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'

I don’t quite believe what I’m seeing here, the disabled community having to go out and protest over a Labour Government’s decisions that could actually kill them. Image

Legislation paving the way for 10 corporate city-states in the US should be complete by the end of the year.
Zone Fever is here in the UK, but no one in the MSM or much of the Independent media is talking about the carve-up of Britain into patchworks of corporate sovereignties.
Reminder - Deregulated Freeports and SEZs are stepping stones to free cities.
theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int…
Inspired by the political philosopher Albert Hirschman, figures including Goff, Thiel and the investor and writer Balaji Srinivasan have been championing what they call “exit” – the principle that those with means have the right to walk away from the obligations of citizenship, especially taxes and burdensome regulation.
Retooling and rebranding the old ambitions and privileges of empires, they dream of splintering governments and carving up the world into hyper-capitalist, democracy-free havens under the sole control of the supremely wealthy, protected by private mercenaries, serviced by AI robots and financed by cryptocurrencies.

Trump and Blackrock move in on the Panama Canal.
The recent acquisition of key port infrastructure near the canal underscored this initiative. A consortium led by the U.S.-based investment firm BlackRock has secured control over critical maritime terminals in Balboa and Cristobal, which the Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison Holdings previously managed. The U.S. administration has viewed the $22.8 billion deal as a pivotal step toward regaining strategic influence over one of the world’s most vital trade corridors.
Panamanian officials have reiterated their nation’s sovereignty over the canal. President José Raúl Mulino has firmly stated that the ownership and control of the canal are not subject to negotiation. “The Panama Canal belongs to Panama,” Mulino affirmed, pushing back against external narratives suggesting otherwise.
Blackrock has also bought 3 British freeports, Felixstowe, Harwich, and Thamesport.
Keir Starmer announced a UK Govt partnership with Blackrock on November 21st 2024, the Sovereign Corporation is coming.Image

What @guardian and the entire MSM are ignoring is that a suite of tax reliefs including National Insurance Contributions for employers exist in the UK's 74 deregulated SEZs and 12 Freeports rolled out by Sunak and Truss, and are fully backed by Starmer's cohorts.
Employer National Insurance Contributions relief: eligible employers with a business premises in an Investment Zone tax site will be able to apply a zero rate of secondary Class 1 National Insurance contributions on the earnings of eligible new employees who are expected to spend 60% or more of their working time in the tax site. This rate can be applied on the earnings of all eligible new employees, up to £25,000 per year, for 36 months per employee.
The UK is being privatised under Zone Fever.

Somerset is mentioned in the Guardian article.
Below is Somersets Councils website trumpeting the deregulated benefits for companies siged up to their SEZ.
Enterprise Zones were created by Government to provide key sites for economic growth
and regeneration across England, supported by deregulation and financial incentives
attached to each zone. For businesses these incentives potentially include simplified
planning and access to fiscal incentives. In addition, local authorities with jurisdiction over
the area containing the Enterprise Zone are able to retain all the uplift in business rates
income generated by the site for a fixed period of time.

Wiltshire is mentioned in the Guardian article, Swindon is also host to three SEZs or 'Growth Zones' (which is a new one for me)

Donald Trump is not the only enemy of ordinary people, Starmer's changed Labour Party are inflicting disturbingly similar austerity policies on UK citizens' lives and livelihoods.
Rachel Reeves's and her entourage's neoliberal mindset knows there will be no growth under her disastrous fiscal policies, that they will translate to punishing rises in mortgage costs, that people will have to spend their savings to live, that there is no profitability in the UK for businesses, that the UK will be dependent on foreign capital, eg Chinese and Russian money will be sustaining the UK economy.
The myth of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) exposed👇🏻Almost all of UK industry is owned by the US.
This means Bits have to pay rent to access their own market.
Rachel Reeves and Jeremy Hunt's perpetuate the 40-year-old 'big lie' that is FDI - Foreign Direct Investment. Incoming investment has two forms: physical plants and new buildings OR foreign purchases from existing companies.
Politicians such as Reeves and Hunt are known to confuse the two forms under the rhetoric of 'economic growth and Britain being the best place in the world to invest'.
UK households will pay high interest rates to foreigners. The poorest will be bankrupted to make rich foreigners wealthier.
Since the 1970s FDI has paved the way for govt ministers to literally 'sell off the family silver' to US private equity. On top of that Starmer's embrace of AI is all about automation and destroying people's jobs. Lastly, Starmer picked up the baton of Sunak and Truss's 74 deregulated Special Economic Zones, and 12 Freeports, Labour MPs, Mayors, councillors, Lords, and Baronesses were active board members of the Tories nationwide SEZs/Freeports consortia. Labour signed off 86 regions of the UK to the likes of Blackrock, PEEL Group, DP World, Deloitte, Blackstone, Chevron, and many more malign corporations with atrocious track records in fraud, environmental pollution, tax evasion, human rights abuses, banning of unions.
The City of London, which is a charter city takes precedence over ordinary people’s lives and livelihoods. Rachel Reeves is panicking.

Starmer is building a Sovereign Corporation that despises, demonizes, and punishes the most vulnerable in society.
Starmer has handed over governance powers to 700 corporate lobbyists, where the Govt takes a ‘secondary position’. The public sector is being dismembered, people are going to die.
This is part of Zone Fever, an infrastructural attack that is currently installing 86 deregulated Free Zones.
48 SEZs and 8 Freeports in England
18 SEZs and 2 Freeports in Scotland
8 SEZs and 2 Freeports in Wales
Corporations in the 74 SEZs to receive £11 billion 840 million in State aid (public money).
The UK Government has invited corporations to set up and ‘rescue’ democracy from its failures.
Corporate power, corporate governance, and corporate sovereignty is going to eclipse the country, the UK is being privatized.
These are just some of the firms that have met with senior Labour figures over the last 12 months.
Blackrock, Palantir, Amazon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Fujitsu, Deloitte, PwC, EY, Google, The City of London Corporation, BP, Goldman Sachs, Thames Water, BlackStone, Telstra Health, Macquarie, Meta, SGN, EDF, Leonardo, BAE Systems, Cadent Gas, National Gas, Natwest, Virgin Atlantic, Abrdn, Barclays, Coinbase, The British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association, Bluebird Care, Edelman

Keir Starmer's changed Labour Party is now in partnerships with US Blackstone and Blackrock, two of the most powerful and criminally corrupt shadow banking asset management corporations on the planet. Blackrock and Blackstone own everything and believe corporate governance is the answer to 'removing the obstacle' of democracy and big govt.
Deregulation is God.
