Jim Ferguson Author

Jim Ferguson is an independent journalist, documentary filmmaker, businessman and founder of Freedom Train International, an independent media and international freedom network focused on free speech, national sovereignty, government accountability and the political decisions shaping the future of Western democracies.

Before moving more extensively into journalism and documentary work, Ferguson spent more than twenty-five years in business and entrepreneurship. His wider public experience has included work within the Chamber of Commerce movement and liaison with UK police on matters involving serious and organised crime, intelligence and counter-terrorism. He has also been active in British politics, standing for the Brexit Party in Barnsley East at the 2019 General Election, where he finished second with 11,112 votes.

Ferguson's journalism increasingly concentrates on questions that sit beneath the day's headlines: what governments are preparing for, what the law actually permits, how institutions exercise power, and where official explanations leave important questions unanswered. His work combines documentary research, interviews, public records and primary-source investigation with a determination to distinguish evidence from speculation.

Through Freedom Train International and his reporting on X as @JimFergusonUK, Ferguson has built a substantial international audience, including readers and viewers across Britain, Europe and North America.

Who Will They Put in Uniform? grew from a series of investigations into Britain's military manpower, Home Defence planning, the proposed new Reserve-style force, foreign-national recruitment and the difficult question of what happens if voluntary service is ever no longer enough.

His guiding principle is simple: difficult questions should be asked while there is still time to debate the answers.
