What the petition asks
Various news sources have highlighted today that Boris Johnson, in the middle of a pandemic when millions are struggling to put food on the table, wants to spend nearly £1 million of tax payers money on painting his plane.
I feel that this is an outrageous waste of money that would be far better used providing thousands of meal vouchers to under privileged children throughout the summer holidays.
This is yet another incident that just goes to show how out of touch the Tory government are. We dont need a painted plane, we need more support for our most vulnerable children in society.
