What the petition asks
Diane Abbott MP condemns the use of spit-hoods for various reasons condemning the police to all sorts of diseases which is simply unacceptable.
I want her to work a full city centre fri/sat shift on payday and see how she likes getting spat on and then see if they are a good idea or not.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This would be a decision for Ms Abbott to make. It's not the responsibility of the Government or of the House of Commons as a whole.
