Stop the Daily Mail from exploiting the Philpott children's case for political purposes
We the undersigned petition for press regulation.
A few hours after the Philpott verdict, the Daily Mail is already exploiting this tragic and heartbreaking case to attack the welfare state in the UK.
We believe that the Daily Mail's headline 'Vile product of welfare UK' is an insult to the memory of these poor children. It is also completely disrespectful to the many loving and caring parents/carers in receipt of state benefits in this country.
Such headlines are misleading and unacceptable.The public is entitled to know the truth.
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:
There are laws about press content already in place.
