Rejected petition Uncensor the Daily Show

More details

Recently a clip from the Daily Show (the American satirical news programme) was censored and banned in the UK. This was simply down to the fact that they showed a clip from the house of commons in a satircal environment and so for some reason this was deemed wrong and inappropriate.
Whoever made the decision is a fool and the rule needs to be changed.
