Closed petition Ban paid protesting

We want paid protesting to be criminalised. We think it is insincere, immoral, and is little more than an act of paying people to create public nuisances, antagonise current protests and falsely sway public opinion.

More details

We want companies paying protesters to be investigated, heavily fined and/or shut down. We also want the penalty for paid protesting to be heavy fines and/or a custodial sentences.
