Freeports and Special Economic Zones - just how dangerous are they?

Scottish Independence Podcasts

David Powell appeared on John Drummond's TNT show recently with a worrying take on the proliferation of Freeports and Special Economic Zones across the UK and the sinister forces which may lie behind them. This is in marked contrast to the reassuring statements being made by the Scottish Government in relation to Green Freeports. Let us know what you think about both perspectives!

David is a senior lecturer in Fine Art at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, and describes himself as a "reluctant" political activist. He is a prolific commentator on twitter where he is better known as @EuropeanPowell
