Grover Norquist is founder and president of Americans for Tax Reform who oppose all tax increases. He is also a board member of the NRA. He said "I don't want to abolish Govt, I want to reduce its size so I can drown it in a bathtub. He is pals with Matthew & Sarah Elliott, who
are also pals with Brexit loving Charles Koch who is making millions from fossil fuel mining and establishing climate denial green washing tactics around the world including the UK. Truss's 'Global network of Liberty' is brimming with free market libertarians and RW think tanks
The political and financial reach of these billionaire tycoons is staggering, they're against taxation, against welfare state and adept at smoothly ensuring their power perpetuates a never ending loop of societal pain & misery while they hoard their wealth and destroy the planet
Post Brexit, Rees-Mogg, Truss, Sunak the whole lot of them are mimicing US Chicago and Austrian schools of economics tactics to ultimately aim for smaller Govt, deregulation, tax avoidance and demolition of the welfare state. Disaster capitalism firmly in place for the UK #Brexit

Profiting from Covid and then partying about it is one facet of the Tories disaster capitalist agenda for post Brexit UK. Instability is the new stability for right wing libertarians the world over. Truss's Global network of Liberty is about the freedom to profit from disasters
big and small, environmental, financial, political, social, the more fuel is poured on the fire by multinationals and hostile foreign actors, the more those less well off will feel its impact.
Social media has been weaponised to spread disinformation and further stoke division, so when Twitter clamps down, Tory politicians move onto Parler, they constantly need panic and lies to sow outrage in the headlines spewed out by off domiciled press barons. Why?

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!

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

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.
