Disaster capitalism and super-elitism. A 🧵 Let’s examine what is happening. Energy prices are out of control. An absent government. Brexit. Systematic corruption and plundering of the nations assets. NHS being made to fail, inflation out of control.
Workers earnings deliberately eroded and driven down over 12 years; citizen and workers rights taken away
Massive increases in Executive earnings. Huge payouts to shareholders…whilst some people in employment require state benefits and in some cases food banks to survive
Lots of dynamics all coming together at once. But is this a deliberate strategy being played out by the real masters behind the veneer of UK government? #ERG
Capitalism and Chaos. The chaos is being deliberately created by the current #Tory government.
If things are allowed to spiral out of control, mass business closures and unemployment will surely follow
And mass bankruptcy and home repossession is inevitable. This is what the disaster capitalist and the elite see as opportunity
Our national assets all gone. Utilities, Rail all sold off to vulture capitalists. Foreign owned, and all asset stripping via dividends.
Under investment in the nation’s infrastructure; no national energy security; our freedoms as citizens deliberately taken away (Brexit) with more sinister consequences to come (ECHR)
And when all this culminates into a depression, the vultures will swoop. The elite will control everything. Enforced poverty is coming. No job security, no earnings security, no financial stability, poor or non existent healthcare.
We are sleepwalking into Third World status where survival of the fittest is all there is #ToryFascists
And it’s clearly deliberate. Just look at the pantomime of the non existent UK government and the charade being played out over choosing the next #ERG puppet who will create more deliberate chaos #ToryLeadershipFarce
In Scotland we have limited powers in our devolved parliament to mitigate small amounts of the current chaos.
🧵 a no to yes journey, the consequences of Brexit and get us out of here @theSNP
In my younger days I was a ‘Global Scot’; an entrepreneur; I commuted to London weekly (30 years); travelled the world on business and genuinely thought the UK was better together. I voted No (to my shame now) in 2014.
Then Brexit was discussed. And worse, it happened and I’m now firmly yes #ScottishIndependence2023 The fall out from it is only just starting. International companies before 2016 saw Scotland (and the UK) as an easy route to doing business throughout the EU.
