SOCIAL CARE:

With care homes facing numerous challenges, we must not forget that 40,000 care home workers were lost due to vaccine mandates

The loss of tens of thousands of staff has undoubtedly contributed to ongoing staff shortages

Wouldn't it be better to give your cash to independent businesses run by real people who believe in freedom, than faceless mega-corporations who don’t? ‘Course it would... and that is where the Together Directory comes in! Check it out: https://togetherdeclaration.org/directory/

CASH: A cashless society means a record of every single transaction

With Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in the pipeline, it is vital to continue using cash

The absence of cash could enable control over people in ways never previously possible

(Montgomery Toms)

ONLINE SAFETY ACT: "Hundreds of websites will be shut down on the day that Britain’s Online Safety Act comes into effect"

Ofcom we warned this was going to be a disaster, we all knew it would be a problem - terrible for small businesses & threat to free speech

CBDCs: "It is clear that privacy cannot be guaranteed without guaranteeing anonymity" (Central Bank Digital Currency)

"The mechanisms behind a CBDC will always provide means to identify person behind a transaction"

We've seen far too much censorship & shutting down of debate in 2024

Keep fighting #together for free speech in 2025

BRITISH FARMING: "The family farm tax will make some people on less than the minimum wage, pay a 20k a year tax for 10 years…. Only they obviously won’t be able to pay it, so they’ll sell up and it will be big city corporates who buy them." (Tim Farron)
