More sauce in Pot Noodles, keep Aaron Ramsey at Arsenal and wall off Birmingham: The bonkers petitions which voters keep sending to No10
WACKY Brits are lobbying the Government to change the McDonald’s menu, fix Facebook’s logo and keep Aaron Ramsey at Arsenal.
No10 has been inundated with bizarre petitions from voters calling for totally impossible outcomes.
The outlandish suggestions made by the public include walling off Birmingham from the South, and abolishing Parliament to put the Queen in charge.
The policies are among the thousands of petitions sent to Downing Street which have been rejected because the Government could never actually deliver on them.
One demands that large Pot Noodles should come with additional sauce – the Brit who set it up said: “Sick and tired of king-size Pot Noodles coming with regular sauce sachets? Sign my petition to make change!”
Another food-related petition calls for Creme Egg McFlurrys to return to the McDonald’s menu.
FOOTIE FOOLS
An Arsenal supporter wrote to Theresa May last month asking her to step in and block Aaron Ramsey’s transfer to Juventus.
He stormed: “Arsenal fans are in disarray. As nothing official has been stated/signed we need the Government to intervene.”
A different footie fan called on Newport County to be kicked out of the Football League because they’re based in Wales.
And a music fanatic said BBC 6 Music should be forced to play My Sharona by The Knack on the grounds it is “unarguably the best song ever”.
A civil servant responded saying: “You might like to write to the BBC to make this suggestion.”
Another of the rejected petitions demanded the Facebook logo be changed back to what it used to be.
And one said there should be a wall outside Birmingham to stop the South of England meddling with the rest of the UK.
MOST READ IN POLITICS
A petition submitted three weeks ago said: “Abolish Parliament and establish an absolute monarchy.”
But the Government replied: “We can’t accept your petition because we aren’t sure what powers you would like to be transferred to the monarch.”
Any British citizen has the write to petition Mrs May, but impossible demands are automatically rejected by officials.
