So journalists under report actions of white racists, so as not to offend those poor little snowflakes. This aides the rise of white nationalism, deliberate and intended consequences. Or am I reading this incorrectly? www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

#UK: Good news for press freedom ✊🏿 The Investigatory Powers Tribunal found that former BBC journalist Vincent Kearney had been subject to unlawful surveillance. The tribunal ordered the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the MI5 to pay £10,000 each in damages. @nujofficial.bsky.social

It’s a prime example of how News Still Matters - if investigative journalists hadn’t dug into the Farage bribery stuff, if news editors hadn’t kept it at the top of the headlines, and if politics hadn’t felt forced to act upon it, the national picture in the UK could be potentially quite different.

Lobby/politics journalists in the UK realising they're going to spend the next few years frequenting a random branch of The Slug & Lettuce in central Manchester

What's not mentioned? It wouldn't be the pressures and threats over reporting genocide, would it? Or The Guardian's self-censorship, maybe? www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j... 'It’s also time for social media companies to finally recognise their responsibility in preventing the abuse and harassment.'

'UK journalists are self-censoring stories about Trump and the right over safety fears’ Government-backed investigation finds risks are normalised amid ‘a narrowing of the public conversation’ ' BROWN SHIRTS RULE?? www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

'100s of journalists from the UK have anonymously disclosed increasing nervousness over their security. Some have reported avoiding or altering coverage on certain topics due to intimidation, leading to self-censorship and “a narrowing of the public conversation”. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

“Anti-immigration protests were most widely referenced by journalists, both regarding the in-person risks of attending the marches and the backlash to any subsequent reporting.”

Worrying. But the formation of the National Committee for the Safety of Journalists a positive thing, as is their report. Let's hope it will have the strength of the law behind it to be effective. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

Israeli arms firms threaten journalists at UK airshow Amid the Gaza genocide, Farnborough airshow invited Israel’s three largest arms firms. None wanted media scrutiny www.declassifieduk.org/israeli-arms...

UK is run by a London based Right Wing led Media Sofa mob.This creeps into all Journalists even on Guardian & certainly most sofa TV broadcasters on most channels. For elites the idea of £2 fares is so,so remote. From start they've undermined Andy in our 'most unequal regional country' in W. Europe!

"UKLFI has repeatedly sought to silence criticism of Israel through complaints, legal threats and regulatory pressure, targeting journalists, academics, artists and media organisations." the uk silences dissenting voices using its laws. djt has nothing to teach the british about political repression
