We must remain vigilant, not only in the context of these events but in the wider context of ensuring that our own identity is retained against a climate of global pressures of communications and also against the continuing trend of consolidation of media ownership in large conglomerations of huge, powerful players who can be more powerful than Governments. In that regard, our membership of the European Union is critical. We have the power and the authority to ensure our culture is protected and when events such as this occur, we are able to act to make sure the trends do not go against us and that our communications companies are protected.
