We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Rejected petition Recognise racism towards white people and Anglophobia as a hate crime.
We would like the government to recognise racism towards white people and Anglophobia as a hate crime.
More details
Racism towards white people and Anglophobia has become increasingly popular and is seen as socially acceptable. When a white person reports the racist hate crime, the matter is not taken seriously by authorities or in the workplace. White people are not exempt from racist abuse. Racism and Anglophobia should not be socially acceptable.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.
We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.
A crime can already be prosecuted as a hate crime if the offence has demonstrated hostility based on race or been motivated by hostility based on race.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
