When Tories say 'Freeport', people imagine the dockside area. Wrong.

The zones are 75km wide.
They cover schools, hospitals, towns, National Parks & lots of housing.

#Freeports are destined to become #CharterCities & to be controlled for profit by a Tory crony.

You have no say

@UKnoGum If they get voted out, will this meth crazed libertarian binfire of a fantasy die with them, or are Labour up for this crap too now?

@freequaybuoy
Good question. The answer is, a few Labour MPs seem to have seen the greedy & succumbed...

In addition, Tories have sabotaged the contracts to make them so expensive to cancel that if Labour tried, it'd bankrupt the country & it still wouldn't stop these Tory atrocities.

Like an infestation of knotweed, these contracts can't be removed without vast expense & huge effort...

& as soon as Tories are reelected, they'll extend the contracts & we'll all be back where we are now.

It's a scaled-up version of the tried and trusted methodology used with the Enterprise Zones in the eighties and nineties which is how Peel Holdings got feudal lordship over large parts of the Northwest.
