Forcing 40k UK family homes to be sold a year for care costs isn't "free market freedom", it's a massive state-sanctioned wealth drain on working families. ​Calling pooled social care funding a "death tax" was pure Tory & Reform propaganda to protect the super-rich from paying a penny. Unjust.

Stop hunting 'bad apples.' 🍎 Barry's Economics argues the system is a factory designed to make monsters. Extreme wealth kills empathy, while #WealthInequality creates victims. We don't need better apple picking; we need to stop the factory🏭 that makes monsters 👹 . www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1vF...

A major theme is the UK's shift from a manufacturing powerhouse to a service-based economy. Price notes, services like retail and hospitality are less "productive" (lower output per head) than manufacturing, hense stagnant real wages! Ever heard this mentioned by politicians or the press?

Ex-gov economist Vicky Price explains why the UK is in "mismanaged decline." 📉 ​Politicians dodge the truth: stagnant wages, a broken energy market, and huge regional gaps are fueling #WealthInequality. We need long-term strategy, not 4-year election cycles. ​Full watch: youtu.be/FI7tE950BVI?...

My mother told me once that the trouble with socialism is once it has worked (pulled people out of poverty) they turn their back on it. When people are comfortably off they (think) they don’t need it so much. But there’s others who need you to help them: Don’t be selfish, be a socialist.

The strategy is simple: Make the cost of the Greenland demand higher than the reward! If the UK and EU stand together, we don't need to hurt the US economy, we just need to hurt the specific donors and voters who keep the administration in power. 🇬🇧🇪🇺 #TradeWar

Energy Leverage ⚡ The US sells massive amounts of LNG to Europe. The UK/EU should review contracts and signal a switch to Qatar/Norway. The US Oil & Gas lobby is powerful in this admin. If they see their market share threatened, they will demand a resolution.

The Green Weapon (CBAM) 🌍 New for 2026: We use the Carbon Border Mechanism to tax US Steel & Iron. It hits Rust Belt donors hard but is legally "climate policy," not a trade war. It’s harder to fight and forces industrial giants to lobby the White House to save their profits.

​Land is a finite resource. It shouldn't be a piggy bank for the ultra-rich to park wealth. ​If we don't fix these laws, the British countryside becomes a corporate factory floor without people. It’s time to tax wealth, not work. 📉 #LandReform #TaxTheRich #WealthInequality

5. Reclaim the Water 💧 He holds legacy licenses to pump millions of liters from aquifers for free, forever. ​The Fix: Review and revoke permanent abstraction licenses. Water is a public good and it shouldn't be a private asset attached to a deed that only the rich can exploit.

Drewie77 @drewie77.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
4. Homes for Locals, Not Portfolios 🏠 He evicted farm workers to turn barns into £1.2m luxury pads, gutting the village. ​The Fix: Reform planning laws. Barn conversions must include affordable/tied local housing. Stop erasing rural communities for "asset monetization."

Drewie77 @drewie77.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
3. Break the Land Monopoly 🗺️ Dyson quietly bought 56 sq miles because nobody was watching. ​The Fix: A transparent public land registry (we need to know who owns England) + Anti-Monopoly laws. Give councils power to block purchases that concentrate too much land in one hand.

Drewie77 @drewie77.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
2. Stop Subsidising Billionaires 💷 Why is taxpayer money paying a multi-billionaire to plant trees on his estate? ​The Fix: Means-test farming subsidies. Introduce a hard cap on total payments. Public cash should support food security and struggling small-holders, not boost the ROI of mega-estates.

Drewie77 @drewie77.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
​Close the "Dyson Loophole" (Inheritance Tax) 🛑 Right now, farmland gets 100% Agricultural Property Relief (APR). That’s why he bought it. ​The Fix: Cap APR at £1-2m. Protect genuine family farms, but stop billionaires using 30,000 acres as a tax-free vault for their dynasty.
100
Drewie77 @drewie77.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
So we know Dyson bought 36k acres of Britain to dodge tax & harvest subsidies. How do we stop the next billionaire from doing the same and rising #WealthInequality further? ​Here is the policy roadmap we need to stop the countryside from becoming a tax haven for the 1%. 🧵 👇
100
Drewie77 @drewie77.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
​Dyson is proving that in modern Britain, land isn't for food or people—it's a vehicle for the ultra-rich to park wealth, dodge taxes, and harvest subsidies. If we don't change the laws, the entire countryside will be owned by corporations, not farmers. 📉 ​📋
022
Drewie77 @drewie77.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
This isn't farming; it's financial engineering. He treats the British countryside like a factory floor—optimizing for data and profit while erasing the culture and people who actually lived there.

Drewie77 @drewie77.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
​The "Woodland" Scam He planted 500 acres of forest. Sounds nice? It generates carbon credits (money), timber income (money), and shooting rights for the wealthy (money). It’s an asset class that appreciates while requiring almost no labor.

Drewie77 @drewie77.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
​Monetizing EVERYTHING. He’s not just farming crops. • Converting old barns into £1.2m luxury homes. • Selling water rights (depleting aquifers). • Acting as a "renewable energy landlord" with wind/solar farms. He extracts value from every inch of land while the community sees none of it.

Drewie77 @drewie77.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
​Hypocrisy Alert 🚨 Dyson was a vocal Brexiteer who claimed it would be great for Britain... then moved his HQ to Singapore. Meanwhile, he used his political access to shape UK farming policy to perfectly suit his massive, high-tech estates. Rules for thee, but not for me.

5The Human Cost: Traditional farm workers living in tied cottages for get evicted. He sold off or rented their homes at market rates to outsiders. He replaced 20 men with one £500k GPS-tractor. Local schools lost pupils; village shops closed. He gutted the rural community for "efficiency."

Drewie77 @drewie77.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
How is it allowed? The System is Rigged. The government designed subsidies that favor scale. Dyson drains wetlands and plants forests not just for the planet, but because he has the capital to wait 50 years for the payout. Small family farms can't compete and are sold off to giants like him.
100
Drewie77 @drewie77.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
Why is he doing this? Reason #2: Free Public Money. He’s a billionaire receiving hundreds of thousands in taxpayer-funded subsidies. The new post-Brexit rules (which he lobbied for!) pay huge sums for "environmental goods" like planting trees. He gets paid to increase his wealth. 💸
100
Drewie77 @drewie77.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
Why is he doing this? reason #1: Tax Avoidance. In buying land he's buying a tax shelter. He leverages Agricultural Property Relief (APR) to slash inheritance tax to ZERO. He can pass this massive empire to his kids tax-free, while you pay full freight. It’s "estate planning disguised as farming."

Drewie77 @drewie77.bsky.social · 01/01/2026
Most people think James Dyson is just the vacuum guy. He isn't. He quietly became Britain's biggest private farmer—owning 36,000 acres (more than the Queen did). Why? It’s not just about growing wheat. It’s about a massive wealth accumulation scheme hidden in plain sight. 🚜💰

Sadly, the gap between the haves and have-nots remains stubbornly wide. In Dickens’ time, it was measured in soot-stained rags and workhouse gruel. Today, it’s food banks beside penthouse suites, while zero-hours contracts and hedge funds grow.
