Hold those of public influence accountable for hate speech.
When someone of public influence, such as a TV Presenter, politician, councillor, news editor, etc. spreads hate speech, it legitimizes that hate speech, especially when they are not held to account. This puts people at risk of abuse. Something needs to be done about this.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
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.
Speech that incites hatred is already a crime. We're therefore not sure what further action you want the UK Government or Parliament to take. If you believe a crime has been committed you should report it to the police. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
