Bring about charges and/or control people earning money for being uneconomical

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Make a law that increases tax bands or brings about charges against people being purposely uneconomical for entertainment. E.g. Someone hits a hammer on a TV screen for entertainment on social media. This would support the new law against manufacturers having to provide parts upto 10yrs.
For the people, for the economy, for sustainability, for the environment, to control the media and to prevent antisocial personality traits and for our future.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

What people choose to do with their legally-owned possessions within the confines of the law is a matter for them, not the UK Government or Parliament.
