You right-wing conspiracists have to take a clip out of context in order to provide "proof" of Starmer's WEF agenda. There is more to the problem that laying the blame for the creeping authoritarianism solely to the WEF. Sure the WEF appears shadowy, yet it is merely an interest group for global capitalists. Isn’t the real problem global capitalism itself, rather than just this group ? Putting profits before human and environmental needs. The problem with the right – your men like Farage and Tice – is they need to scapegoat elites and keep the existing economic system in place, which is what Orbán does in Hungary, thereby attracting the oligarchs that promote disaster capitalism and intent on eroding civil liberties and workers’ rights. Persuading working people to vote against their economic interests is the whole basis of economic liberty.

It’s worth focusing on the real issues and not getting drawn into conspiracist fictions that don’t hold up under scrutiny.

@susannamarker2582 Still pushing the same debunked stuff I see. The claim that the EU is based on an "old German foreign policy model called Limited Sovereignty" has been debunked, as the EU is a cooperative union where member states voluntarily pool aspects of their sovereignty but remain independent nations. It was founded on principles of post-WWII European integration to promote peace and economic cooperation, not on any historical German foreign policy. Do you have any evidence to support your claim?

@susannamarker2582 I am not concerned with that, it is your opinion, but you have repeated false information that “old German foreign policy model called Limited Sovereignty,” Evidence? The EU’s origins lie in post-WWII efforts to promote peace and economic cooperation in Europe, not in any German foreign policy model. The EU grew from initiatives like the European Coal and Steel Community (1951) and the Treaty of Rome (1957), aimed at integrating European economies to prevent further conflicts. These efforts were spearheaded by countries like France, Germany, Italy, and others, but they weren’t based on any historical German policy of “limited sovereignty.” If the EU was based on anything then it was Hayek’s idea that free trade and the movement of money across borders foster economic growth and prosperity. Why put up barriers to this by exiting? Evidence for your debunked claim.

@susannamarker2582 The EU is built on shared sovereignty where member states voluntarily pool certain aspects of their sovereignty to achieve common goals, like economic cooperation, peace, and stability. This is different from limited sovereignty during Germany’s post-war situation, where sovereignty was externally restricted by the Allied powers. The EU works through consensus and cooperation among its independent nations, each of which retains significant control over areas like security, foreign policy, and taxation. Historical German foreign policy influenced Germany’s approach to multilateralism, but the EU isn’t a German-led project – it’s a union of 27 countries shaping decisions together. If you find out how the EU functions, you'll find that it's much more about collaboration than domination by any one nation.

@edwinmoreton2136 Is this out of interest or facetiousness?

@edwinmoreton2136 Is that a genuine question or are you being facetious again?

@jjrider6758 OK then we should consider evidence rather than empty ideological rhetoric! No one has ever been able to answer the question or explain and provide evidence of what exactly the WEF does that makes your life worse off. What is more, why you think Klaus Schwab - a man with no real power - is such a threat. Sure the WEF appears shadowy, yet this unelected powerful cult is merely an interest group for global capitalists. Now is the problem regulation to capitalism, or is it the capitalist system itself that puts profits before human needs? The problem with the right-wing populists– your men Farage and Tice – is they need to scapegoat elites and keep the existing economic system in place, which is what Viktor Orbán is doing in Hungary. I have never got an answer to this: please explain then how doing away with the WEF will do anything to improve your life What specific evidence can you provide to support the claim that the UK government is being directly controlled by the WEF rather than making independent decisions ?
