Wander with me through my thought process. The bigger problem.
1/ The last 3 years has created millions & millions of ‘Never vaxxers’ it’s not their fault that they no longer believe or trust the medical or pharmaceutical industry & will never trust their governments again.
2/ That’s a problem! Because many diseases are kept under control by the old fashioned vaccines we all had, willingly take & give to our children. Diseases like polio, smallpox & TB which kill people, have been kept under control in the west for decades. But could now resurface.

1/ Why I back #AxeTheTax and suggest they:
▪️Remove ALL green taxes immediately
▪️Stop any interest rate rises
▪️Cancel the NI tax increase
▪️Lower corporation tax
If they don't they are incompetent or deliberately forcing through policies that will destroy small businesses.
2/ Lets talk about business. 99% of all businesses in the UK employ fewer than 10 people, but account for two thirds of employment & over half the UKs revenue. Many business owners have loans taken out against their own homes & are just surviving after the lockdown chaos.

1/ Thread about China
I hear the argument to onshore manufacturing back into the UK and have written about the economic cost of doing so. But the bigger picture is how much China is already embedded in the UK, through their massive investments in key industries & debt.
2/ Chinese investors have amassed over £134b of assets in the UK. These include energy companies, transport hubs, schools, pharma, technology, retail and property. Over 200 companies and groups are invested in or controlled by Chinese investors.

1/The UK & the West relies heavily on cheap labour & goods to consumerise (new word) our economies.
This importation of products, cheaper than we can ever produce because of minimum wage & working condition requirements, has infiltrated every part of our consumer world.
3/ Talk of boycotting China and all their products is naive. Here's a list of categories of products and materials used to manufacture cheaply. Without them the gap between rich and poor would be enormous, plunging most of the country into poverty.

1/ The WEF is funded by global Corporations & now they have influence over strategic government funding to benefit its members not us, despite soundbites to the contrary.
The UK government is allowing it to shape our future, incl. the NHS & infrastructure spend, remember that.
2/ On UK. gov its hidden in plain site.
"UK and World Economic Forum to lead regulation revolution to foster industries of the future"
But only those that benefit members. obvs. gov.uk/government/new…

Thread 1/ Watching James 'Not so' Cleverly on Sky. discussing energy prices and home heating bills.
As usual he has totally ignored or missed the bigger picture. Not only will people face paying almost double for their energy, everything they buy is about to increase in price.
2/ Businesses will have massive increases in their energy costs, both in the UK and in every country where products are manufactured. They have also seen huge increases in the price of raw materials, including cardboard for packaging, silicone, plastics, electronics etc..

1/ This is what your media has failed to report.
The rise of the people against vaccine Mandates controlled by Vaccine passports gathers pace worldwide.
1/ The gravy train for single use plastics, packaging and other protective PPE takes no responsibility for its life cycle. And neither will #COP26

🌍130 billion face masks and
🌍65 billion plastic latex gloves are used globally every month
🌍China manufacturing over 116 million disposable face masks a day

The review of COVID passports is published.
▪️Gov will support businesses choosing to use it from step 4
▪️They expect a high degree of take up
▪️SAGE & ethics bodies back it overall
▪️Majority of the public don't
