Petition Action

Repeal the UK Parliamentary footage law so we can laugh at our MP's.

Petition Details

Jon Oliver presents a successful and occasionally funny television programme in America which discusses political issues of the day and pokes fun at politicians the world over. Unfortunately, when he uses footage from Parliament he is prevented from airing this in the UK only. This is very silly.

Additional Information

Really, really, really silly indeed. Proper stupid.
