Want to know more about the shadowy men influencing your future and that of your family? Start with Shanker Singham, and take some time to research the many pies in which he has his fingers. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/sep/23/shanker-singham-is-he-the-brains-of-brexit
Here's some more illuminating material on Singham's "ideas" and his right-wing anarcho-capitalist connections. Brexit is a major coup for their radically anti-democratic, deregulated, environment-raping vision of the future.

Call me naive, but I think there are warnings from history that taking power away from the people and placing it in the hands of a few super-rich, arrogant, unaccountable men (and they are mainly men) generally doesn't end well. At a time of environmental crisis it is suicidal.
These people are hijacking democracies (witness the Brexit referendum) in order to push through their radical policies.
You won't hear about them in the mainstream media. And that is deliberate. They need to operate away from scrutiny. That should tell you everything.

Do you still think your average Joe Soap knew what he was voting for when he put that X in the box on referendum day?
Because I'd bet good money he didn't realise he was voting for this.

In addition, anyone who voted Conservative last December was voting to put power into the hands of these people, and to remove it from the possibility of democratic checks and oversight. Effectively, it delivered an anarcho-capitalist coup using the tools of democracy.
Singham's pronouncements about "competition on the merits" (see vid on @bakerstherald article above) is of course bullshit of the first rank, demonstrated by the government's corrupt, non-tendered contract distribution during this crisis. And it's bullshit because: humans.
Moreover it's faith-based bullshit. These are free-market fundamentalists. And like all year-zero thinking, its actual real-world consequences will be human suffering on an enormous scale.
Where is the media scrutiny? This is also a gross failure of the fourth estate.
