What the petition asks
On Wednesday 13th March 2019 (yes, 2019!) Boris Johnson said that £60 million has been "spaffed up the wall" by investigating historical allegations of child sex abuse.
First, Boris said "some investigation", this shows utter contempt for the alleged victim(s) involved and child sex abuse (CSA) abuse survivors everywhere. Secondly, Boris used the most disgusting phrase "spaffed up the wall" in reference to the £60 million investigation, if you do not know what this Google it, but it is NSFW. This is disgusting terminology to use when talking about child sex allegations. It's really unbelievable that a man aiming for high office, an elected Member of Parliament and former Mayor of our capital city has insulted so many survivors of child sex abuse in such a derogatory way.
We demand a public apology and donation to charities that help CSA survivors.

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 the individual MP, not the UK Government and Parliament.
