Investigative Journalism – A Revolutionary Act
Tony will be looking to explore subject areas such as the Iluminati, considered taboo by the mainstream media nowadays and to attempt to explain how we have come to the situation where the ‘scribes’ in our national media are so tame, that the whims of the super rich have distorted the view of the cultural life of the nation.
To identify some of the key groups used by the shadow government also and explore possible scenarios and solutions to this financial and social crisis.
About Tony
Tony was born in Gravesend, Kent in 1962 and brought up in Bromley, South London. He ended his formal education at Ilkley College in West Yorkshire with a Humanities degree, specialising in English Literature, from Bradford University. After working for a few years in the family aviation business Tony decided to have a go at radio journalism.
Volunteering at the GLC funded Radio Thamesmead (now Time FM 106.8) in South East London Tony eventually became their full-time volunteer editor of community programmes.
RTM applied for, and got, an FM licence from the Radio Authority but as part of the financial deal manager Bob Smith took many of the best presenters off the air. Tony therefore left in 1991 for a researchers job at Greater London Radio, the BBC’s station for London.
In 1992 Tony moved to BBC Radio Solent as a reporter and then on to BBC Wiltshire Sound, where he worked as Salisbury reporter, relief presenter and documentary maker.
When Wiltshire Sound had a ‘cash crisis’ the BBC decided they no longer required Tony’s services. Tony moved to the Lake District where he took a year out then moved to Oxford where he got involved with environmental campaigning, volunteering at The Land Is Ours helping to organise land occupations in the mid to late 1990’s.
After moving to Bristol and getting into investigative journalism Tony helped establish i-Contact video network and Ecovillage network UK. Tony spent a year on the National Executive of the NUJ and eight years as Secretary, then Vice-Chair of the Bristol branch of the National Union of Journalists until the 2009 AGM when he resigned from the Bristol executive.
Tony joined the Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers, in June 2005 and he delivered his first lecture on the Seventeenth Century Illuminati in October 2006.
Since Easter 2009 Tony has produced and presented Friday Drivetime, the weekly politics show on Bristol Community FM which gives a provincial perspective on the news ‘in Bristol Britain and around the world’.
Tony is also a regular contributor to RT
