Stop the Government’s lying adverts about the UK leaving the EU on 31st October.
The Government is spending many millions on adverts telling people to “get ready for Brexit on 31st October”. In reality there isn’t enough time to ratify a deal and “no deal” is illegal, forcing the Government to ask for an extension. This means the adverts are not honest or truthful.
These adverts are false propaganda designed to give the impression that the Government is getting on with Brexit by 31st October despite time and the law making this impossible. Parliament cannot hold the government to account due to the prorogue so this petition could illustrate further why Government acting without Parliamentary scrutiny is entirely wrong. Complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority could be ignored as this body doesn’t cover political matters.

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
