Offshore companies which own Scottish land are breaking the law by failing to reveal who they really represent. Authorities aren't bothering to check.
The revelations come as the Scottish Government finally publishes full details of its meeting with Daniela Grudsky, after an FoI battle by The Ferret.
Over the last year, The Ferret has been investigating the so-called ‘culture war’.
We have looked at how disinformation and conspiracies have entered the mainstream debate around issues that have been dragged into the cultural conflict. We have also looked at the real world impacts of online discourse around misogyny.
As part of our investigation, we have highlighted links between organisations across the globe, and examined how populist groups and powerful think-tanks and funders are helping to spread ‘culture war‘ viewpoints in the UK and Scotland.
From the powerful think-tank behind Donald Trump’s presidential agenda, and the private university funded by Hungarian populist Viktor Orbán, to events, campaign groups and media organisations pushing agendas in the UK, we have mapped the way these organisations overlap and intersect.
To illustrate some of these connections, we have put together an interactive map highlighting how these groups connect and help to influence each other, and where the key hotspots are in Scotland, the wider UK, Europe and the US.
Tap on the arrows at the top of the map and read the captions to explore some of the global connections in the culture war.
