  1. 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 Growth Zones on the way.

  5. UK`s future as a state comprised of feudal fiefdoms owned by rich oligarchs who can impose their own laws, currency, and laws governing slave labour. Welcome to the "new" medieval Italy in the North Sea. People voted for this!

  10. And then they weren't....

    That plan to establish another five Freeports.... err, seems like Labour are now saying that was never the plan & it was a 'cock up with the comms'.

    So its just continuing with the current Freeports then, despite extensive evidence that they generate no new investment, just displace investment from other paces... in other words they are a scam to reduce corporations tax exposure & little else....

    Reeves should have been winding them down...

  20. Zombie policy ahoy:

    the FT is reporting, despite their lacklustre performance as engines of regional growth in the past (and when I say lacklustre, I mean negligible), another five Freeport's look like being announced next week in the budget....

    When there a real polices that could be enacted, why does our political class still think Freeport's are the 'answer' to anything (other than money laundering & tax evasion..... oh wait..)

    Its a policy that just won\t die

  30. "Critics of #freeports say there is little evidence they attract new investment or help the economy. The Office for Budget Responsibility said in 2021 that tax breaks in England’s freeports would cost the government £50m a year and that their impact on GDP was likely to be so small it would be “difficult to discern even in retrospect”."
