Thinking about why Tory constituencies have 10 times the amount of Govt funding than red wall ones. I believe Post Brexit the UK will birth Charter cities that are self regulated, meaning they can choose how their taxes are spent, in the Tories hands this conveniently transforms
into all out attacks on the public sector/welfare. Home rule allows local political and interest groups increased freedom from state supervision and interference, paving the way for corporate take over and more privatisation. Disaster capitalists aim to shake off the oppressive
constraints of democracy and need well off Tory voters support, those who are tired of paying taxes to help the public sectors struggles. The more constituencies the Tories have and the more cash is funneled into them from the tax payer, a chain reaction
will occur whereby entire counties can join together under a charter and decide not to fund poorer nearby areas, ultimately they can divest themselves of big Govt and rely on local Govt instead. A hyperserviced state will sit parallel to a failed state, I think post brexit
is actually more to do with establishing smaller Govt so the wealthy can absolve themselves of helping the poor and thoroughly ignore plight in neighbouring cities. The mass subcontracting the Tories have been doing fits the clean slate that Brexit ushers in once outside the EU.
Division of the UK is not just left and right, it is between rich and poor, the public and private sector, between international relations experts and vulture capitalists, between morality and total greed, protecting the environment and greenwashing companies, all during crisis.
The rich and powerful are sowing chaos and profiting from disaster, the Tories obsession with economic growth fits every lie, every smear, every celebration and every cut back they cruelly inflict on UK citizens, Covid deaths, poverty, austerity is mere collateral damage. #GTTO
Seriously, Mogg is the UK's angel of Death, blind faith in Brexit ideology, below his quote on 'shining cities' from Reagan, a right wing Libertarian Charter City project free to make its own laws and abolish welfare state. V.BAD.

Like ERG/CRG/Net Zero Scrutiny Group run by Steve Baker, Charter Cities will operate like a state within a state. Idea is to create enclaves that write their own rules in all business matters, labour regulation - anti-corruption codes“Using laws as services that companies demand”
Special Economic Zones (SEZs) enclaves in which exporters and other investors receive tax, tariff and regulatory incentives—create distortions within economies. This the Tories post Brexit nightmare/vision. The 1% waging war on it's own citizens. #GTTO

Babson Global Inc’s Competitiveness and Enterprise Cities Project (CECP), headed by Shanker Singham, has created an end-to-end package of products that take an Enterprise City from concept and feasibility through to regulatory framework creation (starting with a blank slate),
asset management and city operations. The Competitiveness and Enterprise Cities Project team calls it a World Operating System. Babson announced Singhams project in 2013, Post Brexit deregulation has begun in earnest, the next two years the Tories
have announced a £25 billion tax incentive for corporations. I despair that the opposition parties are not covering this massive tectonic shift, the singular most tumultuous hostile takeover of the economy in the history of the UK. A monetised coup firmly in place.
This is why the Tories are partying! They cannot believe their luck, Brexit and the cherry on top, Covid 19, disaster capitalist manna from heaven. Truss's 'Global network of Liberty' the freedom to rewrite laws that reward the rich and punish those less well off. Wake up!

There is a name for how Govt's shamelessly profit and subcontract to multinationals during times of crisis, it's known as Disaster Capitalism. Treachery, betrayal, plundering of tax payers money, demonising of the other, endless deflection, lies, partying, criminal negligence,
democide, the transfer of public money into private hands, your punishment is what keeps the champagne flowing. Your families well being discarded for pure venality, the public sector is total anathema to this Govt, Brexit+Covid=Goldrush for the Tories. #unacceptable
UK tax payers, please read! You're being taken for mugs, the Tories have scrounged your money and given it to companies...in China!

Tories attacks on the disadvantaged cannot conceal their endless subcontracting scams with taxpayers money, next 2 years £25billion goes to corporate tax incentives. Yet these breaks will absolve corporations of improving public services. Those less well off are made to pay 1/1
as this Govt continues its course of cruel punishment of the welfare state with cuts on UC, fuel/food price hikes causing soaring energy bills/hyperinflation. All during times of crisis, in the past people used to pull together, now Tory populism and greed cause division 2/2
and resentment. This is a grotesque state of affairs where the contrasts between rich and poor widen on an almost daily basis. The Tories show no remorse followed by empty campaigning promises that never see the light of day. They believe they are special, that they deserve 3/3

The UK in free fall bouncing of cliff rocks and what do the Tories do? Blame France, blame ardent remainers, pour fuel on the fire as it rips through morality, decency and democracy itself, burn it to the ground, scorched earth policies, military rhetoric, demonise the 'other'
This is government by economic violence, extortion and torture, punishing tax payers, lashing small business owners, flaying the environment, loan sharking and picking the bones of the left behinds. The clean slate will not be without pain, only those with genius will survive.
When rule of law is dismantled, when institutions directors are replaced with right wing Govt appointees, school curriculums altered to stifle debate, when the NHS is clapped 1 minute then pulverised the next, it dawns that Tories are celebrating the end of the UK as we know it.

Post Brexit turmoil will see privatisation run riot over all public sectors. The cost of living crisis will not see the public as beneficiaries of a caring socially minded Govt, the opposite will be true as Tories unleash their Global network of Liberty; 'freedoms to pillage UK'
Crisis is not something the Tories have the slightest desire to mitigate, it is fuel to be poured on the fire, the gains they envisage all too real, an economic violence that shareholders, CEO's, multinationals are queuing up for. Taxation is for losers, there is no society.
Take what you want and to hell with those who didn't possess the genius to capitalise on the clean slate. Rebuilding from the ruins of Brexit will only be subcontracted to the wealthy. Local small business won't have a leg to stand on and will fall victim to corporate interests.

Lexiter Larry Elliott talking piles of sh*t again
Johnson vaccine rollout ignores that of 30m jabs in UK, 13m Pfizer imported from EU, 5m from India+non-trivial amounts from NL. UK only provided 20% of its 68m pop.
@BylineTimes please expose Elliott's BS.
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
His article perpetuates division and Euroscepticism, it glosses over tips of economic icebergs and proceeds to use 'confirmation bias' when in reality the negative impacts of Brexit unfold into a panoply of multiple shocks induced by disaster capitalist libertarian tactics.
He also completely ignores the Govt's party within a party (Steve Baker's NET Zero Scrutiny Group/ERG/CRG) and it's extensive connections to hundreds of far right think tanks from ATLAS, TPA, Cato, IEA aka Truss's 'Global network of Liberty.' Elliott should be fired. @guardian

UK under Johnson is testimony to decades of economists unleashing disaster capitalism on stable country's, as deregulation ratchets up, so privatisation increases its stranglehold on public sectors. All those billions gone to waste is an hors d'oeuvre compared to what's coming.
As Frost & Truss belch out their 'Global network of Liberty' ideology now would be the right time for the MSM and all opposition parties to step the f*ck up and expose what that entails exactly, its nothing to do with freedoms for you and I, much more to do with Libertarians
wreaking untold havoc and misery on the left behinds, on the welfare state, on the very lives you lead. The reshaping of an entire economy is no small task, it is an operation that requires calculated implementation. Operation Yellowhammer is actually closer in reality to what's
