#86 - Lewis Brackpool - BBC Propaganda, Government Overreach and Media Distrust

Lewis Brackpool is an independent journalist and freedom of information expert investigating government overreach, censorship, and media manipulation. With a sharp eye for buried truths, he uncovers how the state embeds messaging into entertainment, stonewalls transparency, and shapes public opinion through covert influence. In this interview, we explore media collusion, the expansion of the surveillance state, the rise of the managerial class, and the bloated machinery of modern government. Lewis makes the case for radical transparency, smaller government, and a new wave of grassroots accountability.
