What the petition asks
Sadiq Khan is not only a national embarrassment for London but an international embarrassment for the United Kingdom brand and needs to be removed from Office of the Mayor London forth-with.
After he established a commission full of “15 activists” to research and put forward proposals to change street names, memorials and statues in London. Is just a long line of unjustified attacks on the British People and her institutions. Gun and Drug Crime are out of Control in the Capital. The position of Mayor of London is to an important role for an elected position and it has to end.

Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We can't accept petitions about appointments, which includes calling for politicians to be removed from office.
You could start a petition calling for the Mayor of London to be appointed rather than elected, if that's what you'd like to see happen. But you'll need to explain how they should be appointed.
