The Greens were the biggest winners in the local elections, so why aren’t they getting fair air time? https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/05/07/the-greens-were-the-biggest-winners-in-the-local-elections-so-why-arent-they-getting-fair-air-time/
Proportionately, the Greens won most seats at the recent local elections, but they are denied airtime, and we get Reform instead. Why?
The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...

@RichardJMurphy the #Greens aren't getting airtime because, as you know, the owners of the British media (and I explicitly include the BBC) see the Greens as a much more serious threat to their status and privilege than #ReformUK.

@Kellys @simon_brooke for the exactly same reason of controlling the narrative. BBC is not the /a friend.

@jna @Kellys Aye. We, in theory, own the BBC; but in practice, the funders of the #Conservative party control it.

A co-op, completely independent of government with its director directly elected by its subscribers, would be a much better thing. The same applies to all other media, of course.

@simon_brooke @jna @Kellys the Channel 4 model works quite well as well.
