Don't spend £900k of public money painting a plane!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Read that back to yourself, £900k to paint a plane! How unbelievably ridiculous does that sound? We're fighting a global pandemic! Businesses are shutting, families are STILL having to rely on foodbanks, the economy is in tatters & you think this is "Value for money?" Think again!
Let common sense prevail. This needs to be spent on things like the NHS, medical research, helping the record numbers of homeless people that we have in 21st century Britain, helping businesses during this horrendous time in our history, any number of valid causes, NOT TARTING UP A PLANE!

Why it was rejected
