*The UK public think we do not have a free press*

Extinction Rebellion has been accused of an “assault on the free press” for our action at the Broxbourne, Glasgow & Knowsley printworks on Friday. But how free is our “free press”?

YouGov investigates...

Less than half of adults in the UK agree that we have a free press.

YouGov Poll:

When given information on the ownership of our press, half of adults in the UK think we don’t have a free press, without this information a third of adults in the UK actively say we do not have a free press.

When you talk about freedom, you mean freedom to lie to us & exploit us, freedom to deny the truth, freedom to avoid scrutiny, freedom to bypass democracy.

We want freedom from the climate and ecological emergency #WeWantToLive #FreeTheTruth #FreePress #FreeDemocracy
😂Everyone knows the press isn’t free - we haven’t had a PM that wasn’t backed by #Murdoch for 40 yrs.đŸ’© Do you care about the citizens of this country and how many will die as a result of the #ClimateEmergency - or are you really that out of touch? #FreeTheTruth
We haven’t limited access to the news, everyone can read @thesun & @DailyMailUK online. Have you read your own @theCCC report about how you’re failing to meet your own climate targets? That’s the news we all need to read #FreeTheTruth

My letter about the #CEEBill in today's @TheScotsman:
On 1 September, MPs returning to Westminster will be met by citizens calling “We want to Live!” They plan to remain in protest until the house agrees to debate the newly-published Climate and Ecological Emergency (CEE) Bill.
Who are the “we” who want to live? Are we climate migrants, today forced from our homelands by conflicts born of famine and drought? Are we islanders, long grieving and angered by the devastation of rising seas, dying coral and unprecedented storms?
Are we children the world, over in our lifetime facing insufferable global heating and societal collapse? Or are we all Earth’s species, whose fate – mass extinction or eleventh-hour salvation – now lies in humanity’s clumsy hands?
