What the petition asks
We've been feeding a never ending gravy train of lies and corruption for over 43 years, and received little in return. Yet whenever the UK’s economy showed the slightest upturn, the greedy bureaucrats were out in force once again as usual with their greasy palms out looking for more and more!
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This would be the responsibility of the EU, not the UK Government or Parliament.
