Agreed.
Beats the Ohio Players original and I am a huge OP fan. This was huge on the Northern Soul scene in the UK.

Labour and Blackrock colluding to turn Britain's green regions into 'natural assets'.
The new 'natural' infrastructure that is now being unlocked is about moving nature into a debt-riven corporate model or racket.

Sunak and Starmer's 86 deregulated free zones contravene EU regulations and laws on the distribution of State aid.
Every pro-EU commentator needs to read this EU document on State aid and SEZs,

Peter Thiel represents a significant far-right neoliberal threat to US/UK relations, the future of the NHS, the future of the UK's public sector, and the future of Western democracy.

How corporations can sue Governments. (ISDS and LCIA)
I recently went on a live chat with a UK Government representative as part of a FOI request, my question was do UK SEZs and Freeports licenses contain ISDS clauses within them? He couldn't answer my question.

Another exhibit from the Unhinged States of America.
Infrastructure is the primary target of deregulated SEZs, this includes councils, their assets, and all public services therein.
Woking County Council in Surrey is bankrupt. Surrey was approved as an SEZ in 2017, right after Brexit.

Thatcher's legacy is alive and well, Sunak and Starmer have successfully resurrected her SEZs and Freeports, it took leaving the EU to do so.

I tweeted this in 2023.
Charter cities shall have EXCLUSIVE jurisdiction to regulate matters, including labor law, tax law, environmental law, business registration, land registration, and dispute resolution, and the administrative authority necessary to exercise those powers'.
⚠️Warning⚠️
As I have been saying for the last few years, charter cities will devour the UK, abolish the welfare state, and destroy the environment by turning entire cities into competing feudal entities.
Absolute chaos and societal breakdown will ensue.

Tomorrow, myself @jimfunnell.bsky.social @plymouthgreenparty.bsky.social will discuss the UK's deregulated SEZs, Freeports, and the lack of transparency around Sunak and Starmer's free zones. We will explain why the public has not been sufficiently informed on the impacts of SEZs on communities. >
Recommending private sector use for the NHS crisis is like recommending more alcohol for a hangover.
Sure it offers a slight temporary reprieve - but you find yourself worse off tomorrow.
It's time to break the cycle and invest in our NHS.
