Rejected petition Freedom of the Press is Essential for Free Democratic Society

More details

Keep the freedom of the British Press - don't want issues being brushed under carpet like :-

Savile and Cyril Smith, MP's expenses scandal, Chris Huhne's speeding points, Arms to Iraq – 1990, Tessa Jowell Financial Scandal, Cash for Honours etc.

Laws already exist to regulate the press, when they fall out of line, there are big Court cases with huge damages.

Sometimes it is painful, sometimes the truth is unthinkable, sometimes they get it wrong, that's life!
