Please introduce formal rationing so that everyone can get essential supplies.

Petition Details

HM Government have a duty of care to ensure all people, not least those working in essential services, have access to basics like food(!) and sanitation (toilet paper, nappies, sanitary and cleaning products). The best way to do this is through temporary formal rationing.

Additional Information

It is heartbreaking and frustrating in estremis to see essential workers (healthcare, emergency services, teachers and so on) being unable to buy shopping from supermarkets who are not doing enough to restrict the sale of items to those to greedy or worse ignorant to the harm and hurt they are causing.
