Strip Sir Bernard Ingham of his knighthood

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Similar to the heinous crime of holocaust denial, Bernie 'Brows' Ingham sent deplorable letters to the families of Hillsborough victims, and despite the recent unlawful killing verdict, still denies any part of the cover-up and refuses to apologise.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't accept petitions asking for people's honours to be taken away. You can find out more about how honours are taken away here:
