Think about what this petition is asking the government to do, it’s frankly ludicrous, even though I agree with the sentiment and the aims.
You’re asking the government to debate a potential law to outlaw foreign media ownership when the vast majority of media outlets in the UK are owned by foreign individuals or corporations (notable exceptions would include the BBC, Channel 4, GB News and a few newspapers like The Guardian and The Daily Mail among others). And what does “distribute media ownership” even mean in practical terms?
The truth is, >95% of everything ever posted as a Parliament petition is so far beyond the scope of what any parliamentary debate is even capable of quantifying, let alone writing into law.
