What the petition asks
Although I am an ethnic minority and a guest in your home I am mindful that the UK economy has been hit very hard by Covid. To encourage recovery we should all buy British. To that end let's reduce the VAT on UK-made items by 1-5% to encourage people to buy home-made items.
The Government can make the shortfall by increased employment among the UK population and increased spending on UK items making life better for everybody!
