The UK Government wants to do away with centralized powers by handing them over to private small states run under corporate governance to further super-concentrate wealth accumulation. Big Govt is being hollowed out by both Cons and Labour to facilitate the transfer of powers to those running the zones. Tax exemption is the cherry on top within these privately protected jurisdictions. Brexit thrives on deregulating laws that used to protect people from malign corporate interests compounded by stealth incursions into the public sector. Once companies have got their tax breaks and extracted whatever resources they can, they will pack up and move to the next available zone.
