What the petition asks
Richard Kylea Cowie Jr. (AKA Wiley) should have his MBE withdrawn due to anti-semitic views
“Wiley” has posted publicly on multiple social media platforms his extremely anti-semitic views. Due to this very serious and delicate subject, I do not believe he possesses the correct moral values that a MBE should have and that his MBE should be withdrawn. As a well known public figure who holds a MBE, this has brought the honours system in to disrepute.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
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
