Petition Make it a criminal offence for a politician, Civil Servant or any member of the Media to tell lies to the Public

More details

We need a change in the Law to stop people in authority from telling Lies to the public, many citizens are disenfranchised from politics and much of this is due to the distrust of Politicians, civil servants and members of the Media lying to them. This law would put these people on an equal status with all other citizens as it is an offence to tell lies to the government or their departments..
