01 It was only yesterday that Rishi Sunak said that it was 'imperative' to maintain access to cash. Yet today the UK Govt announced their intention to allow gamblers to use debit cards with slot machines.
"The move will allow pubs, casinos and slot venues to compete in an increasingly cashless society, ministers argue."
"The changes will be made via a type of legislation that comes into force automatically, and can only be blocked if the House of Commons or Lords objects within a 40-day window."
This clearly shows us where the government are when it comes to protecting cash. Nowhere.
In the public sphere they continue to wax lyrical about cash access but won't dare to even consider legislating businesses to accept cash in the UK. They're more inclined to listen to the gambling lobby groups than they are their own citizens.

02 💸 The British PM Rishi Sunak has signalled again that it is 'imperative' to maintain access to cash. This shouldn't be just 'reasonable' access, but equitable access to all.
🫣 But this continues to fall on the deaf ears of the banks including the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) who continue to prove powerless against bank closures.
📈 'Banking deserts' have been emerging more rapidly over the past few years. Parts of Birmingham are one example and this isn't a case where the government have been 'too slow'. This is by design and to ultimately transition the economy to majority digital, leaving a few so called million 'vulnerable' using cash for everyday life.
💪 It's up to us all individually to keep cash in demand and in circulation as much as possible.
❤️ Remember, a cashless society is a soulless society. So let's keep cash alive.

10 📖 Recommended reading from Kevin Dowd, Professor of Finance and Economics, Durham University.
🟥 The abolition of cash would deprive us all of the benefits of cash
🟥 Cash is a very efficient way of handling small transactions
🟥 Cash transactions are immediate and flexible.
🟥 Cash is anonymous and, traditionally, the anonymity of cash was considered to be one of its greatest benefits.
🟥 Cash does not need a password and, unlike a bank account, can't be hacked.
🟥 The usefulness of cash is not dependent on technology that might break down.
"The war on cash [WoC] threatens to undermine our privacy, expropriate large amounts of legitimately acquired wealth, expose us all to the risks of fallible digital systems, inflict severe
adverse effects on the vulnerable, enable central banks to embark on dangerous NIRP policies and destroy our civil liberties.
The WoC is a creepy fantasy."

They are trying to convince us that the world needs CBDCs so that those who are “unbanked” can participate in the digital economy without requiring a bank account. This is, of course, absurd...

20 "Whilst every single one of us will have our bank accounts scanned, the targets are those linked to receipt of a benefit including:
🔴10 million Brits in receipt of the state pension
🔴3 million people with long-term illness or disabilities
🔴Hundreds of thousands of carers making great sacrifices to look after elderly and disabled family members.
These are the people who would most likely be the victims of false accusations, as happened in the Post Office Scandal."
Silkie Carlo writes about the Government's plans to snoop on all of our bank accounts on the premise of dealing with welfare fraud & error.

26 Considering that both Tesco & Sainsbury's make roughly £300m annually from harvesting & selling customer loyalty card data, it's fair to say Pret are also making a chunk of change.
Having read a section of Pret's privacy policy concerning third party sharing, it highlights the importance of using pseudonyms, email aliasing, alternative addresses & phone numbers so that your data can't be useful to these companies.
