UK citizens, you are in serious trouble, the libertarian right have successfully implemented their ideology as cold hard fact in the form of austerity as policy choice. You have a few months to force a GE or the UK will officially become a totalitarian rogue state. I'm not joking
Capital accumulation has become an extortion racket, when GDP becomes an unbalanced system of wealth redistribution privileging the investor class over low to middle income earners it is singularly dangerous to stable democracies. Disaster capitalism thrives on chaos and disorder
Deregulation under the guise of patriotism and sovereignty was the key for the UK's libertarian exit from democracy (Brexit). The Tories plan is to eventually force people to work for the private sector once the welfare state and the entire public sector has been dismantled.
Extreme profits made by energy companies are in tandem with billions in dark money used to shape radically aggressive policies in r/w thinktanks. The public are left shocked and fatigued by multiple attacks on all infrastructure, from laws to culture wars to the air we breathe.
Brexit was hatched by a transatlantic network of libertarian minds fomenting the collapse of the welfare state, Covid was the cherry on top, a perfect accelerant for siphoning billions in public money to private hands, perpetrators of those heists are this current Govt. #GTTONow
Why is exploitation rife? Tory mantra of growth and prosperity concentrate wealth for a small group of people who happen to be the most influential powerful sovereign individuals on the planet, it's in THEIR interests to counter the 'obstacle of democracy'
Freeports will turn UK into 1 big tax haven
Brexit has burned it's bridges with the protectionist EU, that was deliberate because the pot of gold coming is for disaster capitalists only, these people regard tax as theft of their property. Last thing they want is to help others.
The treasure in Harry Potter's Deathly Hallow's keeps multiplying because of the Gemino Curse, it will crush Harry and his friends, the same thing is happening with capital accumulation, but it will eventually crush the planet. @GeorgeMonbiot
Dare to imagine that things can be done differently, there is an alternative to this libertarian shit. Everyone can do their part, activism/protest takes many forms, like ingredients in a good meal, organisation, bringing people together, we can be heroes & overthrow dark forces.

Russia report states British Est. compromised beyond mitigation by Russia, the ERG are quiet on Russia and extremely anti Europe, remember the Conservative Friends of Russia included Carrie Symonds.
Johnson threatens Sunak’s bid to end deadlock over Brexit theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
Conservative MPs who are not involved in the ERG told openDemocracy that the group operates as a party within a party and that taxpayers’ money should be returned. opendemocracy.net/en/freedom-of-…
IPSA forced to hand over the sample of ERG material it had examined, far from being neutral the ‘research’ is highly party-political and that the group operates with a disruptive political agenda. UK is absolutely governed by the ERG, they are psychopaths.
Far right evangelical libertarian Brexit whackjob Steve Baker gets £10k from Chairman of both libertarian thinktank IEA, and the Global Warming Policy Forum, campaign arm of the climate science denial organisation founded by Lord Nigel Lawson. Stinks. desmog.com/2023/02/01/uk-…
ERG had 'exceptional access' to Govt ministers. You see from this how broken democracy is, how transparency is ignored to favour a disaster capitalist takeover of a now 3rd country?🧵 R/W thinktanks are a scourge on democracy.
Be aware APPG's are a new breed of libertarian thintank. APPGs do not have official status within Parliament. They exploit being unregulated – yet have considerable influence over policy-makers. Eg: APPG funded by private health interests.
It was always going to end like this.
Labour and Cons playing political musical chairs while the UK burns.
Something is fundamentally wrong with the British 2 party system. #Brexit
Revealed: secret cross-party summit held to confront failings of Brexit theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
You have to ask why Labour and Cons are doubling down on making Brexit work when the entire Leave campaign was proven to be illegal and every single new deal returns a pittance for the UK economy. #Libertarian
Here's what's at stake for UK citizens, I guarantee that every deregulatory act will benefit the investor class only, their libertarian ideology made flesh.

Naked attempt by this Govt to disenfranchise those less likely to vote Tory
Voters will have no right to appeal if denied a vote after polling staff refuse to accept their ID
Voter ID: Bouncers at the Ballot Box Could Turn Away Thousands in May Elections bylinetimes.com/2023/02/10/vot…
Reputationally – what will our residents think with a rise in election challenges? It reduces confidence in the system. Polling stations across the country lack the time and resources to implement this barely disguised exercise in voter suppression,
What is happening to UK democracy? Tories will absolutely gerrymander the May elections with legalised voter suppression tactics. 6 of the Govt-accepted IDs are specifically targeted at older people, while almost none are aimed at younger people.
The Tories endless scandals and corruption are symptoms of what's coming next in post Brexit UK. Their behaviour shows you what kind of Britain they are remaking, it is in their own image. Once they deregulate the hell out of everything, absolute legalized lawlessness will reign.
Most people are unaware of the transatlantic models of libertarianism Tories are adopting to entrench capital accumulation by hook or by crook. Ideology of anti governance goes back to the 1920s/30s where Italy and UK used austerity as a weapon removing the obstacle of democracy.
Economists and libertarians like Hayek, Friedman Rand, Buchanan, Fisher, Smedley devised partisan think tanks whose directive was to never disclose the hugely unpopular core tenets of libertarianism to the public for fear of losing their charity status.
Tories legislating to not only hobble local councils but transform them into exploitative emblems of corporate hegemony thoughout England impacting the entire UK. No accountability as neo-feudal fiefdoms experiment with power and land grabbing post #Brexit
We warned you!
You have to understand that the Govt is no longer functioning for it's own electorate, the whole ideology of libertarians is to abolish state intevention by tailoring laws as services that companies demand in a deregulated UK, the whole point of Brexit!
