Billionaire Media Owners Ignore or Trash Students

The UK’s current concentrated billionaire media ownership structure is seriously biased against liberalism, freedom, human rights, climate and nature protection and either ignores or trashes the needs of students.

It is the number one threat to the future of humanity, with young people facing a horrific future if the billionaire media succeeds in destroying climate protection.

The Media Sovereignty Act will end media billionaire domination.

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 establishes the regulations and systems by which the United Kingdom reclaims, protects and enhances its media sovereignty for its nations and its peoples.

The Media Sovereignty Act:

  1. Bans foreign ownership of UK media[1].
  2. Bans the concentration of UK media ownership, e.g. by the super-rich and large corporations.
  3. Distributes media ownership across all sections of UK society[2].
  4. Protects people from media abuse by requiring all relevant media to be members of their statutory regulator.
  5. Requires all think-tanks covered in the media to report their donations in real time.

WHY Do We Need The Media Sovereignty Act?

In order to reclaim the loss of the British people’s sovereignty over our media, the Media Sovereignty Campaign has been established to pass the Media Sovereignty Act

Our British media has been hijacked by an illiberal international and national billionaire elite, which is causing havoc and destruction across almost every section of British society.

Our democracy, our environment, our climate, our human rights and our commitment to international law and institutions are being decimated.

We need a revolution in British media ownership.

We need to take back control of our media ownership for the British people from the authoritarian billionaire elite.

The Media Sovereignty Act addresses five key issues to reclaim sovereignty for the British people over our media:

  1. Our media should be free from offshore billionaire ownership
  2. Our media ownership should reflect ALL sections of society, not just be concentrated among the rich
  3. Independent, local and cooperative-owned media should be fairly funded via a levy on the giant social media corporations
  4. Britons should be protected from media abuse of power by fair regulation
  5. The British media should be freed from dark-money billionaire-funded think-tanks corrupting our media agendas

You cannot have a free and fair democracy if all media and political power is monopolised and bought by a tiny international and national billionaire elite.
