ORG Glasgow dinner with Adam Ramsay, Co-Editor of OpenDemocracy

INVESTIGATING THE OFFSHORE FAR RIGHT AND THEIR WAR ON DEMOCRACY

Over the last decade, revelations originating from WikiLeaks, the Panama Papers, and courageous whistle-blowers, activists and journalists have managed to shine some light on a previously murky world shrouded in secrecy, control and corruption. Some, such as Daphne Caruana Galizia in Malta, paid with their lives. Others paid with their liberty, their reputations and their livelihoods. A myriad of human rights breaches, torture, surveillance, derelictions of duty and rampant symbiotic relationship between governments and organised crime in many countries were just some of the tip of the iceberg shocking stories that have come to light. These have generated vast quantities of data now being analysed by data journalists across the globe.

The Panama Papers suggested that Frédéric Chatillon, head of French company, Riwal, had been sending money out of France through Front National leader, Marine Le Pen’s 2012 presidential bid. The downfall of Cambridge Analytica revealed the extent of the psychological mind manipulation tactics used in their political ad campaigns. In 2017, The Electoral Commission stated that Arron Banks, businessman and major financier of the 2016 Brexit campaign using offshore money to the tune of £8m, might have committed a number of criminal offences. He also spends vast resources and time trolling British politics.

How far do these tentacles of corrupt far right offshore money reach? What implications do they have in our accurate and balanced understanding of the world around us? How does that impact on our democracy and freedom?

Please join ORG Glasgow for dinner with Adam Ramsay, co-editor of OpenDemocracy UK, as he discusses his investigations into the dark world of the offshore far right and their war on democracy.
