Protect the British press from overseas censorship!
The British press is facing arbitrary censorship and attacks from overseas medieval regimes that have already strangled their own press. Gulf regimes are employing firms to viciously target the UK media who report anything that they find unsavory.
The Times is currently facing legal action for reporting on activists anger after the King of Bahrain was seated next to the Queen at the 2016 Windsor Horse Show. The legal action by the King of Bahrain threatens to strangle their resources are freedom to report. Similar actions have been brought by the Government of Bahrain against the Independent, Guardian and scores of other media organisations for their free reporting. Don't sit and watch UK press freedom destroyed by overseas autocrats!
