Make it illegal to have public protests on days of celebration and remembrance

Closed 213 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe it is disrespectful for demonstrations or rallies to be held on UK religious holidays, Bank holidays or national days like remembrance day. UK citizens should be able to enjoy these special days without the disruption of demonstrations and rallies.
Judging by the strength of public opinion regarding the current wave of demonstrations it is important that the Government act to prevent the loss of importance these days hold in the public domain. The cost of policing these events could also be saved.
