UK Column founder and co-editor Brian Gerrish tells his powerful story of how he felt compelled to set up UK Column after uncovering fraud and corruption in his home city.
After leaving the British Royal Navy, Brian embarked on a life in ‘civvy street’ setting up his own business. However, he soon realised life in the UK was not what he thought. He felt compelled to expose the fraud and corruption he saw around him, and UK Column was born.
It was not an easy journey — backlash and threats followed — but Brian documents the coincidences and synchronicities that drew him to this path and kept him on it for the last 20 years.
