Country Squire Magazine in the UK and India are part of a wider collection of online and offline publications with a reach of over a million users per month.

They are owned by an offshore trust named WMG, based in the Caribbean.

Due to the litigious nature of the guilty in the United Kingdom, and the bias of the defamation courts (New York has protected its citizens from the UK Defamation Courts), the owners of the Country Squire brand and associated publications decided that offshore ownership was the most suitable. This follows the trend of other British publications including The Guardian, Order Order (Guido Fawkes’ blog), the Mail and Telegraph.

The person of significant control is understood to be one of Country Squire’s founders and the Editor of Country Squire UK (since 2016), Dominic Wightman. Wightman is a trained journalist but states his fulltime occupation as ‘banker’ following his appointment in May 2024 as President of an international bank.

The political bent of the Country Squire publications is conservative. This seems unsurprising given that the magazine’s original three founders are Jamie Foster (a countryside solicitor who was a Director of the Countryside Alliance), Jon Alexander (a Conservative Party member and prominent social media promoter of conservativism), while Dominic Wightman also openly calls himself ‘Tory’, is a Conservative Party member, worked for two Conservative Ministers as an intelligence adviser and authored a book titled ‘Conservatism’ in 2024.
