Petition Prohibit legalised theft by con artists.

More details

Vulnerable people are being systematically targeted by con artists which is condoned by the government.

If any thief is caught, they suffer the consequences under normal legal action. Why are the thieves who pretend to receive message from the dead freely permitted to steal from feeble-minded people?

The so-called "harmless" psychics, astrologers, tarot readers et cetera, are causing damage to vulnerable people and perpetuating myths in the minds of young people. Whilst anyone should be permitted to believe in anything they want, no matter how stupid, people should surely be educated not to believe in things which simply do not exist.

The government should raise a law which prohibits these thieves from advertising or performing.
