What the petition asks
I would like to see the Gov ask the police to find everyone of the people that have posted racist comments about England players after the 2020 Euros.
These people need to be brought to book.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
Investigating alleged criminal offences are a matter for the police, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
