Lift Covid restrictions on Saturday 30th of October at 12 noon.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

The Covid restrictions are due to be lifted 24 hours after this. We want to work alongside the rest of the UK and have the freedom to make our own choices.
It is unreasonable for the government to change the rules at this short notice. We want to move alongside the rest of the UK. We agree to keep the negative test results and proof of vaccination card for entry however individuals should have the free will to make the choice as humans if we want to enter these events with knowledge of the Covid risk. It’s been two years. Let us dance.

Why it was rejected

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