Do we really believe that British institutions like these are so weak they will be damaged by comedy?\r\n\r\nPlease could parliament take the time to reconsider this law and give some of our talented comedians the same freedoms other countries have.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2014-02-13T21:55:24.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:29:44.340Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:43:32.061Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2014-02-13T21:55:24.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":"This is a matter for the House"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
