Remove Wileys MBE

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Wiley has shared deeply anti-semitic messages and videos across multiple social media channels. This includes inciting violence against the Jewish community, with no thought about the people this will hurt and the children who will see these messages.
The Cabinet Office must remove his MBE, to make clear to the British Jewish community and wider society that these messages are unacceptable and dangerous. He cannot he allowed to hold such an important title whilst being a known rabid anti-Semite.

Why it was rejected

We cannot accept petitions about honours and appointments. Decisions about removing honours are made on the advice of the Forfeiture Committee and with the approval of the Sovereign: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/having-honours-taken-away-forfeiture
