What the petition asks
The latest New Years Honours list included government advisors receiving well deserved titles in being knighted to become 'Sirs'.
Professor Jason Leitch who has worked tirelessly to protect the public with advice including mainstream programmes and adverts, always answering difficult questions and instilling calm should in the interest of fairness also be knighted like his counterparts elsewhere in the UK..
Why it was rejected
