Bear with me. In 1536 legislation was passed to deal with the impotent poor. The Poor Law System fell into decline until intro of Liberal Welfare Reforms and establishing of Trade Unions in 1906. Poor laws existed until 1967. Join the dots! #CharterCities

Omen of what's next post Brexit UK. 2007 libertarian think tank CATO Institute wrote a paper titled 'The Case for an Activist Judiciary to Secure Economic Liberty' "Judiciary may be the most important instrument for social, economic and political change."

Tories are in a deregulatory frenzy, 2 years will accelerate their fatal strategies across the entire infrastructure of UK society, 3rd country status, an 'emerging economy.' PEEL Group, DP World are frontier capitalists expanding their Freeports into lawless Charter Cities.

A totalitarian democracy is in the making post Brexit. Jacob Talmon - a system of Govt of lawfully elected representatives maintain the integrity of a nation state, citizens can vote but have little or no participation in the decision-making process of the Govt. Minority rule.

I'm worried by this, arch libertarian Tom Bell, who for years has been espousing radical reforms that dovetail into the running of entire cities or special economic zones under Polycentric laws written to favour private companies. tomwbell.com/writings/Juris…

Tom Bell 'Google can do experiments in private cities we can all learn from, might not succeed and that's a good thing, we want lots of experiments in economic governance, maybe we learn universal income doesn't work, did we consent to the nation state?'

Shanker Singham "We are looking at laws as services that companies demand” The oppressive constraints of democracy are incompatible with libertarianism. Welfare state must be abolished, this will push public sector workers into the private sector #Brexit

Social Darwinism>While property and wealth righteously insulate the ruling classes from the ravages of hunger and disease, the working class, as little more than beasts of burden for the capitalists and the landowners, should expect no such relief. Malthus

'T.Malthus advocated punitive measures of population control, he insisted on the futility of the rich supporting a “redundant population.” He demanded “moral restraint,” preventing the poor from having too many children, an end to the Poor Law system of relief for the destitute.

Liz Truss plans Bournville Houses, she is mad.
Employees who live in the town expected to maintain their homes to a certain standard, if you live within the trust’s management scheme, you have to pay a charge to the group. Charter cities coming!
