What the petition asks
Through the use of heavy fines or possibly jail time the UK government should do all that it can to stop hate crimes and racism by making this salute illegal.
In Germany, Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Sweden and Switzerland to make the Nazi salute is illegal. It is a shorthand for fascism and racism. It is a hate crime. The government must make this action illegal.
