They tried to warn you, ‘they’ being the Freeport Salvo/Group. Maybe now people will listen, even LA Councillors!

It all sounded so far away, Teeside after all was in England and we were told by Forbes ‘et al’ that things would be different in Scotland…..well they aren’t!

And earlier yesterday another story broke….

What happened to local jobs for local people?

Wake up Scotland, you have been sold a ‘pup’ and as it grows it will strip Scotland of its assets and your Local Services!

Lower or free taxes for corporations means only one thing for you and me, a reduction in our vital Council Services or we have to plug the gap in funding……not them…US!

So when your Council Tax leaps up next year don’t think it’s just about government funding, look at the loss of revenue because of Freeports & SEZs.

These cumulative tax breaks are not re-invested into the local communities they go straight into the pockets of shareholders’ and the good people of Edinburgh will pay handsomely for the privilege.

The headings on all the glossy brochures sounded so grand, the saviours of the Scottish economy had arrived but the reality will be so different and this nightmare is only beginning.

Only one thing can halt this virus of greed and that is ‘system change’ at the very top. A new type of governance away from Westminster…why?

….because the rot started there with the new ideology of Libertarianism. Cut the root and we may just have a chance to change our course.

We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change course thanks to Salvo, it is sink or swim time!

Join Liberation, the modern-day lifeboat and let’s go hand in hand to the Hague together.
