The Conservative Party is totally fake. It's run by globalist lackeys, who impose policies decided outside democracy by the transnational 'elite'. They only pretend to be conservative to get votes from the gullible. Watch what they do, not what they say. telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2024/0…

20mph zones are going to be imposed all across the UK's towns and cities as part of the 'climate lockdowns' agenda and the wider war on personal mobility. The resulting delays will be bad for the economy, which means fewer resources for healthcare etc. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It's vital that as many people as possible stop buying newspapers or subscribing to their websites - and also stop paying their BBC licence fee. This is the best way to reduce the flow of establishment propaganda and disinformation. telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

Car insurance is now a massive scam - and is being used as a backdoor way of forcing poorer motorists off the roads, as costs associated with the radical 'green' agenda are loaded on. It should be voluntary, so no one is forced to pay. theguardian.com/money/2024/apr…

The war on motorists often causes immense problems for the elderly and disabled, as well as harming local economies. But councils clearly think following orders from above is more important than the interests of their residents. bbc.com/news/articles/…

15-minute cities sound like a nice idea, but in reality they'd do immense economic damage by undermining economies of scale and restricting access to jobs. They're actually a sinister attempt to use the built environment to undermine individual freedom: transportwatch.wordpress.com/2023/06/25/15-…

Highly lucrative rolling stock companies have been one of the biggest scams of the bogus-rail-privatisation era. It speaks volumes that Starmer's crowd are happy for crony-capitalist financial institutions to have their snouts in the subsidy trough.

If motorists are forced to do 20mph on main roads between towns, then increasingly they won't bother making such journeys at all. These deliberate delays are really about 'nudging' people out of their cars and restricting them to 15-minute cities. dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wal…

Britain's financial sector is being sabotaged by the pro-EU, globalist establishment - who are strangling it with high taxes, bureaucracy and red tape. After wrecking the economy, they hope to push a demoralised UK back under Brussels' control. telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

The 'climate lockdowns' agenda - including punitive road charges - has already been decided outside democracy by the transnational 'elite'. It will be imposed whoever governs under the UK's de facto one-party state, including by the fake-conservatives. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…

The EU 'elite' are creating a totalitarian system of digital IDs, designed to control the population, suppress dissent and further undermine free speech. This is a globalist agenda, so it won't be long before they try to impose it on the UK too. biometricupdate.com/202404/how-to-…

The fake-conservatives are trying to fool voters in the North that their towns are being regenerated by wasting vast sums tarting up railway and bus stations - when in reality ministers are wrecking the economy with high taxes, bureaucracy and red tape. thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/24275144.…

This is just the start of the elite's coming war on air travel - part of a wider agenda to severely restrict personal mobility. Flying will increasingly be the preserve of the wealthy or well-connected, with everyone else forced to take holidays closer to home.

Both UK and EU elites are hellbent on severely restricting the mobility of their populations by forcing them out of their cars. And they don't seem to care about the horrendous economic consequences in a region already in rapid relative decline. telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

The radical green agenda is now being imposed on shipping - which as in other sectors will mean lower efficiency and higher costs, pushing up prices, hindering trade and choking off growth. bbc.com/news/articles/…

The neglect of basic road maintenance is clearly a deliberate policy - designed to 'nudge' motorists out of their cars by making driving more stressful, dangerous and expensive. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/2…

Electrifying barely-used branch lines is a monumental waste of taxpayers' money, delivering trivial benefits at vast expense. In many cases it would make far more sense to rip up the tracks and convert them into roads - used by many times more people. lancasterguardian.co.uk/news/transport…

The giveaway is that they're failing to install the power capacity needed for a wholesale switch to electric vehicles. Their real agenda is a big reduction in car ownership and severe restrictions on mobility - 'climate lockdowns' and 15-minute cities.

The Mayor of London, the Greater London Authority, Transport for London - all these institutions have been a disaster for the capital and should be abolished at the earliest opportunity. freedomfordrivers.blog/2024/04/19/abo…

Punitive road charges are a key component of the transnational elite's plan to restrict the public's mobility by forcing them out of their cars. All the main parties support the 'climate lockdowns' agenda, so their imposition is only a matter of time. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/2…
