Stop the free distribution of The Daily Mail at UK airports.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

This arch-right wing newspaper frequently publishes xenophobic sentiment and as such presents a false representation of British values to visitors to our nation. Therefore it should not be permitted to be distributed free of charge at places hosting large numbers of foreign visitors.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
