It appears there is one or two of the contenders for PM that want to take Britain back into the EU. But there’s a wee problem with that, it called Deregulated Freeports!

The EU doesn’t do them and we can’t afford to change them!

Do you know what the secretive Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) is?

Corporations can sue Govt’s for breach of contract, decommissioning, environmental regulations, shutting down private SEZs, Freeports, charter cities.

This is about corporate power flexing its muscles over democratic norms and protections that prevent extreme capital accumulation from destroying communities and entire regions of any given country.

Legalized lawlessness and zone fever have turbocharged in Brexit UK. Know that Sunak’s 74 SEZs and 12 Freeports have licenses that are future-proofed for 25 years. Starmer will not revoke these licenses, the Labour Party fully back Sunak’s SEZs.

So, the propaganda has started even before the race has fully started! It doesn’t matter which camp you are in concerning the EU, it ain’t going to happen in the way it did before.

New deals may well be made in various forms, but full-blown EU membership cannot come to pass for at least 25 years.….and this applies to an independent Scotland as well.

Governments north and south of the border have well and truly shot themselves in the foot…….the bullet…..Freeports!

Politicians don’t know how to handle big colgomerates but they certainly know how to handle politicians! It’s called ‘control’.

A change of driver will not change the direction the vehicle is going.

We need a GE, but even then, the journey will be anything but straightforward, as yesterday’s demonstration in London showed. This is what happens when one tries to placate multiple factions, each pulling in different directions. They say we have a ‘two-tier’ system, but the reality is, we probably have about 3 or 4!

One could say, we have got ourselves into a bit of a pickle!!

Tinkering around the edges will solve nothing, we need strong governments on both sides of the border who are prepared to meet the problems head-on. And the way the country is going we cannot wait for Independence before we start.

To do nothing, is not an option for any government in these precarious days.
