What the petition asks
Richard "Wiley" Cowie should NOT be stripped of his MBE and have his career tarnished over an opinion of his.
We live in a country where freedom of speech is still legally allowed. We are not living in a dictatorship.
A man, woman, any human being should not have their entire career put on complete hold, stripped of any title, or black-balled/tarnished because of a matter of an opinion.
Re-instate Wileys social media platforms, YouTube accounts, and let the man earn his money and continue his career!
