Allow the press to freely report on grooming gangs which are becoming too common

What the petition asks
Since the arrest on Tommy Robinson for reporting on grooming gangs and subsequently leading to all media being deleted afterwards I want to put a stop to this. Freedom of press and free speech is a pilar of our society, without it we have a totalitarian fascist country.
