Chris Wright

I’m a firm believer in having difficult conversations, of not speaking in “an echo chamber” and in challenging the status quo in the interests of moving the dial forward…. So, last night I finally got to meet Patrick Christys in “real life” after years of doing many many interviews with him on his show for GBNews ….. and I will always be eternally grateful to Patrick for his constant support and for giving me a platform to raise awareness , but also for setting up his fundraiser for @TMOFCharity The Maggie Oliver Foundation last year which transformed our team as it allowed us to bring onboard more desperately needed staff. It was their 5 year anniversary Birthday celebration party last night transmitted live and I was thrilled to be part of it. I firmly believe that @gbnews (through their willingness to allow difficult conversations to be held freely) have undoubtedly been a key part of raising awareness about the huge failures in our country to tackle the “Grooming gang” national scandal. When others were reluctant to address it and allow these difficult conversations, I was never once censored by the team here, and that was very rare! MSM has been very heavily censored and is often used as the “mouthpiece” of Government, police, cps and the establishment. I’ve learnt that from huge experience navigating these conversations, and seen how police in particular have blocked stories by threatening to ban certain media from press conferences if they don’t “toe the line”!! I think other platforms are finally now beginning to open up though and see the direction of travel, but 5 years ago every interview I did was a tightrope! And although we still have a long, long way to go to see a criminal justice system that puts victims/survivors at its heart, people power with help of media like @gbnews is what will ultimately force the government to act! I firmly believe this! It’s a daily battle, but no one can do this alone. We need to spread awareness, educate the masses about where the failures and corruption lie, and the only way to do this is through communication, the media and other platforms. It’s sometimes been a very lonely journey, so it’s great to feel part of an ever growing movement that cares about change, and I will not rest until we see these changes in action! Thankyou again @patrickchristys @gbnews @michelledewbs @MartinDaubney @cristo_radio @adambrooksmedia @nanaakuatv @bevturner_thatsme and all those who came and spoke to me last night. Worth the journey from hell on 4 trains/tubes to get there and back lol!! 🤣 @PatrickChristys @GBNEWS @MichelleDewbs @beverleyturner @cristo_radio @EssexPR @Nanaakua1 @MartinDaubney
