False allegation of Jeremy Corbyn by the Sun newspaper

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Jeremy Corbyn was reported to have been dancing his way to the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. The Sun paper, photo shopped a WWII Veteran out of the picture. This made it look like Jeremy Corbyn was mocking the Service.
Jeremy can clearly be seen in other media outlets at that exact moment walking with the Veteran.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
