Incredible that even when the Tories talk about 'freedoms' its in an abstract sense, they desire to control from the top who benefits from that, lower and middle income earners are anathema to their ideology. Where there are grass roots, Tories prefer 'astro-turf' #ToryLiars
Tories have corrupted the British establishment, their 'wrecking crew' approach serves to erode the public's trust in Govt, a precursor to smaller Govt, why? So their 'freedoms' can be unleashed to curb academic independence, dismantle judiciary and annihilate public spending.
Once Govt policing has been neutralised, corporations will be free to self -regulate, this occurs when dark money is pumped into r/w think tanks who btw declare themselves as non-profit, that funding is also tax deductible. UK is in transition, a clean slate for the libertarians.
@iealondon was born of Hayek's views that 'scholarly institutes could wage a 'battle of ideas' but it would be imperative that no indications of political bias towards free markets be revealed or the public might question the charities motives. IEA London est 1955 and here we are

The Tories have been in permanent Campaign mode for over 12 years, endless promises that never materialised in reality. They rely on a heavily funded international militia of self financed business tycoons and oligarchs out to bypass legal restrictions and democracy itself.
In 1955 @iealondon was founded as a 'charitable' institute, it is a veritable paradox of democracy as r/w think tanks operate in the shadows, stealthily instructing Govt in advancing their true agenda of free market chaos, zero tax on rich and total abolition of the welfare state
67 years of r/w Libertarian ideology masquerading as a social science for public well being. Post Brexit UK now stands on the precipice of a total reconfiguration of the World Operating System to anarcho-capitalist ends. To fulfil this dystopian nightmare, democracy must collapse

Truth. Mogg/Tories calling #Partygate 'fluff' are useful distractions. Post Brexit master plan, accelerate destruction of the welfare state. "The future is disorder" Total autonomy from the oppressive constraints of Govt. 'A radical restructuring of the nature of Sovereignty'
The same tactics used in Leave Campaign expertly fooled the public via misinformation, rallying the far right and broke the law on spending limits. Johnson broke the law again by proroguing Parliament which Supreme Court overturned. Libertarians goal is to bypass democracy.
Partygate may help tip the moral outrage of voters at ballot box, but a dangerous pattern of total disregard for the law is unfolding. R/w Libertarians lobby/fund think tanks who masquerade as charities, most of this money is tax deductible.

Tories vindictive Rwanda scheme shows how little they value human rights. Post Brexit will see an avalanche of deregulation's that will ensure free market anarcho-capitalists choose how you live and how you die. You are nothing but a customer to them, devoid of all rights.
Want to protest? That's 10 years in prison
Your kids will be indoctrinated by strict curricula to not question the Govt's motives.
Your families will be in constant debt.
You will be forced into slave labour working for multinationals in appalling conditions in Charter Cities.
The water you drink and bathe in will be polluted, the food you can ill afford will be cheap imports pumped with antibiotics and carcinogens.
Wealthy will eat organic.
The elections you 'vote in will be rigged by IDOX. When your family gets sick, you will pay through the nose.

Be warned that while the Tories and their affiliated press barrage us with distractions, be sure they are quickly and stealthily re-writing laws that will render their onslaughts on public life, the rule of law as legal points of no return, with no means to hold them accountable.
It is clear that right wing tactics used from the1930's to the present day are copied and pasted into current UK Govt policy making and behaviour. A global network of +450 r/w think tanks comprising economists and multinationals are all focused on Individual ‘property’
A relentless pursuit of avoiding tax that otherwise goes into public spending. It is no coincidence that climate change denial has proved highly lucrative despite the damage it causes to the planet and a companies own workforce.

How does Parliament proceed when known criminals are in power? How do MP's and the speaker deal with that from now on? Would you want to go to work knowing your colleagues and effectively the CEO were guilty of crimes? You might as well say you work for the mafia. This is a coup!
Tories crossed the line...again. Parliament thoroughly degraded propped up by empty rituals, for the 1st time in British political history a PM and Chancellor broke the Law and won't resign, cowardly using the Ukrainian war as cover. Future of British Democracy is at stake here.
But sure, wave flags, allow it to continue, what's next I wonder? History shows what happens when despotic leaders craving power take over, countries collapse, wilful denying of empirical facts issue forth, a tsunami of corruption breaks the dam. Disaster capitalism is here in UK

Remember Brexiters rallying cries of 'Go WTO?'
Not only has the US blocked appointments, it has also threatened to block the WTO’s budget, which could force the body to shut operations entirely.

This is politically sensitive because other nations will bristle at the U.K. attempting to change their production processes. "Effectively, what you're trying to do is impose your production standards on third countries,” he explained. UK cakeism again.

Discriminatory trade practices, such as the UK ones challenged 28 March 2022, encourage the move of investments away from the EU, impacting the EU’s competitiveness in the sector and in general undermine efforts to address the climate crisis.
