Strip Philip Green of his Knighthood

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

His knighthood was for his contribution to UK Retail. His motivation has not been to Retailing, but to inflate his already over inflated bank balance. The collapse of BHS and its Pension shortfall, is a national disgrace, which falls solely at his feet, so strip him of his knighthood.

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:
