CAMPAIN stands for:
Campaign Against
Misrepresentation in Public Affairs,
Information and the News
We founded CAMPAIN in 2021 at sheer frustration about the poor media coverage of important topics. Issues such as BREXIT, refugees and asylum seekers, global warming and minorities are routinely covered in such a way as to skew public attitudes. Instead of helping us reach sustainable solutions, this exacerbates the problems we face.
While we aim to call out misrepresentation wherever and whenever it occurs, events beginning in October 23 keep us concentrated on Israel-Palestine. As Caitlin Johnson says: The West's support for Israel is the No. 1 threat to free speech.
Calling time on the Church of England's 100-year silence about the ethnic cleansing of Palestine (and British complicity)
Our members - a diverse bunch from several religions and none - are outraged. With 26 seats in the House of Lords, the CofE enjoys a privileged position at the heart of the British state, so it should be holding HMG to account,
We raised this issue in April 2023, in an Open Letter to Archbishop Welby. He would not enter into dialogue, but we persisted, and after 16 months he radically changed his tune. However, Welby has now departed, and the Church’s response to the situation in Palestine remains weak and inconsistent with the teachings of Jesus.
When we leafleted the Anglican General Synod of Feb 2025 (see image on right), Gaza wasn’t even on the agenda!
There is much more that the Established Church can do. It should lead Britain’s call for repentance.

Heroes and rogues of the British news media
We can count more heroes than rogues, but this does not mean British journalism is heroic. Most media misconduct is carried out silently, by journalists who self-censor or fail to publish stuff that challenges the editorial line of their newspaper or broadcaster. Here, we cite a few key examples that may provide insight into the British media scene.
We apologise to the many heroes we have not cited. Let us know your comments HERE (link to ‘contact us’)
