What the petition asks

This petition seeks the resignation of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister because of his incompetent and damaging handling of the UK's experience of the COVID19 pandemic.
Boris Johnson's combination of inaction, policies in contrary to recommended actions, then delayed responses in relation the unfolding experience in the UK, and to other countries' governments, are damaging and risking the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and actively damaging the economic well being and economy of millions of UK citizens and residents. He has to hold himself accountable for these choices; he should resign.
