UK is fast heading towards a parallel of US evangelical libertarianism. Disenfranchisement of 'unsuitable' voters, suppression of working classes, limited access to educ, ruining local communities by savage spending cuts and environmental devastation (shit in rivers/coastlines).
The billionaire anti democracy movement & it's donor network has galvanized +450 r/w think tanks extreme partisan libertarian ideology which has its roots in early 20th century when Fred Koch sold crude oil separation techniques to Stalin and Hitler in the 1930s. #Libertarian
Economists Hayek, Friedman & Buchanan advised hiding their radical agendas in newly formed think tanks like the IEA, Heritage, Mont Pelerin CATO etc as they knew their proposals would not be accepted by the public and bring unwelcome focus on charity status of these think tanks.
UK is 5 mins behind US not 10 years due to accelerationism; an intensification of fatal right wing political strategies all part of the drive towards the evangelical Anglosphere achieving global dominance, it is replete with anti critical race theory & seeks to end democracy.
Tory hopefuls all shit, each one exemplifying Darwinian political system of self interested individualism above egalitarianism. Their 'low tax' mantra echoing key tenets of libertarianism; eg 'tax is theft of property' which is why Tories are allergic to wealth tax/welfare state.
Tories r dismantling UK's judiciary, rewriting Human Rights Act, stifling protest, deregulating 1000's of EU laws designed to protect citizens/workers rights. Holding corporations to account, ensuring they pay fair share of taxes, protecting the environment is anathema to Tories.
My thread on the despicable world of the ERG who will install a law breaking hard Brexit libertarian lunatic to inflict further economic terrorism on a public battered by Brexit and Covid, they need those corporate lawless charter cities fast.
Post Brexit will see the rise of lawless charters which Sunak, Romer, Thiel and Mordaunt are busy planning with frequent trips to the US funded by the tax payer. The ERG was formed 29 years ago, their endgame move is in play because Johnson proved too soft for their ideology.
I don't understand why this doesn't shock the public into all out revolt & why the opposition parties & msm aren't advocating & showing the public an alternative to the dystopia the Tories have been steadfastly building for decades. Post Brexit hell will be unleashed with new PM.
My🧵on Brexit Freedoms Bill & how it will accelerate the establishing of right wing charter cities in UK. This is a monetised coup, the most ruthless foreign multinationals are queuing up for chunks of your lives where you and your family will be customers for generations to come
@AnnAubert3 article on Charter Cities, please read and share, above all understand how serious the threat is to human rights which Suella Braverman and Dominic Raab are busy destroying so this dystopia can be fully realised.

Your lives are being undone for foreign corporate takeover. Think the cost of living crisis is bad? Wait til Tories set up their Darwinian system; exclusion of the poor from their privately owned cities with brutalising commutes under modern day slavery

'Quasi sovereign units located within existing states, which would be maintained by a foreign guarantor nation or nations establishing a legal and political system autonomous from the host state' @fslconsult This is happening right now! #BrexitReality

Do people understand what happens when a country trashes laws it helped write to protect workers, the environment, policing bills/the judiciary itself? Mogg's bonfire of EU regs gives powers to ruthless corporations to make their own beyond Govt reach!
Charter cities can be good and they can be very bad, it depends on what sort of Govt is in power. Tories are busy preparing right wing lawless cities where ordinance is bypassed on building low income housing, 'Home-rule' on steroids, this won't cure poverty, it hides it away
In 2010 Tax Payers Alliance was already salivating at the prospects of eviscerating 'basket cases like Hull, Liverpool and Tyneside' where laws can be remade for shareholder values while abolishing welfare and moving poor voters to slums. Enter Brexit

When people like Penny Mordaunt talk of a 'big money pot' for Tory constituencies, they will use it to keep the riff raff out, that's average working people born and bred in those cities being pushed out. A Neo Colonialist fiefdom with its own judiciary.
That's total privatisation, Charter Cities with own laws, eg Peel Group Liverpool, DP World London & other sites already being bought up. Private Healthcare, indoctrinated education, security forces, brutal commutes to work for slave wages in Mogg's 'cities shining with commerce'
