Ownership of our newspapers
According to the Telegraph, the government has plans to introduce legislation that would prevent foreign governments owning UK newspapers and magazines - that would stop the UAE from buying the Telegraph and the Spectator.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/03/13/government-ban-foreign-state-ownership-newspapers/ (paywall).That would be a good start, but how about a law that stopped all foreign-based individuals from owning British newspapers - like the Mail (owned by Lord Rothermere, who lives in a mansion in Monaco and actually identifies as French) and the Times (Murdoch, originally Australian but currently American and lives all over the place)?
