winston Churchill and protect our heritage.
I would like this debated and I want the majority of this united kingdoms opinions put before identity politics. We are the most diverse country in the world and should be proud of the way we have accepted all the changes we have made to make all races and religions feel welcome.

What I want is parliament to realise they are there to do the peoples will, not bow to political correctness
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Decisions about individual historical monuments, statues, plaques and street names are a matter for the local authority in which they are located and private landowners, not the UK Government or Parliament.
If you want to raise concerns about a particular historical monument or statue you should contact your local authority about this.
The Local Government Association has published an advice note to help councils work to ensure all sections of the community feel heard by decision-makers and each other: https://www.local.gov.uk/topics/community-safety/statues
