What the petition asks
The vote to leave the EU means people voted to Take Back Control. Control of their borders, their culture and their language. Whether 'Dieu et mon droit' and 'Honi qui mal y pense' have existed as mottos in England for ages is irrelevant. French is an EU language and has no place on a UK passport.
