Racist Nigel Farage (rhymes with garbage) has been copying Trump and using The Fascist Playbook from the get-go. He's one of the "brexiteers" plunging #UK into a nightmare of #SEZs and freeports at the mercy of predatory international corporations, including Blackrock, McKinsey and even Therme.
🌷

The public arent sufficiently interested because other than Private Eye & Byline Times the MSM aren’t mentioning #SEZs #Freeports
What’s equally inexplicable is why Starmer & Labour are behind it unless they are on the payroll @europeanpowell.bsky.social #BBCPanorama

Is #GovernorFord going to be making more secret deals to funnel our tax dollars to US corporations?
Selling off our mineral rights and fresh water?

Special Economic Zones don’t fail loudly. They fade quietly.
#SEZs in #Africa amplify existing strengths—skills, infrastructure—while exposing weaknesses. The can raise export diversification but slowly, with effects only appearing after a decade or so. doi.org/10.1080/0885...

Before election, Labour's canvassing Candidate, (now MP )admitted Starmer unpopular with voters in my area but wanted #Change #ToriesOut & couldn't answer questions raised relating to continuing #PrivatisationUK: #NHS #Freeports #SEZs & continuing #AusterityMeasures.
Labour did not get my vote.

2/ Macquarie now investing in UK #SEZs Teesside should have been the warning .. for info on SEZs see @europeanpowell.bsky.social who's done a lot of good work on the coming Tufton St heist. Huge swathes of the UK have been auctioned off to foreign investors. Most ppl unaware of what's to come

Same schtick as the #SEZs in Britain. #CorporateTakeover if you refuse they'll sue for Billions as they did in #Honduras🇭🇳

Free zones are anything but 'free' for the majority and all about transfer of power and wealth from the many to the few and, sans any democratic accountability, free money and free access to land, water, data and resources, for the benefit of the broligarchy and their corrupt mates.
#SEZs #Freeports

Unpredictable Dangerous Donald's unquenchable thirst for Oil & #RareEarths -Is the UK in the sights of Trump etc for exploitation? #Palantir sued the Ecuadorian Govt for $BNs. Beware #SEZs #ISDS @mattkennard.bsky.social @tayabali.bsky.social @europeanpowell.bsky.social @stevewitherdenmp.bsky.social

That's why #Freeports and #SEZs have such a large land-take. Plymouth includes the whole of Dartmoor.
The corporate parasites behind this want control of all our infrastructure and natural resources.

#Freeports + #SEZs ?

CPEC’s New Industrial Push - Stratheia CPEC Phase II’s SEZs are driving Pakistan’s shift toward export-led industrial growth, technology transfer, and long-term economic resilience.

What makes CPEC Phase II different? Modern incentives, one-window facilitation, port connectivity, digitalised approvals, and alignment with global trends like EVs and renewable technologies. This is industrial policy with direction.

One problem is the #SEZs and #Freeports and #AIZones
All contrary to EU regulation.

If you have EU #RedLines you're a #putinsbitch
If you support uk #Freeports & #SEZs & #AIZones you're a neoliberal/libertarian
If you support #reeves a banker you're not Labour

They should be going back on #Starmers #RedLines for financial gains that will bring.
Then ditch the #SEZs & #Freeports to recoup the cash and revenue they bleed.

Ethiopia promotes European investors with SEZs in Paris The country's SEZs, buttressed by modern logistics and transport infrastructure, offers investors streamlined processes.

EU–Ethiopia Business Conference in Paris, highlighted its Special Economic Zones (SEZs) as a principal platform for facilitating international investment and boosting economic ties with the European Union.

#EuropeanUnion #SpecialEconomicZones #Europen #SEZs #investments #Paris #Ethiopia

You're right.
But #TraitorTories have been dismantling our laws that aligned us to EU. Thank #Bozo and #Jacobite_Sleaze_Morgue
And #Labour #reeves for trashing regs.
The EU regs need re- incorporating in uk law and #SEZs #Freeports need gone.

@libdems.org.uk @joshbabarinde.bsky.social plz share, we need transparency, we need to know how those #freeports #SEZs and the impact they are having on our economical survival and for the people NOT just the fat cat corps and their tax benefits #Councils #Police #Environment #workersrights #unions

Bot Verification

Not nonsense. Certainly not conspiracy theories.
Given #Teesside abysmal record on scrutiny and accountability.

#CharterCities are also poorly received.
Havens for tax evasion, financial crime, money laundering.
Get rid of all #SEZs #Freeports & #CharterCities

bylinetimes.com/2024/04/04/f...

I bet they are hoping that the #Freeports #SEZs & #AIZones will bring in money and investment (hint - they won't but will cost us) but are illegal in EU due to excessive govt support.

As was always going to be the case.
Kick down one house wall, resulting in a gaping hole in treasury income plus a huge hole in gdp plus no incoming investment.
The #SEZs and #Freeports will not save anyone but Rob the country.

And you stop implementing regulatory changes that cut uk's compliance with the EU
So planning stds & regs
Food stds & allowing products not acceptable in EU like #GMOs #PBOs and excess chems.
Also #Freeports #SEZs

Spread this far and wide before Great Britain becomes Corporate Britain

#EnterpriseZones #SEZs

#Starmers #RedLines unjustifiable nonsense.
#SEZs #Freeports are neoliberalism on steroids. The way they were "sold" to council & authorities was blackmail. Scrap them all & recover all govt funding.
I'm likely socialist but I'll not support #starmers #Zionist labour

The UK Is Being Carved Up—And Nobody's Talking About It

While the mainstream media stays silent, Britain is being systematically divided into 86 deregulated corporate enclaves: 74 Special Economic Zones and 12 Freeports, now merged under the banner of "Industrial Strategy Zones," with 200 AI […]

Coming soon, #Ontario. Goodbye small businesses and local governments.
#SEZs

And enabled even more so by the uk's #AIZones #SEZs and #Freeports

Happening in #Canada. Ontario's Trump-copying, bicycle-lane-hating, foreign-corporation-loving premier is following the #IDU / #brexiteers plan for selling us out to the same international grifters and scammers that are destroying communities and environments in #UK.
