Make it illegal for anyone to bully or harass people not wearing a face covering

Petition Details

I ask that parliament pass a law that makes it illegal for anyone to bully, harass, police or shame people for not wearing a face covering. We need unity not division.

Additional Information

There is clear evidence that some people are being bullied, harassed, policed and shamed by members of the public for not wearing a face covering.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. It is already illegal to discriminate people on the grounds of disability, including being unable to wear a face covering. We're not sure whether you want it to be illegal to ask people to wear a mask in any situation.

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