What the petition asks
I would like our government to realise it isn't illegal to be English, and recognise that we are all proud of our flag and what it represents.
I think it is unacceptable that the FA and the corporate world can change a nations national flag without considering the implications on our national identity.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about the England football kit are a matter for the Football Association, not the UK Government or Parliament.
