Govts repeatedly prioritise corporate interests over the public interest, citing innovation and growth as the pretext.
Deregulated free zones are the most sinister and pernicious form of corporate overreach designed to exit democracy and bypass public participation in the decision-making process.

I could never envisage the name Donald trump among the very worthy recipients of the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize in its Stockholm museum, even on a certain door within what was the Nobel factory in Vinterviken would be beyond the pale.

Nidge Farage’s attendance record in Brussels was atrocious.
Farage has always had money supporting him, does he do what he does due to his deep & all consuming euro scepticism or is it the look at me, recognition, his political stance has rewarded him beyond his dreams (ability)
Trust Nidge?

How much have some politicians red or blue personally benefited from misleading & lying, possibly the geopolitical reality now unfolding is not the end but only the beginning due to their involvement.
Some definitely left their sojourn into politics a lot wealthier.

London Heathrow airport owned by private/state investors from Australia, China, France, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain.

Similar to steel, auto, ports, shipbuilding, care homes, hospitals, GP surgeries, veterinary services.

Dividends not taxed in the UK. Govts have fewer economic levers.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership

Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.
