People in 'in-work poverty' using food banks; nurses, teaching assistants, factory workers, retail assistants, delivery drivers and hospitality workers.
This far right Govt despise their own citizens. Austerity as policy choice.

Tories are crippling the public sector to force people to work in the private sector for less money, with no Union representation and with zero rights and protections. These tactics are actual choices fueled by Brexit deregulation that are reconfiguring the UK to a rogue state.
Everything most people care about, support for health, social care, education, justice, and the environment is the polar opposite of Tory policy making, this is the radical rights ideological agenda made flesh. #EnoughIsEnough #GeneralElectionN0W

One of the rights biggest hurdles is to sway the intellectuals/college educated to their ideological form of governing. They failed many times over the years, but here's the thing wealthy libertarians have been buying up educational curricula that shut out all traces of leftism.
To do this the right sought out free market advocates and economists to help conquer politics via books like Intellectuals and Socialism, The Road to Serfdom, The Virtue of Selfishness and more recently in the UK, Britannia Unchained and The Sovereign Individual
All of which are essential reading for the +450 r/w think tanks in the world who claim to be non profit and of charitable status yet operate as a party within a party holding massive influence over Govt policy making. Eg @iealondon

In 1955, Etonian Anthony Fisher took advice from Hayek to form a libertarian think tank that would promote the destruction of Socialism while shrinking the role of Govt in peoples lives and change public opinion so they would accept free market principles to 'save Britain'.
His friend Oliver Smedley warned Fisher to be cagey as their libertarian ideology must not indicate any political bias, after all they were funded by tax payer money under charity status. The IEA was formed and quickly followed by the CATO Ins, Heritage and ATLAS.
Brexit is to the UK what Donald Trump was for the Republican party in the US. Ending FOM effectively traps people in the UK, I believe this is a ploy to eventually force people to work for the private sector once the welfare state and the entire public sector has been dismantled.

3,800 EU laws that protect workers rights to be abolished by rabid ideological post Brexit lunatic MP's, you are in serious trouble UK people! Wave goodbye to holidays, pay rises, equality
Minister and unions clash over EU protections for holidays and pay theguardian.com/politics/2022/…
Seriously, what do people think comes next after a deregulation killing spree? 'Statist' protectionist laws abolished, powers given to corporations who will install new charter city regulatory frameworks via Singham's Babson program

UK Govt are aping the US libertarian rights sledgehammer approach to democracy, 'Win the courts, win the war'. Tactics of distracting public with scandals mask what is really happening post Brexit, the systematic reconfiguration of the UK to a kleptocracy

Sunak, an unelected oligarch worth £730 million now runs the UK. His wife avoided paying £20 million of tax. The plutocratic capture of UK politics. So suffer little children, we are going to bleed you dry.
‘The worst possible people ‘running’ the country at the worst possible time.
2 choices are available, you take a little bit of tax from the ultra rich or take everything from the poor’
Guess which choice Sunak takes? @GeorgeMonbiot
I have to put this question yet again, why would a transatlantic cartel of anti-democratic millionaires & billionaires gamble on shorting a countries economy/entire infrastructure? Charter cities are coming to UK post Brexit, citizens will lose all rights.

"The real solution is to found a Hong Kong 2.0, right here in the British Isles"
Charter cities are owned by corporations, they have their own laws beyond Govt reach...HR gone.
Hong Kong exiles in UK unnerved by ‘weak’ response to beating of protester theguardian.com/world/2022/nov…
To house an extra one billion people would require that the share of arable land devoted to cities rise to 4% (Romer 2009). Consider Sunak/Truss's 75km 'investment zones' surrounding x10 Freeports. Do you see what is happening now?

What is at stake, therefore, is the future of an organisation with 5.7 million members, which owns hundreds of historic buildings and 600,000 acres of land, and also acts as custodian to 800 miles of coastline.The plan, land grabbing for r/w charter cities

Great video on why austerity paves the way to fascism, entrepreneurial individualism to crush workers and unions by creating an economic downturn. #Brexit #libertarian
There will be pain
A deeply unpleasant reality, neither the sacrifice nor the gains are shared. Working-class people will reap none of the benefits down the road. Libertarianism is incompatible with democracy #BrexitBrokeBritian
#GeneralElectionNow

How disaster capitalists deploy and normalize austerity must be dismantled, Johnson's Darwinian survival of the fittest can only be met with a counter revolution, Tories unleashed full on economic terrorism, it is no coincidence that ERG's anti-governance accelerates next 2 years
