So Some Politicians Do Have a Conscience
Petition
We, the undersigned are unhappy with the declining standards of tabloid Journalism in the United Kingdom and petition the government to implement changes in the law that will ensure greater responsibility and accountability therefore integrity.
We believe in freedom of the press but have grave reservations concerning corporate media concentration and the lack of varied dissenting voices holding power accountable.
Totally independent press regulation is now a must, not self-regulation or governmental control.
We believe in an automatic right of reply for all citizens misrepresented by the press in the UK, as libel proceedings should not only be a preserve of those who can afford it.
We believe the size of any apology or correction should be of the same size and same prominence as the lie.
We believe there is, a crisis of trust in the print media in the UK. This must be addressed now as our human rights and our democracy is suffering as a consequence.
