Enact a new Bill of Rights with an amendment to guarantee freedom of speech

Petition Details

On leaving the EU, we need to enact a new Bill of Rights to replace the HRA. Britain needs a new constitution and one that enshrines the right to freedom of speech without fear of persecution from the State. Free speech is the cornerstone of a democracy, we must guarantee it in law.

Additional Information

European Convention on Human Rights
United Nations Declaration of Human Rights

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. If you want the UK Parliament to create a freedom of speech act, you may wish to sign this petition instead: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/203615
