Petition Abolition or Reformation of the Press Complaints Commission.

More details

The PCC's impotency has been demonstrated numerous times over the last few years (e.g. Max Mosley, the McCans, Christopher Jeffries), culminating in its inability to control the recent phone hacking scandal. It is time for a genuinely independent regulatory body to take control of a industry which is rapidly deteriorating into a vicious and destructive influence in this country.
