Carol Vorderman Instagram – Special Economic Zones 🤯
These are the most frightening legacy of the Tory govt, to last for decades after the general election.
David Powell talks to me about something most of us aren’t even aware of, SEZs
Summary of my chat from @implausibleblog below ⏬️
➡️ SEZs are small individual states within a state
➡️ 74 spread across England, Scotland and Wales
➡️ 12 freeports
➡️ Biggest one is 75 km in diameter and contains the whole of Dartmoor down to Plymouth
➡️ They create their own employment law
➡️ They have their own tax system
➡️ Each SEZ has private laws run by corporations
➡️ The EU has these but these are regulated to stop corporations from making profits and sending that money offshore, without contributing any of the profit to the running/infrastructure of the SEZ
This is truly frightening… | Posted on 18/Mar/2024 20:17:32
