Rejection code: honours (see below for details)
Recognise Captain Tom Moore, with a British Empire award, even a Knighthood.
Tom is 100 years old this month, and I'm sure walking around the garden on a zimmer frame, is as much of a challenge for him as any high flying job.
The millions he has raised, is not even for him, but for our NHS charities. Let's see if sheer numbers of support can send a gong Tom's way.
It may seem strange, to ask for an old man to be knighted (or a gong of some sort) for walking round his garden. Look at it like this.
Dozens of unknown, high positioned bankers, lawyers, judges, etc (jobs for the boys club), get knighted every year, and for what? For doing their high paid jobs well.
Rarely people in low paid jobs who do their job well get a gong. The salary represents the so called skill of the job, not the fact that people in all jobs can't do them well enough for recognition.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We know lots of people want to petition for Colonel Moore to receive an honour, but the Government will only accept individual nominations, not petitions, so we can’t publish your petition.
