Impose restrictions on television advertisements for charities

What the petition asks
Restrict advertisements for charity on TV on the grounds that there are too many adverts for charities on TV and they can amount to emotional blackmail.
TV advertising takes up too much of the commercial space on TV, and the high number of advertisement for charities means people can end up watching too many adverts for charities showing the suffering animals and children. These days few commercial breaks are free of them and in the space of a few minutes we can have several charities trying to get people to sponsor their cause.
