Revoke the 6 person ban on gatherings

What the petition asks
Reverse the 'Rule of Six' ban on gatherings of more than 6 people as, due to other implemented rules, it is quite frankly stupid and not going to work. You are sending children back to school with minimum social distancing and, in some cases, in bubbles of more than 200 other students.
You allow weddings and funerals to continue taking place with social distancing, so why can’t we meet friends out of a bubble when socially distancing? It’s a stupid law and will have no effect what do ever if you are going to send young people back to school.
