Allow the Iceland advert about palm oil to be aired on British Telly!
The Iceland Tv advert about Orangutan habitats being destroyed because of palm oil has been banned from being aired on our tv screens, this is not right and the message should be public with this stunning advert
Tell the government that banning adverts like this is not acceptable!
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:
The decision was taken by Clearcast, who are a private organisation. They preclear adverts on behalf of broadcasters before they appear on television.

Broadcast adverts are covered by the UK Code of Broadcast Advertising. The rules on political advertising are the responsibility of Ofcom, and not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling for changes to the way advertising is regulated in the UK if that is something you would like to see happen.
