I am an 80 years old semi-retired gardener in Kent, and web developer. And apparently the only person in the UK willing to take on the right-wing media machine — because nobody else seems to care enough to do it.We have a very large group of alleged 'patriots' in the UK who believe patriotism is based on the divisive views of a far right MP, much lauded by the same media as being probably the next PM if there were an election "tomorrow" and get away with it.
With hardly enough media left to explain what an **absurd statement to make, thus proving how dangerous one-sided political discourse is to the democracy of any country. With around 90% of all printed and digital news printed by this group in the UK, this simply becomes a daily exercise in brainwashing the public.
**All trustworthy media know the rules surrounding calling an election are: Minimum time between calling an election and polling day: 25 working days. This is the legally required campaign period between: the dissolution of Parliament and the day people vote as set out in the Electoral Administration Act 2006**
This fact alone shows how destructive the 3 Multi-Billionaire's media should never be trusted, and should never have been allowed to create this monopoly of news by the government - without citizens permission.
Even worse, reports presented to the Conservative government, beneficiaries of this group's bias, in 2023 predicted this danger in detail. These findings were described as “dangerous levels of concentrated ownership” in multiple public reports.3 years later we are all living with the consequences.
Never was this truer: “When billionaires own the news, the news serves billionaires.”
What can be done:
I don’t have multi-billionaire backers. I don’t have political donors. I don't have any donors apart from my wife, I don’t have a PR team. I don’t have a newspaper behind me. All I have is a lifetime of experience, a working brain, and a belief that if ordinary people don’t stand up now, the UK is heading into a really dangerous future - and sooner rather than later.
Because here’s the truth:
? Despite clear evidence of extreme media concentration and repeated warnings from respected civil-society groups, academics, and press-freedom organisations, no major media organisation has publicly addressed or disputed the findings. The silence underscores the urgency of renewed public scrutiny and stronger protections for citizens’ information rights.
This predicted problem, created by 'money' allowed by the government, abused by biased media, has only one realistic solution.
It was created by multi-millionaires - therefore it must be solved by multi-millionaires, because wealth rules in the UK - everything follows from that wealth.
? A media system that promotes right-wing leaders without challenge is a threat to the UK’s stability, fairness, and security. Not because of ideology — but because unchecked power always leads to abuse. And right now, the UK media is almost entirely unchallenged.
I have started a crowdfunding campaign to at least continue this fight until UK citizens care enough to create a more honest unbiased alternative media to overpower the powerful media's bias Click Here
The UK has around 20,000 people with £10m+ and fewer than 200 billionaires. Not one of them is funding a challenge to the right-wing media machine. It is my hope that some of these care enough and will?
