Rejected petition Declare the unrest as official 'riots' so businesses can claim compensation

More details

I want the Government to officially designate the recent unrest as 'riot' so that businesses can claim compensation to help them re-open. It is vital that the country supports them as it is intolerable that so many livelihoods are under threat.
