Rejected petition Rescind the knighthood for Gavin Williamson
Rejected on
To reverse the decision to give Gavin Williamson a knighthood which is undeserved
Gavin Williamson was inept as Education Secretary causing untold stress to students and teachers due to last minute decisions and poor management. To confer a knighthood for ineptitude debases the honours system.
