Like George Galloway on RT and Talk Radio this show is being investigated by UK broadcasting regulator Ofcom. I can’t go into detail except to say their enquiry may conclude with this and other programmes being taken off the air – with fining of BCfm charity’s management board and may ultimately threaten BCfm’s licence to broadcast.
I produce one of the only radio programmes outside London that presents independent foreign news and comment – and one of the only investigative programmes left in the UK. So if we suddenly vanish from the airwaves – you know why…

Beginning his working life in the aviation industry and trained by the BBC, Tony Gosling is a British land rights activist, historian & investigative radio journalist. Over the last 20 years he has been exposing the secret power of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and élite Bilderberg Conferences where the dark forces of corporations, media, banks and royalty conspire to accumulate wealth and power through extortion and war. Tony has spent much of his life too advocating solutions which heal the wealth divide, such as free housing for all and a press which reflects the concerns of ordinary people rather than attempting to lead opinion, sensationalise or dumb-down.

NOT The BCfm Politics Show 
Inside the Integrity Initiative, the UK gov’s information war on the public w/ David Miller PhD , Bristol England (E32)
UK gov’t tries to fine journalists out of existence (UK Column VS ATVOD, Ofcom)
Ofcom controls what people should see – UK’s myth of freedom of press
Rumours are that the Integrity Initiative filed these Ofcom complaints. If true, with taxpayers money, that would be politically explosive.
