Now for all my socialist friends that still believe the Mirror is left wing, look at who truly controls it, not the Editor, nor the Mirror Chief Executive, for the Mirror itself as part of the Mirror is majority owned by three financial companies.
M&G Investment Management, Aberforth Partners, and Lombard Odier Asset Management.
M&G are made up of several types of shareholders. ¹
Top Institutional Holders
Hargreaves Lansdown Asset Management Ltd.
The Vanguard Group, Inc.
Silchester International Investors LLP
Norges Bank Investment Management
M&G Plc Employee Share Scheme
Artemis Investment Management LLP
Top Mutual Fund Holders

Vanguard STAR Funds – Vanguard Total International Stock ETF
Vanguard Tax-Managed Funds – Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF

Why is this relevant? You may well ask, but consider that these are simply the share holders of one of the three main holding companies of The Mirror Group, look at each of the companies, trusts or holdings, how many are in the business of truth? How many of these share holders put morality before profit? What do any of them bring to one of Britain’s main media companies beyond their huge investment on the stock exchange?
So the shareholders are not actually interested in providing you truth, they are interested in profit. Now we all realistically know this, so nothing new, and we know the Trusts, holding companies, hedge funds and shareholders all play a gamble upon the stock exchange, but we also know that they intend to make the most profit for the least risk. That is absolutely how they operate.
Thus is where the boards come in. Those with the most to lose or gain have the biggest say. So, its the majority shareholders, these big three organisations, financial organisations that choose who run what. Now M&G have more than one chief executive, they have a global CEO who is a guy called Andrea Rossi, his background is financial. He specialises in asset management, but also remains a non executive director in a firm he set up in 2021 reducing environmental impact in manufacturing. He likely is the life and soul of any party, but I would not know as I am unlikely to ever socialise with humans such as him.
So basically he offers no journalism experience, he does bring a kind of environmental morality to the table, if you believe he set that company up for any reason other than pure profit.
So if Andrea has a boss, who is that?
Well the Chair of the board of directors is another man, this time with a nice title, in point of fact a lawyer with the title of ‘ Sir ‘. Now that seems familiar. This Sir is not a Keir, he is Sir Edward Braham.
Good old Sir Ed is a lawyer, but very much with a background in finance. This includes a current position as a non-executive member of HM Treasury and its Audit and Risk and Nominations Committee. There really is no position ever that could be more ‘Establishment’. When we talk of ‘The Establishment’ he truly is at its core.
I would lay odds that although he has different legal specialties than the current Establishment PM, they are more than acquainted, my personal thoughts would be that Sir Ed could very easily be one of Sir Keir’s British puppet masters. But what would I know, that purely is conjecture and supposition upon my part, m’lord!
Now we know that at least one of the three major shareholding financial institutions that own the Mirror, very much has the interests of ‘The Establishment‘ not ‘The Masses’ at heart. Yes they want to make as much profit as possible, but if there os the added benefit of being able to influence a major media outlet with pure Establishment propaganda, well they would beyond stupid not to do so, and no one can ever claim The Establishment are stupid!
Now M&G do not only invest in the Mirror, they are huge shareholders of the following
Meta Platforms, Inc. (META): Parent company of Facebook and Instagram, representing a core holding in their global portfolios.
Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL): Parent company of YouTube and Google, heavily exposed to digital broadcasting, video media, and global advertising.
Microsoft Corporation (MSFT): A top holding for M&G, heavily involved in gaming media through Xbox and Activision
They are a big part of those who choose who sits as CEO, they have influence as to the direction, terms, conditions, and in my very humble view how the information these platforms provide is censored and controlled.
To uncover this info took me an afternoon of my life, I did not need to leave my chair (other than a loo break or two), simply using Google gave me access to all yhe info I needed to draw my own conclusions.
Bear in mind that The Mirror is only a small part of the propaganda machine that give us the knowledge that The Establishment and its minions want us to have.
People will always discount or trash such views as I hold, claiming conspiracy theories or even questioning the mental health of the authors of such ideas.
It is however at least ironic that so many ‘conspiracy theories’ have recently been proven to be based upon or even completely factual and true.
20yrs ago we never would have thought anything like the Epstien files would even exist, never mind derail so many rich, powerful or celebrity names, and certaonly we would not have thought such abuse would have been perpetrated by names we respected. When Bill Cosby was outed the world was shocked, but now every day far mor prolific offenders come to light, yet are ignored by the media, maybe this article may have some thinking for themselves and understanding why? I can hope.
