What the petition asks

The People of the UK are extremely unhappy with the current sports minister Nigel Huddlestone and we would like him to resign immediately or be replaced
The reason for this is we as the sporting community of the UK have lost all faith in his ability to carry out the role.
A sports minister should be an advocate for sport and see the benefits that sport exercise and fitness has on the UK population.
Nigel Huddlestone was asked in Parliament to make sporting establishments essential ensuring we would remain open should be enter another national lockdown.
He failed in his duty to answer this very simple question left many, bitterly disappointed
