Rejected petition Do use Leveson to destroy press freedom

More details

Implementing a statutory control over the printed press and newspapers will mean the politicians will have control over the media. This is against the fundamental priciples of free speech, it means only messages considered 'balanced' can be printed and will leave the country without a free press or the means to scrutinise any one with any power to see wh3ether and how they misuse that power.
