petition to shut down Hope not Hate website
This is an e-petition to the Houses of Parliament to force the closure of the website of Hope not Hate run by Searchlite and funded by the Daily Mirror, an article was published on the said website depicting 7 charity walkers as far right extremists just because they wore Knights Templars costumes, the purpose of their walk from Bridlington to Blackpool was to raise funds for a young lad with Luekemia. Please sign this petition. Thank You.
The name of the Charity Event was Crusade for Joe, and has a Facebook page of the same name.
We would like to see the Website closed down and the Management and Reporters reprimanded.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The vast majority of the UK ISP industry takes a responsible approach to what content it hosts, both of its own volition and in co-operation with law enforcement and Government agencies. Where the industry is advised that content they host contravenes legislation, they will readily remove it. In addition, ISPs have contracts with their customers called good practice Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs), which they have recently strengthened, about what may be hosted on their servers.
Complaints about a particular website’s content should first be directed to the site’s manager. Most AUPs already contain a general clause which allows ISPs to remove sites or content which contain offensive or objectionable material, even if it is not illegal.
