We can't accept your petition because it appears to be asking the public to do something, not the Government or Parliament. You could sign this petition asking the Government to restrict stockpiling, if that's what you'd like it to do: Restrict people stockpiling and reselling items at inflated prices
You may be aware that since you started this petition, a number of retailers have announced plans to open at certain times especially for NHS staff. You should contact your local supermarket to find out if they have put such arrangements in place.
