Let Iceland foods ltd 2018 Christmas advert air on tv
Iceland’s created a lovely Christmas advert but it has been banned before it reached our tv screens, because of the message it sends to people.
Well it shouldn’t have been banned it is showing people what they are doing to the earth and the vulnerable animals with in it.
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.
You can find their statement here:

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.
