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.
