Alex Hicks has launched this petition. I’ve just signed it. The suppression of freedom of speech over the last 3 years has been one of the most shocking manifestations of government overreach in our lifetimes.

Here’s the full text:

Open an independent Public Inquiry into Ofcom's guidance on broadcast standards during the coronavirus pandemic. This should consider whether this guidance prevented discussion of concerns about vaccines, and whether that resulted in unnecessary injuries or deaths, or symptoms being ignored.

Sign the Petition

Guidelines from May 2020 suggests that broadcasters take particular care when broadcasting “statements that seek to question or undermine the advice of public health bodies on the Coronavirus, or otherwise undermine people’s trust in the advice of mainstream sources of information about the disease”.

This may have made broadcasters less likely to broadcast content of experts and whistleblowers who were critical of Government policy on the vaccination rollout.

We believe these guidelines also create barriers for victims of vaccine injuries to make their stories heard.
