Rejected petition Repeal the UK Parliamentary footage law so we can laugh at our MP's.

Jon Oliver presents a successful and occasionally funny television programme in America which discusses political issues of the day and pokes fun at politicians the world over. Unfortunately, when he uses footage from Parliament he is prevented from airing this in the UK only. This is very silly.

Really, really, really silly indeed. Proper stupid.
