There's a lot of people who seem to be really stupid

So let me make it clear

There is loads and loads of money. We can have pensions and benefits and healthcare and housing and everything everyone needs

But the billionaires and their puppets want to steal every single penny

Traders at Brixton market fight back against private equity takeover of the site, want community ownership.

PE will kill the market, currently owned by a Texas billionaire.

Solidarity for resistance to big business, PE and financialisation of everything.

SHAC Article: Over 100 Southwark Families Face Eviction from Former Notting Hill Genesis Homes 🚨

https://t.co/Ucy0kE3fGy

Corporate landlord BMR Group Ltd that bought the homes from NHG is targeting the St James Estate, hitting residents with "no-fault" evictions & massive rent hikes up to £900 p/m to flip the estate into unlicensed HMOs.

Residents say these aren't just properties—they are homes where people have built lives for over 35 years.
Housing campaigners and the St James TRA are fighting back and demanding Southwark Council take immediate action. #NoEvictions

⚠️UK people, wake up!

Did you know it's highly likely you and your family live in a deregulated Special Economic Zone?
There are 91 of these zones, and counting, in the UK.
What Is A Special Economic Zone (SEZ)?
An SEZ is a geographically designated area where normal planning rules, corporate tax arrangements, and regulatory oversight are loosened to attract private investment.
The pitch is always: jobs, growth, levelling up.
Heard this before?
What actually happens: public money, aka State aid, removes the risk and friction for corporations and dumps it on the public sector.
Land values rise.
Private capital captures the gain.
Democratic accountability is bypassed because decisions are made by zone boards, development corporations, and mayoral offices rather than elected councils.
Secondary legislation on zone policy bypassed Parliamentary debate, public consultation, and notification of the press.
This is why you have not heard of free zones.
Both the Tories and Labour colluded on the nationwide rollout of free zones immediately after Brexit. While out of office, Labour publicly said free zones were not a silver bullet for the economy, but mayors like Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram signed off with the Tories on setting them up anyway.
Zone ideology is the resurrection of Thatcher's free zone policy, which delivered hugely underwhelming results, partly because EU state aid rules limited how far the model could go.
Brexit rewrote those rules, opening the door to the scale of corporate subsidy now flowing through free zones to major asset managers and private capital.
The books below on free zones are few and far between. They all examine the history and contemporary application of free zone ideology.

Stop chemicals polluting Thames, petition demands.

Thames Water hasn't built a reservoir since 1989, infrastructure investment neglected.

Plan to swap 75m litres a day of the River Thames with wastewater.

What would pesticides and stimulants do to life?

💊Your face scanned to pick up your prescription

Facial recognition firm @Facewatch is planning to expand its Orwellian face-scanning operation to NHS-linked pharmacies

This is an unacceptable intrusion into people's privacy & one step away from surveillance in hospitals

We're calling on pharmacies to reject facial recognition

[Big Brother Watch @BigBrotherWatch]

🔴ALERT: Police are deploying Orwellian live facial recognition tech in #Islington and #Barnet boroughs today.

This technology turns our high streets into digital police line-ups. There's no place for it in Britain.

Help us #StopFacialRecognition

Friendly reminder

Instead of governments
creating Digital IDs
to track citizens…

Maybe citizens
should have Digital IDs
for politicians.

Track who they meet with.
Track who lobbies them.
Track where our tax dollars go.

They work for us.
Not the other way around.

[Big Brother Watch @BigBrotherWatch]

🆔The Government will introduce a digital ID system

This would be an intrusive, multi-billion-pound system that no one wants, no one voted for and has no real purpose

We're campaigning tooth & nail to reject a sweeping digital ID system | https://t.co/Y6P1zIiUsf

We call on the Government to amend the law to ensure there are at least one non-wholemeal flour option without folic acid fortification, and to exempt organic flour from mandatory folic acid fortification requirement from December 2026.

This video is a very long way of the police saying they’re putting❗️live facial recognition❗️in CCTV networks (wait til the end)

No other democratic or European country does this

Our country is being turned into an open prison by people who see liberty as a problem, not a right

Big Peckham win! 💥

Planning permission refused for this overdevelopment of unaffordable housing scheme demolising Aylesham Centre

Community mobilisation was very strong. Whatever is planned next needs to serve the actual community and not developer profits

[EuropeanPowell @EuropeanPowell]

From Oxfordshire to the Welsh Valleys to the Dorset countryside, Keir Starmer’s ‘Labour’ government is orchestrating the largest industrial land grab in a generation, and most communities have no idea it’s happening.
Over 200 local authorities across the UK have submitted bids to become “AI Growth Zones”, a designation that strips away planning protections, bypasses environmental safeguards, and fast-tracks massive data centers into communities that never asked for them. The government is keeping applications open indefinitely, with new selections to be announced in summer 2025.

The DWP was more than happy for disabled people to be demonised, abused and harassed before stating the following about the rise in UC claims was actually due to existing claimants being forced to migrate from legacy benefits like ESA.

This was entirely deliberate and a clear example of the abuse this government was happy to enable towards us.

You may think your signature won't make a difference to the petition on public water ownership.

But if everyone thought that, it wouldn't have reached 90k+ signatures.

Every signature helps, every share helps even more.

It's wiring up AI surveillance capabilities into 500+ CCTV cameras

Buried in documents we've uncovered are proposals to monitor a wide range of behaviour
