This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The government cannot legislate about what is 'insulting' as that may mean different things to different people.

there are, however, currently debates in the public arena about what constitutes freedom of speech.

Complaints about what is in the media can be made to the Independent Press Standards Organisation, and they will consider each case.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
