Who is funding this conspiracy theory newspaper?

Who is funding this UK conspiracy theory newspaper? Flicking through the pages of The Light, Marianna is drawn to the adverts that populate its back pages. After the face-to-face encounter with the paper鈥檚 editor Darren she has more questions for the people involved in funding the paper. The advertisers.
