The media in Britain is “a raging furnace of right-wing provocation, spitting out lies, fear and spite, shaping a political culture of miserliness and insularity”.

The descent of the media in this country, and of wider public discourse has been a running theme of this publication for over a decade. The recent failure and flop of new far-right broadcasting projects, despite vast sums of money being poured into them is not the subject of celebration. Talk TV and GB News have been disasters, but some have argued this is not because their views are out of line, but because their views are everywhere.

There are seemingly no controls over these people who get to shape ‘the narrative’ towards their own bizarre outlandish ends. Ofcome is useless. The politicians are scared of standing up to any of them and have allowed them – over decades if not longer – to utterly dominate the landscape of British politics. If you want to know why the far-right is making such inroads in Britain today, you need look no further than the media ownership as mapped-out above by investigative journalists like Geoghegan and writers like Nesrine Malik.
