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
verfassungsblog.de/the-danger-zon…
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'

Labour MPs, Mayors, councillors, Lords, and Baronesses are sitting members on a cross-party alliance of Freeports consortia spanning 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
If you look at council websites where Freeports are mentioned, you will get the glossy brochure version, these councils won't even mention the Special Economic Zones currently engulfing the entire UK, the MSM are quiet, the public have no idea what's happening, the councillors themselves are clueless, yet these seismic changes will negatively impact ordinary peoples lives for the next 25 years.
This is Brexit, a deceitful and cruel experiment in libertarian exit from democracy. I absolutely despair.
Deep dive on all things Freeports and Special Economic zones here, their history and why these zones have been resurrected by the Tories, and backed by Labour.👇🏻👀
BlackRock has sought to position itself as an industry leader in environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG). It has been criticized for investing in companies that are involved in fossil fuels, the arms industry, the People's Liberation Army and human rights violations in China Where do you suppose Blackrock's interests lie now Britain is being rapidly privatised because of Brexit?

PORT LABOUR IN THE EU
'Despite signs of considerable improvement in the past decades, scattered data suggest that the port worker continues to have one of the most dangerous occupations in the entire EU economy'
Do you understand why the TUC and RMT are against Sunak's Freeports?
Do you know that the Labour Party are referring to Sunak's Freeports as ports in their GE campaigning?
transport.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2…Image
Brexit is about capitalism without democracy, it is economic freedom that depends on political disenfranchisement. In the UK human labour is now effectively an entrapped domestic workforce, it is a required necessity in Cons and Labour's 12 deregulated Freeports and 74 SEZs. That same workforce is a result of corporate coercion working with neoliberal politicians to inflict pain and desperation as the public sector is absorbed into the private sector.
Each SEZ and Freeport spins a narrative of 'fragile zones of freedom' under siege from the regulatory state that oppresses the purity of unfettered capital accumulation.
Labour and Cons are a unity party who have betrayed social democracy. It is time for a seismic challenge to take place across the world, we must form new parties and break away from this toxic corporate imperial order.

An Oil Baron Wants to Build Over a Local Park for His ‘Green’ Energy Project
Locals are taking him to court.
@novaramedia A 'port' is publicly owned, the 2 Freeports in Cromarty Firth, and the Firth of Forth are privately owned and fall under corporate governance.
Hydrogen, is not a green energy source which is why it is beloved by the fossil fuel industry since much of it is extracted from natural gas. Nigg is just one of 18 Special Economic Zones spread across Scotland.

SEZ chaos hits Torry in Scotland.
Aberdeen councillors yesterday voted to back the leasing of St Fittick's Park for an energy transition zone in the face of strong opposition from Torry residents.
Campaigners gathered outside the Town House to protest the decision, which divided the chamber with the Labour group voting in opposition and the SNP, Liberal Democrat and Conservative groups in favour.

Our main parties continue to exchange petty insults, playing the blame game while shredding public trust, and confidence in our democratic political system. This pantomime will get worse as the GE approaches.
We can no longer depend on the MSM to tell us the truth of what is going on behind closed doors. There are reasons for this subterfuge, corporations are dictating the terms.
It again falls to independent grassroots organisations to reveal what's actually happening, they are the ones who are exposing the rampant corruption. Please support them.
We must challenge politicians on all sides who are complicit in reducing the public to being mere spectators of their own fate.
We must demand public participation in decision-making processes that affect the lives of the majority of people in the UK.
We must insist that our representative MPs close the revolving door of big donors and prevent them once and for all from shaping policy to create wealth for themselves, their friends, and families.
The consequences are plain to see as austerity policies ravage towns, cities, and the environment.
The public sector, and the councils that are supposed to provide services are being privatised and bankrupted, it is all by design and down to Brexit.
What comes next is terrifying, corporate governance in 86 Special Economic Zones that are tax-exempt for 10 years.
Each of Sunak's 74 SEZs and 12 Freeports must be publicly owned and publicly governed, otherwise, the UK can forget rejoining the EU.
Brexit allows the UK Govt to give State Aid (public money) to companies of their choosing, this is illegal in the EU because it distorts markets creating an unlevel playing field, which sabotages rejoining.

‘States exerting power on behalf of corporations in SEZs’.
The most lucrative line of business is between corporations and the Govt.
The UK Govt is working to help companies enforce their rules and private laws within 86 Special Economic Zones, and this is tax payer funded. The cannibalisation of all our resources is stealthily underway, and the zone (being a complex subject) camouflages its agenda with culture wars. Watch @kennardmatt discuss corporate welfare in the form of State Aid (public money), SEZs, and how the obstacle of social democracy has been removed to pave the way for corporate hegemony. #BrexitDisaster @novaramedia

If you are not shocked at the huge amount of corporations waiting in line to extract resources, pay no tax for 10 years, enjoy SEZ status for 25 years, receive tax payer's money to the tune of billions to subsidise them, introduce appalling work standards, ruin local communities, collapse, and absorb councils and public services, set up private security, private banking, money laundering, drugs, weapons trade, human trafficking, modern-day slavery, stolen art in 12 deregulated Freeports looking to expand into the surrounding zones, some of which are 75km in diameter then you are either an anarcho-capitalist or you are asleep.

Q - What's the difference between Special Economic zones in the UK and SEZs in the EU?
A - SEZs in the UK are tax havens
A - SEZS in the UK are deregulated
A - SEZs in the UK are experiments in corporate governance
A - SEZs in the UK are privately run
A - SEZs in the UK distort competition
A - SEZs in the UK allow the Govt to give State aid (public money) to companies of their choice
A - SEZs in the EU, none of the above europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/155707…
Where is all this going?
Gove introduced Compulsory Purchase Orders in his Levelling Up Bill last Ict 2023, CPIs apply to business, agricultural, and residential properties.
Private equity is making aggressive incursions into the public sector as engineered insolvency bankrupts councils, and public assets are sold off.
