What the petition asks

We are already aware that these Muslims have Sleeper Cells here in Britain MI5 have already said they are tracking some of these Extreamists " that have returned from Syria but cant track them all as they don't have enough personnel to do so If not why not

Why has our PM cut National Security at a time when due to recent world events should be a number one priority. The same can be said of our Armed Forces again cut to the bone when the Military should be expanding not shrinking. What will happen when an Extremist here goes on the rampage and kills scores of British people in one of our beach resorts ? Will Cameron tell us to keep away from beaches, or should we in the worlds of our greatest PM Winston Chrchill Fight Them There ?

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

If you would like the UK Government to expand the armed forces and secret services, we could accept a petition on that.

If you would like the UK Government and Parliament to change the law in relation to people's ability to carry arms, we could also accept a petition about that. There is currently one petition open on this issue: Repeal the ban on ownership of handguns, and include personal protection.
