What the petition asks
As the BLM rioting gets worse britians history is being defaced. Now their is talk of removing monuments, this is removing history be it good or bad. Lets stop the defacing and removal of britians history. Protect our histoy and monuments in law and make it an offence to desecrate a war memorial.
Great Britain has a history good and bad but to remove it so future generations cannot see it and make thier own minds up is against everything Britain stands for. ISIS removed monuments and destroyed then and we protected them so lets look after our own. The defacing of war memorials is in affect desecrating graves of many how died for this country.
