What the petition asks
In a Channel 4 feature, the Ambassador can be heard telling the Foreign Secretary that the poem ' The Road to Mandalay' is not appropriate. This is disrespectful to all veterans who served in Burma or surrounding countries in WW2, their families and relations. Myanmar now, was Burma then.
