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 understand that you are concerned about the reporting of recent fuel shortages, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Decisions about investigating alleged offences and prosecuting these are a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or House of Commons. We can accept petitions calling for new offences to be created, but it's not clear what action you want to be made an offence.
