From: Aneurin Bevan. (1952) 'In Place of Fear', p23. "The issue therefore in a capitalist democracy resolves itself into this: either poverty will use democracy to win the struggle against property, or property, in fear of poverty, will destroy democracy."

🚨 The government made their own devices 100% invisible, so they can force yours to be 100% transparent. Did you know this? 🚨 They dodge the laws they force on you. On us. The people! Do not take this lightly. Every MP is exempt. Every Lord is exempt. Every elite civil servant is exempt. EVERY PARASITE IS EXEMPT! They force the laws on us. They legally shield themselves. Total public surveillance. Total state secrecy. Absolute parasite immunity. The well-funded, ‘professional’ campaigns wrap this up in polite, Ofcom-palatable jargon… we need to stop playing nice and call this brutal hypocrisy exactly what it is: a legal coup against our privacy. If you complain about the length of this post or a 8-minute video, you are part of the problem. No filters and no apologies. Wake up or get out of the way. 🚨 RULES FOR THEE, PRIVACY FOR ME: What you NEED to know! The UK has engineered a digital dictatorship. They demand total transparency from you, while securing absolute secrecy for themselves. This is not a theory. It is written directly into hard law. Here is the brutal, stripped-down truth of how the political parasites legally insulated themselves from the surveillance panopticon they are forcing onto the public. 1. The Divine Right of MPs The Law: Section 26, Investigatory Powers Act 2016 The Privilege: Intelligence agencies cannot touch an MP’s data without a personal, written veto from the Prime Minister. The Tyranny: Your life is subjected to automated bulk surveillance. Theirs is legally untouchable. 2. The Private Internet Loophole The Law: Schedule 1, Online Safety Act 2023 The Privilege: Official networks used by Ministers, Lords, and civil servants are explicitly exempt from client-side phone scanning. The Tyranny: Your personal WhatsApp must be stripped of privacy and screened. Their government-shielded apps are completely walled off. 3. The Unchecked Dictator Veto The Law: The "Henry VIII" Clauses in the Online Safety Act The Privilege: Ministers hold secondary legislative powers to alter and expand exemptions via Statutory Instruments. The Tyranny: If parasite official ever faces a surveillance clause, they can simply rewrite the law behind closed doors without a democratic vote. 4. The Weaponised Wilson Doctrine The Law: Codified Parliamentary Surveillance Protections The Privilege: The police and security services are completely banned from tracking, tapping, or snooping on politicians. The Tyranny: The very individuals voting to turn your smartphone into an informant are constitutionally protected from ever experiencing the consequences of their own votes. 💥 THE VERDICT This is the textbook definition of tyranny. A free society requires a transparent state and private citizens. The UK has completely inverted it. Your private thoughts, messages, and photos are treated as state property, while the parasites have declared their own devices sacred, unmonitored, and completely opaque. They know exactly how dangerous this technology is - which is precisely why they wrote themselves out of it. 📱 Step 1: The Secret Tunnel (The State VPN) When an MP, Minister, or elite civil servant works from home, they do not use standard family Wi-Fi. Their government laptops and phones are hard-coded to connect to a secure Government VPN (Virtual Private Network). 🔒 Step 2: The Legal Loophole Activates The second that VPN clicks on, every single text, photo, and WhatsApp message they send is sucked out of their house and routed through private servers owned by Parliament. Because their data is now flowing through a "public body network," it triggers Schedule 1 of the Online Safety Act. 🕵️‍♂️ Step 3: Complete Invisibility By law, this private state network is 100% exempt from the screening and scanning algorithms forced onto the public. Their devices instantly become legally invisible and untouchable to the state dragnet. 💥 The Naked Truth Your Home: Your personal Wi-Fi pushes your private messages into a public commercial pipeline where the government demands it be scanned and screened. Their Home: Their Wi-Fi instantly flips into a secure, state-shielded fortress. Location does not matter. The ruling class built a private internet for themselves, using a legal and technical bypass to completely dodge the digital panopticon they are forcing onto you. FYI: From 2020, when Civil Servants and MP’s worked from home, the Parliamentary Digital Service (PDS) mass-distributed pre-configured laptops, secure mobile devices, and hardware to the home addresses of every MP, Peer, and civil servant. They did not need to install private physical servers in individual houses because the devices themselves act as portable endpoints for the state's centralised servers… then, Government IT teams rapidly re-engineered their servers to handle the strain, massive scaling their corporate VPN capability. This allowed every single person in the state machine to plug their official laptop into their home Wi-Fi, click a button, and completely tunnel their traffic back into secure, centralized government servers. So, what shall we do folks!? New MNC (link in bio) campaign to begin VERY soon! But ideas welcome.

The successors of William the Bastard and their privileged, money-grubbing, globalist criminal collaborators in the City of London have been making a mess of the world for far longer than most people imagine. #EvilAlbion
Have UK Governments through our secret services created and managed the Muslim terror groups globally through the Muslim Brotherhood? If so this gives a different perception of our participation in the ‘War on Terror’ & many of the NATO /US invasions and attacks.

IS ANDY BURNHAM THE ANSWER TO BRITAIN'S MALAISE? Andy Burnham has said he accepts Rachel Reeves’ fiscal rules. But he got into a bit of a pickle during an interview with Victoria Derbyshire on the BBC’s Newsnight programme this week, when she asked him to explain what they were. What Andy ought to have said is that he rejects the fiscal rules because they are an absurdity and will make it impossible to deviate from the neoliberal path on which the current government is travelling. For the avoidance of doubt, the fiscal rules stipulate that: • day-to-day government spending must be fully matched by tax revenues, and the government’s current budget must be in surplus within the next three years; • the so-called public sector net financial liabilities (85% of which is the sale of interest-bearing government bonds, also known as gilts) must also be falling as a share of GDP by 2029; • expenditure on certain social security benefits must be capped. None of this makes any economic sense. For a start, since the end of WW2, the government has only recorded a budget surplus eight times, from 1948 to 1951 and from 1998 to 2001. In fact, according to the Office of Budget Responsibility, British governments have run budget deficits for 224 years out of the last 300. Furthermore, capping social security is not only cruel and inhuman, but also economically stupid, because an increase in welfare benefits will be spent in the local economy, thereby driving economic growth. So, by accepting the chancellor’s preposterous fiscal rules, Andy Burnham will be unable to make good on his criticisms of market-led policies. In the same Newsnight interview, he was also at pains to stress that he was not going to ignore the bond market, as if the bond market is some sort of holy grail. He ought to be arguing that the government’s focus should be on identifying and building real resources in the country to make the economy more resilient in the face of global crises. There is an underlying contradiction in Andy’s rhetoric about criticising market solutions on the one hand, and surrendering to the bond market on the other. Not least because the bond market is actually reliant on the government, rather than the other way round. The government must collect taxes to control inflation, and it uses the bond market for the same purpose, because taxation and bond sales remove liquidity from circulation. But neither taxation, nor bond sales are used to pay for government expenditure. Andy says the country has been on the wrong path for 40 years, but he won’t be able to get it back on track if he’s going to tie his hands behind his back. The problems that Britain is facing, like the housing crisis, youth unemployment and our dilapidated infrastructure, won’t be tackled by more tinkering. These challenges require fundamental reform, which means Rachel Reeves’ foolish fiscal rules will have to go. Andy Burnham should be arguing for a huge fiscal stimulus and tax reform to bring about a fundamental and irreversible shift in the balance of power and wealth in favour of working people and their families. That was the commitment that Labour gave in its 1974 manifesto, which was abandoned after Harold Wilson stepped down as prime minister in 1976. Less than six months later, Denis Healey went cap in hand to the International Monetary Fund on a false premise. It was Healey’s fateful and wholly misguided decision that paved the way for Margaret Thatcher and sent us down the path that Andy Burnham now says he wants to deviate from. Of course, the neoliberal establishment want to maintain the economic status quo which has seen them get filthy rich, while millions of British citizens have been simultaneously plunged into poverty and precarious employment. Fifty years ago, precarious employment hardly existed, and poverty was considerably lower. Back then, around 8 million people worked in manufacturing and the UK was the world’s third biggest economy.

The media economic narrative is a broken record of soundbites, slogans, and tropes which we are expected and conditioned to accept without question. Policies of austerity are not economic necessity, they are policy choices designed to preserve the wealth and power of the few.
MMT is attacked so aggressively because it threatens the propaganda that protects power. For decades, people have been told: “There is no money.” “Be realistic.” “The markets won’t allow it.” “Taxpayers can’t afford it.” MMT pulls at that thread. (1/8)

Zimbabweimargenzuela! The fairytale goes that these 4 countries printed too much money and caused hyperinflation. Not true. These countries just printed enough money to meet the demand for cash that people needed in order to pay the inflated prices that sellers of goods demanded.

Simply because the Chinese create and use money to mobilise resources to meet the needs and desires of the people - unlike the English establishment which has created and hoarded it for 632 years to wage wars and oppress the domestic population. #MMT #LearnMMT #JobGuarantee
In 1999, China’s🇨🇳 economy was smaller than Italy’s. Today, China’s economy is larger than the combined economies of Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Canada. It now has surpassed the US in GDP @ PPP. Here are some of China’s incredible achievements: -800 million people brought out of poverty in 4 decades -Extreme poverty eliminated in China -Lifted 98.99 million rural citizens out of poverty since 2013 -Expanded the Belt and Road Initiative to over 150 countries -Has built a larger high speed rail network than the rest of the world put together, expanding it from 10,000KM to over 50,000KM -Installed renewable energy capacity in China is roughly 4× larger than that of the United States today -Made China the world’s largest industrial economy, with manufacturing output now exceeding the US & EU combined -Presided over the largest housing and urbanisation programme in history, moving hundreds of millions into modern cities with infrastructure, utilities, and services. In 2013 730 million lived in cities, in 2025, 954 million lived in cities. An increase of 224 million. -By 2030, China is projected to account for over 40% of the world’s middle class -Average disposable income has increased more than 25x since 1980 (real terms) -China’s middle class already drives the majority of domestic consumption, shifting growth away from exports -China now contributes more to global consumption growth than the US and Europe combined -Steel production: China produces approximately 55% of global steel -Shipbuilding: China accounts for over 50% of global shipbuilding output -China produces more cement than the rest of the world combined ⚡️The renewable energy dominance: -China controls 80% of the global solar manufacturing market across the entire supply chain (wafers, cells, panels) -It produces approximately 98% of solar wafers, 92% of solar cells, and 85% of solar panels globally -In 2025 alone, China exported 200 GW of solar cells, with exports surging over 73% year-on-year -Solar cells & wafers now make up 40% of China’s solar exports -China drove over 50% of global solar expansion in 2025 -Chinese battery giant CATL alone holds approximately 42% of the global EV battery market

I thought this might be informative until we started getting the usual discussion distortion with bullshit about China. That suggests to me that @RestoreBritain is not serious and just another establishment asset. If I was a young man I’d move to China. #EvilAlbion
Restore Britain asked the Bank of England through FOI for documents planning for a central bank digital currency - they admitted they have them but refused to release. Watch Restore Britain’s policies on Digital ID , CBDC’s etc Restore Britain will restore your freedom.

Literally half the problems on this planet can be traced back to the UK. Including the US and Israel. It's extraordinary.

A short section from our #MMT draft paper with @wbmosler. We thought it would be useful as a short summary of the 'provisioning process' for an independent Scotland using its own currency. My choice to opt for Scottish Krona as the currency name! Is it as simple as this? Yes.
