What the petition asks
Reason being we are not foreigners in our own land. What is left of it especially as we are the recognised descendants of the native Britons prior to low country, Germanic, Scandinavian and eventually Norman incursions taking it from us.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The Government and Parliament are not responsible for the words that people use to describe places.
