WEF Davos is Starmer in thrall to them at the expense of the UK

[Parsley1234]

Following on from Angela in housing thread what does anyone think about the fact that Starmer has said when asked. Davos or Westminster he said Davos ? I don’t understand the WEF I want to be educated please enlighten me

Since Davos is one of the biggest gatherings of large corporate business bosses and Starmer seems to prefer that gathering to governing the country, he's made it clear whose interests he is there to serve as the PM: in essence, it's those of the transnational corporate business.

He is not alone in this. Many leaders (if not most) of other countries are like that too because global transnational corporations are now so wealthy and wield so much power, they can now effectively buy what they require in any government. It's not called corruption. It's called lobbying to give it an air of something less sinister than corruption but when these corporations (or their bosses) donate millions to someone's election campaign, surely, nobody thinks they do it expecting nothing in return? Of course, they do! And then the likes of Starmer simply legislate and regulate in their favour rather than for the interests of people in the country, who, once he is elected, have no say in booting him out until the next election is called. And then the next PM will have his/her share of donations and the whole cycle begins again.

Excellent description on first post.
I see the WFE at Davos as an opportunity to see who actually rules the planet. It's not our politicians! The money men are there, and others go to court them. Reeves and Reynolds attended this year with their begging bowls at the ready. George Osborne seems to get himself an invitation every year under one of his 182 job titles lol, and David Beckham was there too. It's an interesting mix of people.

I think it’s absolutely appropriate and right for our politicians to attend. Our economy is not in a great place and they need to be in the room with financial leaders/banks and others. It isn’t a jolly jape - there is a purpose.

Thank you for your replies so we are being governed by WEF as Starmer is in thrall to them but any politician wd have their agenda. So we are not being governed for the good of the UK but for the global elite ? What happens at these meetings ? Is this where zero carbon comes from and the push for it ?

And the farmers the push to relinquish land through taxation so our food supply is disrupted

The purpose of the WEF is to enable to the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer, which fits in nicely with Sir Keir's world view.

@Dotjones and the rest of the leaders there ?

He said he preferred Davos as a location. That was the question. And he answered Davos because it gets things done and talk moves more quickly to action than Westminster. He wasn't in the least saying he's led by Davos or that he thinks Westminster should be subservient to Davos.

@DappledThings thank you

So your post was a cutely disingenuous excuse to trot out your sgenda?

’I don’t understand. Someone please explain.’

’Well, politics and finance are intertwined.’

’Gosh! Are you saying that we are being governed by WEF as Starmer is in thrall to them but any politician wd have their agenda so we are not being governed for the good of the UK but for the global elite, hence the push to relinquish land through taxation so our food supply is disrupted? Imagine!’

I wouldn't say it's inappropriate for them to attend altogether but feel that there has to be a lot more transparency for the public as to what is being discussed in these meetings, agreements reached, actions planned etc.

Starmer or others like him aren't visiting those forums for fun or on private business. The latter would have had nothing to do with us but given that he is the PM, I personally feel all his trips should be transparent and such meetings with corporate elites minuted.

There are some meetings that cannot be disclosed in full as they may be related to state security etc but this cannot possibly apply to all of them. I have never seen any minutes of PMs' meetings with the Davos crowd, anything documents detailing what came out of those, decisions made, policies implemented as a result etc, etc...

If this is from The News Agents quickfire question, then I think having his full response is important. When asked why he answered Davos to ‘Davos or Westminster?’, he replied:

’Because Westminster is too constrained, it’s closed…Once you get out of Westminister to Davos or anywhere else, you actually engage with people that you can see working with... Westminister is a tribal shouting place.’

This reads very much as a criticism of parliament and his frustrations with how theatrical, divisive, limited and inefficient it is, rather than him being ‘in thrall’ to Davos - and he’s not wrong in his assessment of parliament.

Is it from this 2023 interview?

The PM didn't go to Davos. It was Reeves and Reynolds in 2024.
I agree that there should be more transparency with the deals they do, specifically what they promise in return.

So people are not calling the WEF a conspiracy theory any more? Hallelujah.

Since corporations were given the power to sue governments if they interfered with their profit making abilities the writing has been on the wall. People have sneered at the concept of a NWO for decades, but it's all coming into play and has been hiding in plain sight all along.

Conspiracy theories about the WEF are also generally anti-semitic as they spread the rumours that the WEF is controlled by Jews.

The people who keep banging on about farmers and inheritance tax and its detremintal impact on our food supply also tend to be ardent Brexiteers who never admit the hugely detrimental impact of Brexit on farming and our food supply.

Why would the food supply be disrupted? If it's good land it'll be bought by a more profitable (and likely better run) farmer or farming business. So the results just as likely to be more food as less.

Fear not, responders!

Having instigated this thread in a tone of hapless dimness, leading to the responses given, @Parsley1234 will be back in a moment with a post that starts 'But surely...' and then rambles on for seven or eight hundred words telling you what you ought to be thinking.

That isn’t true.

I am a remainer who is very concerned about food security. That’s why the small farmer aspect of the IHT change worries me. I know other people equally concerned. All remainers.

Making this a Brexit punishment is silly.

I think this photo summarises the intentions of the WEF's Agenda 2030 perfectly.

Feel free to keep scrolling. There are other threads.

Hey, I didn't say it wouldn't be entertaining.

How on earth have you reached the conclusion that any farms taxed out of existence will simply be bought by much better farmers?

The description of those goals

Yes me too.
The government are hell bent on punishing those who don't vote labour, even if it risks food security.
