Rejected petition Support the Guardian and other newspapers in revealing the facts about the use of Executive power to the British people.

More details

This petition seeks to ensure that the Government recognises the responsibility of the Third Estate to bring to light and question acts by the Executive and Legislative branches of Government whenever and howsoever the Government acts in a way that may be deemed counter-productive to the common good of the citizens of the nation. Thus maintaining the principle that If a newspaper or media company reveals something that is embarrassing to the State the State has a responsibility to answer the charges against it without resorting to new laws or interpreting old laws in such a manner that the spirit of the laws are not breached.
