To stop the erosion of our British identity and British Traditions.
Rejected
18 signatures
What the petition asks
Many of our British ways and traditions are now being labeled as offensive to a minority of people. We want these enshrined in law to protect both our ways and traditions. All new citizens and immigrants must also be taught to accept and respect these as a part of their citizenship.
Objections to our National Anthem, Remembrance day, the Union Jack, Nativity plays and to the use of such words as "Happy Christmas" to name but a few, must not be allowed to change our British identity!
Why it was rejected
