What the petition asks

We listened and hung on every word of the Health Secretary even got told we could kill our grandma if we hugged her or saw her, funerals had numbers limited as did weddings meanwhile the very man giving the orders was breaking them himself.

Remove Matt Hancock. He had lost his moral stance and no longer has the right to command our attention. The public has now seen what covid is about control for them freedom for health Secretaries who should know better. Resign or be sacked.
