Do you want a free press?
This coming Tuesday marks the end of the government's consultation on the regulation of newspapers. If 'section 40' of the Crime and Courts Act 2013 is implemented it will be a black day for investigative journalism, not to mention democracy. Max Mosley son of the fascist Oswald, is funding 'Impress' which could mean they oversee the press, and many of the appalling fiddles that newspapers have brought to public attention will be no more if this is allowed to go ahead.Newspapers don't always get it right but gagging a truly free press is the sort of thing going on in Turkey and Russia.Tell the government how you feel about the implementation of section 40 and the suitability of Impress as a regulator atwww.freethepress.co.uk
