Get Tommy robinson out of prison and lock up the real criminals

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Reporting news shouldnt be a crime or how come we have so many reporters getting paid a fortune for sky and bbc which we pay for

Why it was rejected

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

This isn't something that the UK Government or Parliament could do. Sentences are the responsibility of the courts, which are independent of the Government and Parliament.

You could start a new petition asking for a specific change in the contempt of court laws, if that’s what you’d like to happen.
