Rejected petition Stop clocks going back on Sunday, 25 October 2020

This is an antiquated law for the outdated reasons above. Furthermore and especially in these unprecedented times it interrupts our sleep patterns, reduces our exposure to vitamin C and makes commuting less likely as both sides of the work day are dark - this increases planet pollution.
For once we need our government to make a simple decision for simple reasons. Its not Brexit and its not a referendum, just common sense.
