What the petition asks
There should be national public vote by all living in the UK as to whether we continue with lockdowns, circuit breakers or open up society and live with the pandemic. Let all the people who are affected decide themselves how to move forward rather than our lives and businesses restricted/controlled
Workwise have had out earnings and jobs taken away, businesses ruined and bankrupted, worn through our savings, limited support for self employed, high streets are ghost towns.
Personal lives, contact with friends, family, saying goodbye to loved ones, weddings anniversaries occasion ruined by government order yet its us the public who are affected.
So many government uturns, failures onntesting track and trace, still complications over rules, us the public want to decide our own way to proceed.
