A PHANTOM NEWSROOM: HOW A NON-EXISTENT UK NEWS COMPANY CONTINUES TO SHAPE CARIBBEAN POLITICAL NARRATIVES


WIC News, a news organization that no longer exists under UK law, is still publishing political content about the Caribbean, publishing fake news about the content in the Caribbean, influencing public debate, and defending corrupt Caribbean leaders, and all whilst operating without a legally registered and existing corporate entity, thus effectively shielding it from defamation and libel claims.


According to official UK Companies House records, the corporate entity behind WIC News was struck off the register in Britain in 2022, which should have been the end of its operations, but it continued, in violation of the law. When a company is struck off, it is legally dissolved; it  cannot engage in a trade or business, publish, employ writers, receive funds, or represent itself as an operating business. Yet WIC News continues to publish articles online, maintain an active website, and circulate political messaging. 






Corporate filings show that three former Directors,DRAGAN PERKANOVIC, SAMUEL CHRISTOPHER HILL, and BENJAMIN PARKER, resigned years before the company was struck off. None were therefore responsible at the time of corporate dissolution, and none are publicly connected to the site's current activity. 


Despite this vacuum in corporate existence, articles continue to appear under the byline of MONIKA WALKER, for whom no further information is available. Is she a real person, an alias, or a fake name? No registered entity has claimed responsibility for employing, commissioning or publishing this purported journalist. Someone is paying for the domain, hosting the website, commissioning content, and disseminating political narratives, all while hiding behind the identity of a company that no longer exists.


This is no longer solely a question of political opinion; operating a media outlet under the identity city of a dissolved company raises serious regulatory and legal concerns, including but not limited to misrepresentation, unlawful trading, and probably violations of United Kingdom corporate and transparency laws. The matter has reportedly now been referred to the authorities within the UK, who will be tasked with determining who controls WIC News infrastructure, and what laws have been violated.


A free press depends upon transparency and accountability; a press that publishes without a legal owner answered to no one. This question remains unanswered: who is really speaking, and what are they hiding?  Which Caribbean leader that is the beneficiary of a CBI program is behind the website, and will the British authorities now investigate? I will be sending all this information to the appropriate US government agencies for their review.
