Rejected petition Rename Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park to "Officially Authorized Opinion Corner".

After the removal and banning from the UK of Martin Sellner, who was due to speak at Speaker's Corner. We believe that Speaker's Corner should be renamed to "Officially Authorized Opinion Corner" to reflect the authoritarian nature of the country and the limits on the Speaker's Corner.

More details

Speaker's Corner has been under duress for a few years now.

Speaker's Corner is located in Hyde Park, London. Speaker's Corner, officially founded in 1872, has played host to some of histories most famous political activists, from Karl Marx and Lenin to George Orwell. Speaker's Corner was itself born out of the struggle for civil liberties, we believe the government needs to be reminded of what they are limiting. Renaming the corner will show what we've lost.
