Now we jump ahead in time to the aftermath of World War II, because that is when the British socialist Labour Party gained control of the British government. But instead of creating an examination of the Crown corporation sole which in 1945 gave the Labour Party permission to form a government, it accepted the powers of the GPO, and used them to push the idea that capitalism is evil and that socialism is good. This attitude ruled out any idea of relinquishing the control of communications in the United Kingdom to wireless manufacturers and anarchistic radio listeners.
In 1949, Charles Orr Stanley, a Irishman by birth, a Protestant with his home still located in the Catholic republic, was head of the UK Pye Group of companies based in Cambridge, England, began to needle the GPO about licencing wireless telephones that Pye wanted to manufacture for use by ambulances. The GPO told Stanley that there were "no wavelengths available." This GPO lament became a recurrent theme over the years, and it was a theme unsupported by sciencific research.
In 1951, shortly before the Labour Party lost power the GPO circulated a memorandum accusing Stanley of making statements with "little if any factual basis" combined with "factual distortions".
During the Spring of 2021, our was published in a communications journal where it became the first, in what has now become an on-going part-work predecessor to this Online portal called the British Broadcasting Compendium. While the scope of this portal covers the beginnings of broadcasting in both the USA and UK, the monograph published in 2021 was a limited response to an earlier lecture scheduled for Saturday, October 25, 2014, about the 1964 origins of an offshore station called Radio Caroline. [Not to be confused with other unrelated stations using that name after March 1968.]
A cloud of mystery had been created back in 1964 as to who and why Radio Caroline had been put on the air in defiance of the British GPO which claimed an exclusive right to licence all forms of point-to-point communication.
