Please sign and show your support for our countryside!

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We are not sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.

You could start a new petition calling for a change in the law for crimes based on hostility to someone's place or type of employment to be considered hate crime if that is something you would like to happen.
