British-owned Media for Genuine Democracy!
This campaign aims to get the Media Sovereignty Act passed by the UK Parliament.
It proposes the radical reclamation of sovereignty over the ownership of Britain’s media from the international and national billionaire elite that have hijacked it for their narrow, undemocratic, destructive agendas.
In other words, a radical and positive revolution in media ownership! A sovereign-owned media is essential for a genuinely free people and a fair, thriving democracy for everybody in the United Kingdom.
The Media Sovereignty Act: Summary
Bans foreign ownership of UK media.
British-owned means owned only by UK-domiciled persons or by a UK-headquartered company, all of whose owners or shareholders are only UK-domiciled persons.
Bans the concentration of UK media ownership, e.g. by the super-rich and large corporations.
The term ‘media’ covers national press, broadcasters and social media.
Distributes media ownership across all sections of UK society.
This would be done by imposing a Media Sovereignty Levy on large international social media corporations to help fund independent, local and co-operative-owned media organisations.
Protects people from media abuse.
By requiring all relevant media to be members of an independent statutory regulator.
