Please Implement Rationing amid Coronavirus Crisis
Rejected

What the petition asks
It is clear that many people are being completely selfish and buying up huge amounts of food depriving others. So that every-one can have a fair share of food please implement rationing (like they did in the war) so every-one can get enough food to eat and ease the problems in supermarkets.
Some people are grabbing everything they can and clearing the supermarket shelves leaving nothing for others, I saw a posting of a Nurse who had been working all day helping those sick with coronavirus in absolute tears after her shift that there was nothing left to buy to feed her own family.
