It's here, the far right ERG Tories wrecking crew unleashed their total f*cking tits up libertarian free market fundamentalist bollocking of their own Leave/Remain citizens livelihoods. Holy sh*t
‘What have we done?’6 years on UK counts the cost of Brexit theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
Mogg has no intention of monitoring the economic effects of Brexit. “I’m not going to make those sorts of assessments because lots were made before the ref and they are all bilge"
Q -Who in their right mind would go along with this kind of denialism?
A -The ultra-rich that's who
It is completely bonkers-If you can’t ship your goods to the biggest market, you are shooting yourself in the foot-Our growth stopped 5 years ago-70% of turnover was international before Brexit. It went from 70% 50% to 30%. We would be twice the size now if it were not for Brexit
Brexit is not a headache you can take a couple of paracetamols for, it's a permanent migraine under the Tories restructuring of sovereignty.The Tories will lie and lie until their libertarian free market, f*ck workers rights, f*ck the environment, f*ck welfare state is reached.
Decades of r/w libertarian ideology behind Brexit
Friedrich Hayek The Road to Serfdom 1943
Ayn Rand The Virtue of Selfishness 1964
Murray Rothbard Power and Market: Government and the Economy 1970
James Buchanan The Limits of Liberty 1975
Self interest over constituents interests
There is no serious political opposition to this, economists like Milton Friedman and James Buchanan aided by the Kochs birthed over 450 right wing think tanks around the world, it took years for their radical ideas to dictate Govt policy, look at the US, UK's turn now. I despair
The Tories like the authors of those books and Rees-Mogg snrs 'The Sovereign Individual' 1997 have been stealthily implementing their revolution behind the mask of populism, it's tactics honed from anarcho capitalisms playbooks, divide and conquer and make billions on the way.
John M. Keynes’s ideas about need for Govt intervention in markets to protect people from flaws demonstrated by the Great Depression held sway. Buchanan's anger at what he saw as a move toward socialism was deeply suspicious of any form of state action. His question>
'Why should increasingly powerful Govt be able to force the wealthy to pay for goods and programs that served ordinary citizens and the poor?' Libertarian oil/property magnates happy to be Govt subsidized but want to abolish welfare state and and enslave workers, no joke. #Brexit
Suppress voting/protest, rewrite laws so a normal majority can no longer win, sow public distrust of Govt: tactics to give free markets total autonomy beyond Govt reach. Brexits libertarian mission is to save disaster capitalists from democracy, hence the clean slate/rogue state.
The Tories want nothing to do with Govt as an equalizing system for all but are ritually abolishing debate and democracy itself so the ultra rich can trample on just about every law that protects and regulates society. All those authors mentioned above pushed for this ideology.

Two thirds of Labour supporters voted Remain yet Labour doggedly appeasing the one third that voted Leave. Labour are a Pro Brexit party, no debate, no consideration of untold damage to UK infrastructure, they are embracing the oligarchs revolution, the libertarian clean slate.
Federal Trust’s new project -Brexit Can Be Undone. Prof Andrew Blick “Rejoining is the only satisfactory means of addressing the manifest problems caused by Brexit.” The opposition parties operating in self interest not their constituents, 'Govt' an obstacle to anarcho capitalism
Brexit will destroy what's left of public services, the UK will become a shareholders paradise, Govt will shrink, laws rewritten. Post Brexit will see rise of modern day slavery in charter cities and freeports, a not in my back yard approach to austerity will seal 'home rule'

Dishonesty has replaced Govt debate on Brexit.
Keir Starmer, how can he say with a straight face: “There is no case for rejoining”? Apparently Starmer does not wish to offend the third of Labour supporters who voted Leave – just the two-thirds who didn’t!

Federal Trust’s forthcoming project 'Brexit Can Be Undone' As Prof Andrew Blick of King’s College London article on the project: “Rejoining is the only satisfactory means of addressing the manifest problems caused by Brexit.”
But, experts eh? #BrexitHasFailed
Indifference to 'how things are' hallmarks of perpetual BS from Labour & Tories both in total denial of the Brexit wrecking ball. Sinister stealth tactics from Buchanans 70's 80s oligarchic revolution are playing out in UK politics, an obscene billionaire anti democracy movement.

As public outrage at the cost of living crisis breaks families apart with spiralling debts, prospects of eviction, illness, stress, hunger and being silenced and/or imprisoned for speaking out about where their hard earned taxes go, the tories aggression increases at pace.
12 years of punishing Tory policies reach new heights of cruelty. As Mogg’s deregulation of 1,500 EU regs advances in militant fashion, Tories current policies as ruthless as they are now will pale in comparison to what’s coming post Brexit for the average worker and those on UC.

You've got to ask why a constant stream of headlines about scandals is spoon fed to the public when there are serious changes being implemented that will punish most people on average pay and reward those at the top. The far right have never had it so good.
Tories making key changes to tear up EU regulations and put laws in place that will give corporate aggressors free market reign exerting a stranglehold on local businesses. Welfare state is being annihilated on your watch using your taxes. Post Brexit set to ruin citizens lives.
The Govt are doing a pretty good job of silencing and demonising experts across all fields, they have a majority right wing press paying people to stir up division just so the Billionaire Anti Democracy Movement can benefit from Mogg's deregulation killing spree. #BrexitDisaster

What an absolute total cock up, at the end of the day the UK is at the bottom of the barrel with Russia on trade recovery, maybe this was the Tories treacherous plan all along? Economic self harm leads to war.

'Access to distant markets and scarce resources, imperialism, concerns about the impact of economic interdependence and population growth have been the most common economic causes of the outbreak of international wars' Join the dots people.
‘Greed’ and the exacerbation of ‘grievances’ are considered to be the main motivations for internal conflicts. Mercantilism, a pernicious right wing agenda hungover with imperialism and colonialist frontier capitalist aggression, UK has caved under Brexit

Brexit never added up to me, reclaiming Sovereignty, taking back control, etc. I wanted to know what was really going on, what was behind the headlines, I started researching, I came across @bakerstherald and checked out his website, alot of info that made my head spin.
Slowly it began to sink in, I started reading books by Naomi Klein, Jane Mayer, Nancy MacLean and Peter Geoghegan. Noticed certain terminology not used in msm/press; libertarianism, disaster/frontier/anarcho capitalism, charter cities, freeports, etc ran through these texts.
Many names invoked; Friedrich Hayek, James Buchanan, Grover Norquist, Dr.Barbara Kolm, Peter Thiel, Matthew Elliott, Ayn Rand, Koch, Palantir, Milton Friedman, Rees-Mogg snr, ATLAS, CATO, AEI, Heritage, Mont Pelerin, IEALondon, ERG linked to right wing libertarianism.
