I can see no legitimate reason for curtailing this freedom of speech and campaigning right and urge the Lords to accept Lord Harries' amendments.

Yet another disgraceful trick to bring the working man down, no voice, no legal aid, no access to justice.. is this really the England we want to live in?

Please protect freedom of speech and the right for charities and alternative organisations that make the world a better place, to be heard. This bill is an unacceptable threat to democracy and freedom of speech. Let people become informed and make their own decisions.

The Lobbying Bill has been widely denounced as a 'stain' on democracy - it has been criticised by the highest levels, including at the UN. The government must listen and support Lord Harries' amendments on Wednesday.

this bill is the worst of all possible worlds. It hampers those it should help and does nothing to stop the abuse of corporate lobbying. A system of lobbying which is destroying what vestiges are left of our democracy.

There can be no democracy without the ability of the public and charities to raise discussion on matters of importance.
