Rejected petition punish newspapers for knowingly publishing incorrect figures through heavy fines

We will never see the £350 million a week figure promised to us by the leave campaign. It is absolutely astonishing and disgraceful that we are being lied to and presented with knowingly incorrect figures by both newspaper and politicians with no punishment. This has to stop; sign the petition now!
