What the petition asks
Submit a request to HRH on behalf of the British people and electorate to have the Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter" awarded to Tony Blair rescinded
Across the British people and electorate it is known that whilst Tony Blair was the prime minister that he made the decision on behalf of the UK to support the invasion and war with Iraq, yet this decision was incorrect. As such, Tony Blair should not be knighted as it is an unjustified award and strongly goes against the wishes of the British people and electorate
