The taxpayer built all the reservoirs and all the water pipes.

The taxpayer built all the rail tracks and the stations.

The taxpayer built all the electricity pylons and all the substations.

We should simply take them back.

We should stop calling the main stream media, the main stream media, and call it what it is. The billionaire owned right-wing press.

The IEA was founded by battery chicken farmer Anthony Fisher in 1955 under the advice of Friedrich Hayek, he warned Fisher that to keep the IEAs charity status the think tank must never let their libertarian agenda become known to the public, as this would cause outrage and likely see the IEA being shut down.

Fisher went on to form the ATLAS network in 1981, an umbrella group described as "a think tank that creates think tanks," the organization partners with nearly 600 organizations in over 100 countries.
The Intercept, The Guardian, and The New Republic have described Atlas Network as having ties to right-wing and conservative movements, including the administration of Donald Trump in the United States, Brexit in the United Kingdom, and anti-government protests in Latin America.

Libertarians back the abolishment of big govt, this entails the privatization of the state via corporate carve-outs of entire regions known as Special Economic Zones, SEZs have massively increased around the world since the 2008 crash, SEZs are born out of crises where the public sector undergoes engineered collapse over decades, at the point of total breakdown, the private sector moves in for the kill to 'rescue' countries from the failures of big Govt.
There are 74 deregulated SEZ and 12 Freeports currently being installed in England, Scotland, and wales, guess what Starmer's changed Labour party including MPs, Mayors, councillors, Lords, and Baronesses were board members of Sunak and Truss's nationwide SEZs/Freeports consortia. Every single one of these zones has secondary legislation embedded within them, this means zero Parliamentary or public scrutiny, look to Teesside as the template for what will repeat across the the UK.
The EU Parliament stresses that State aid should support ecological transformation and foster the development of services, knowledge, and infrastructure rather than providing support to specific companies. https://t.co/nEUVJ9MxP4
Once and for all, UK SEZs contravene EU laws on State aid, this is why Starmer and the Tories ar pro-Brexit. What's happening in the UK is corporations working with the govt are ensuring that British democracy is rendered tamper-proof for corporate interest above and beyond the will of the population.

@GMB We see you, @GMB, knowingly platforming those dark money think tanks. You’re part of the problem.

I'm no economist, but if cutting winter fuel payment saves £1.4BN a year, and the energy companies are raking in over £1BN a week in profits, maybe an 'easier decision' would be to TAX THE PROFITS OF THE F*CKING ENERGY COMPANIES to cover the cost, rather than freeze pensioners?!

Like so many, I’m pretty much at my limit with this app, and country, actually. Not like I can go anywhere else, Brexit scuppered that. And no, not because I’m unpatriotic it’s because Britain isn’t really Britain anymore and not in a racist “too many foreigners” way but because, thanks to the con artists, we’re riddled with Russian interference and starting to resemble Trump’s America.

We’ve always benefitted from immigration, economically and culturally, they knew that so had to make people hate or fear immigrants to pull it off. It’s working unfortunately. It’s (deliberately) all you see and hear, that takes root.

It is depressing watching what the new govt is facing. Despite it being early days, it doesn’t look like they’re gonna get a fair crack. The sheer weight and volume of bullshit being spun is immense. It always comes back to the media, the tactics of the hard right, shadily funded lobby groups, unabated conspiracy and traitors cosplaying as patriots destroying our country to benefit foreign powers or the super rich.

Conspiracies are deliberately becoming mainstream, thanks to the media uncritically platforming Farage or Tice at any opportunity, causing objective fact to be up for debate instead of absolute, the British right is morphing in to The US Republican Party. The participants (Jenrick, etc) likely don’t believe what they’re saying but want the donations, profit and power that comes from conning millions into believing bullshit.

If you draw attention to this you sound conspiratorial but it is reported. We can all see how it operates if we look, the problem is that so many don’t.

Millionaires and billionaires can engage in cyber warfare, flood social media with waves of bots. If a big company doing something that harms us wants to continue profiting they’ll just toddle down to Tufton St and enlist a lobby group they’re funding to get their message in a headline on the front pages or on the news, because this is how it works.

Just like Brexit. Just look at where Odey is putting his money and you’ll find the next group of people happy to destroy our country for profit. Almost every political investment he’s made has resulted in us getting poorer as a country so he can profit. Hardly surprising he turned up at a Reform fundraiser is it? Considering he helped fund those wanting to leave the EU, then made millions as the pound tanked when they succeeded.

Odey donated over £350k to the Tory Party and over £870k to pro Brexit groups. He also, as a man who profits from the fossil fuel industry, donated thousands to Rees Mogg who then suddenly (and entirely coincidentally) became pro fracking.

He’s just donated £10k to Reform. All this despite allegations of sexual misconduct as reported by Tortoise. It’s not just Reform accepting donations from a disgraced financier, he’s an omen of doom. He puts a little into a party or scheme, his return is millions, he profits from our decline and backs those that cause it.

He’s the fat canary in the coal mine that we’re forced to toil in to pay it all back, via austerity.

Then there’s the hedgefunders surrounding Truss and Kwarteng before and after the mini budget. Any party with huge hedgefunder support is going to ruin us so the wealthy can profit. Look at the millions made by Farage post Brexit. They have ways to ruin those that that successfully draw attention to it. Just look at Carole Cadwalladr.

So many are brainwashed, the riots made that clear. The counter protests were affirming but the zone is flooded daily and we’re all glued to our phones. I have no idea how Starmer can counter it. Millions are radicalised. He’d be a fucking idiot not to implement press reform.

I’m wondering if there’s any point having my life destroyed if nobody will listen. We’re in trouble. The threat is increasing and I, like many, have no idea if my dip in the ocean is worth it anymore. Considering the personal ruin that can be inflicted just for telling the truth or pisstaking.

A brief 🧵 about Brexit denialism currently suffocating the country.

1/19 As a psychologist, I am all too aware that, when faced with emotionally challenging issues and threats, facing them can be very scary and the temptation is to avoid. Can entire nations act similarly? Yes.
