3. Signals that anyone who uses such phrases in UK should expect to feel the full force of UK anti-hate speech and anti-racism legislation.
4. Ensures every voter knows their MP supports the fight against hatred and racism.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
