Prohibit Public Holidays from being Politicised
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
The use of public funds by the Mayor of London to promote closer EU-ties has politicised and spoilt what should have been a politics-free event. We wish to ensure that public funds can no longer be misused in this way, thusly ensuring that all future public events and holidays remain politics-free.
