Uk needs a circuit breaker now
Rejected

What the petition asks
The government cant run the economy properly if peoples health is at risk .
If we want to be able to have a safe christmas with our families, we need to act now. Otherwise these local lockdowns will spread over the next few weeks and around christmas time , the full lockdown could happen then. Is this what the nation wants? For the sake of everyone in the Uk, we should do this now. The government cant run the economy if peoples health is at risk . Please sign if you agree and want this lockdown now! Surely give the circuit breaker a chance to see if it works, we all have to do this together, not local lockdowns for some.
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
Since you started your petition the Government has announced a new national lockdown, from 5 November to 2 December: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/new-national-restrictions-from-5-november
