This is an extremely interesting topic for any student of media. The UK print media seems filled with hate and fear and is forcing a very narrow ideology on the people of the UK. How can UK business place pressure on these institutions? THEY CAN REMOVE THEIR ADVERTISING.
LEGO'S decision is extremely interesting.
