Call for MP Boris Johnson to resign after his vile & distasteful language RE CSA

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

MP Boris Johnson went on the Radio & when asked where police money could be saved, he said historic child sexual abuse investigations had “spaffed” £66m up the wall. His comments are vile, unfounded & he is not fit for public office. His terminology deeply offensive to survivors of CSA.

It takes years for victims to come forwards & tell someone about their abuse as a child.
To use “spaffed” the urban slang for ejaculate to describe money spent investigating these crimes is vile & he needs to apologise in the commons or resign.
It is not a waste of money, because offenders don’t stop until they are made too. This means not just getting justice for historic victims but protecting children today & in the future. 1 in 6 sexually abused in the UK & they deserve justice.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can’t accept petitions about honours and appointments. That includes petitions asking people to resign.

In any case, this would be a decision for the individual MP, not the UK Government and Parliament.
