Rejected petition: Exemptions for Carrying Bladed Weapons/any weapons in Public
Rejected on
No matter what your religion in this country we do not accept weapons being carried on a person. UK laws need to be respected and consequences must be had if these are not adhered to.
2 tier policing must be abolished and the same rule for all
The UK does not allow members of the public to carry bladed articles/weapons on a person. This should be adhered to by everyone living within the UK regardless of religion
