Did James Freeman Sell My IP To UK Column?

Did James Freeman sell my IP to UK Column, and are they being funded by China?

Since I began my journey to expose Stakeholder Capitalism as the root-cause of all the crises and societal changes since 2020, I’ve been met by considerable suppression from people in the freedom space. After recently getting my fingers burnt by the same person twice, I decided the best way to prevent this from happening is to share these interactions publicly.

I’d like to begin by sharing my recent interaction with the former head of the UK’s Office for National Statistics and host of The Freeman Report, James Freeman. Here is the full account, evidenced with messages.

In September 2024, I created a business plan for a new digital TV channel, Yellow.Live. “Free-speech” radio station, TNT, had recently shut down, and I was looking for an introduction to the station’s investors. I reached out to James Freeman, who hosted a show on TNT. James explained that he had the investor of TNT Radio’s contact details, and they were actively looking to invest in media startups like mine.

After working long seven-day weeks for two-years making the Stakeholder Capitalism series, I hoped this investment would provide the opportunity to continue my investigation, share the evidence widely and grow Yellow.Live.

James appeared excited about Yellow.Live. He asked me to meet with him and former weather presenter, Jemma Cooper, to learn more about my plan (see WhatsApp message below).

After our meeting, I contacted James to thank him, and he replied with a very positive message (below).

James then created a WhatsApp group with Jemma and I (see below).

Soon after I responded, James removed me from the group, which was strange given that he was enthusiastic just thirty minutes prior. James sent me the following message directly.

I never received a response from James about the reason for his sudden change in behavior, which left me wondering what happened and feeling unsettled. As I need investment to continue my work, I was advised to call James and try again.

I put my feelings aside and gave James a call this week. When he answered, I tried to address our last interaction, but James dismissed it. After explaining that I now have a pitch deck and news pilot ready to attract investment, I politely asked for an introduction to the TNT Radio investor. James agreed. He asked me to send the deck and pilot to him and said he would call me back the next day.

Two days after I sent him the deck and pilot, I contacted James, and he replied with two abrupt questions about my progress with Yellow.Live. After I responded, James blanked my request for a telephone call. I then called James the day after, and he never answered. I then sent James a message asking if he was free to speak, and he responded ‘I won’t be contacting any investors’. Again, he never provided a reason.

James Freeman positions himself as a leader within the freedom movement. One would, therefore, assume that he would be motivated to help me acquire funding to continue my investigation. As evidenced throughout our messages, I don’t think James intended to introduce me to the TNT investor. Once he acquired my business plan, James shut me down and accused me of being ‘too pushy’.

I’ve recently learnt from a reliable source that UK Column, who describe themselves as ‘an independent multimedia news website supported by its members’, have recently received considerable funding to create a TV channel, which has a plan that’s similar to the one that I shared with James and Jemma. I also understand that at least one of them have been given jobs at UK Column.

After acquiring my IP, I’m concerned that James and Jemma may have pitched it to UK Column, along with the opportunity for a large investment.

Upon further research, UK Column issued 20% equity, in January 2025, to ‘YMS Market Access Limited’.

A basic Google search shows that YMS Market Access Limited is a company registered in the ‘Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China’.

If you have seen my films and interviews, China is under State Capitalism, which provides authority to Xi Jinping and his communist government. As I’m exposing a shift to global communism and Xi Jinping as being a major Stakeholder under this new system, it would not have been possible for me to accept investment from a Chinese company; however, I’m concerned UK Column now have considerable funding and potentially my business plan. The job of getting my message out may have been made a lot harder, particularly as UK Column have never shown an interest in reporting the evidence that I have uncovered or inviting me on as a guest.

I’ll be documenting my experience with other so-called leaders in the freedom movement in my new podcast. If a strong freedom and truth movement is to thrive, the competitive, and often scurrilous, behavior needs exposing and rooting out.

Always remember - the mouse that comes second gets the cheese.
Try Declan Ganley based in Ireland for possible funding

Wow… That is terrible. I know how you feel. A very similar thing happened to me where I shared a business idea with a local person I thought was a friend. He was very interested and thought it would do well and he had contacts etc etc… and he would definitely be ringing me in a few days… That was back in the late 1970s and I heard nothing for a fortnight so rang him. He was cold and didn’t think it would work after all and not to waste my time. I later found out from one of my clients that he was promoting my ideas… All I can say is that with such lack of integrity, it is no wonder that the world has turned out the way it has.

Not that I’m going to read all the correspondence between you both but I would simple make an observation from
Your last comments.

Do you think they are simply feathering their own nests?
Do you think they are worried that you have done/ are doing more to honestly expose the real truth and they like to be the king of the castle?

This is truly shocking news. I met James Freeman a long while back, he seemed a very honourable person. However, money corrupts even some with the best intentions. So I’m sorry to hear this, I would like to think it not true, but I know one can’t believe much these days and has to trust instincts. So press on Richard your film is so valuable to the world. The truth will out.
