What the petition asks
Trigger Article 16 of the Northern Ireland protocol. We shouldn't have an invisible border within our own country.
The situation in Northern Ireland cannot be allowed to continue. What's happened in Northern Ireland recently shows that there is only one solution to the problem. A solution that should've been implemented last July, but the British government was, and still is, too cowardly to do it. Which is why the EU are basically laughing at us. The government must stop being all mouth and no trousers, trigger Article 16 and then not back out until the EU are on their knees begging.
