“Narrative is everything” was the central message of Lord Carlile’s inaugural lecture as an Honorary Professor of Swansea University (pictured above) on 21st March. The talk, entitled “Counter–Extremism and Counter-Terrorism – Are They the Same?” was delivered to a packed room of students, lecturers and University grandees. We attended as researchers of the connections between different […]

2017 was a stupendous year for outing abusers hiding in plain sight. That’s the convenient trope to convince the masses that change is on the way, that corruption hiding in plain sight, à la Savile, will be uncovered, exposed, and dealt with. But of course that’s tosh because exposure is relative. When collateral damage is […]

A broad theme of World Press Freedom Day 2017 is the interrelation between freedom, justice and the rule of law. ANM continues in our commitment to exposing what we’ve come to call “over-thereism” on press freedom, i.e. threats to free-speech happen in other countries not in good old Blighty. That’s the kool-aid, but a sizeable and […]

Section 40 – Can Anyone Be the Fascist Press?
18 Jan , 2017
Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013 consultation is over, and what a feast of misrepresentation, negative tropes and shouty non-sequiturs it has been for “The Press”. Anyone arguing in its favour is just naive, apparently.
