Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

I get you don't like Farage, that is fine, but if you want to call Tether a "Dodgy Crypto" then you need to call all of them "Dodgy" no matter who made it, no matter why it was made, they must all be classed as "Dodgy".

The main reason I can find for Farage not backing and wanting to stop the Bank of England from generating it's own "Stable Coin" is because in doing so, you would be required to:

1: Hand over all your privacy on usage of the coin because it would be tracked

2: Require Digital ID to purchase and Spend

3: Be able to be removed from you at a moments notice because you would be forced to use a "UK Government" created wallet

4: Be restricted to only "Government Approved" merchants

5: Be Linked to the value of the Euro not the pound because the EU wouldn't allow a "Britcoin" to be used in the EU without it being linked to the price of the Euro.


I am sorry but the whole reason behind Crypto is to be away from the central banks, the governments over reach and spying, the ability to obtain it without purchasing and many other things.

I would not trust the UK Government no matter which party it was with control over that, I don't even trust them with my money as it is but have practically no choice but to allow them to see into my bank, what I am spending money on etc just like every other person in this country.

Sorry but Farage is right to not want a Britcoin, but if he tries to push Tether as a coin for the UK, he will be wrong for that, the same if they tried to push XRP and others.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Aren't unregulated crypto currencies just means for criminals and rogue nations to move money around undetected, without the need to buy a Turkish barbers?

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Nope they are used by all sorts of people including governments when they want to reduce the chances of a transaction being traced, as anyone who says Crypto exchanges cannot be traced, don't understand how they work.

It's not difficult to trace a Crypto transaction after all, when you move funds, each time you do it, there is an entry to a ledger, it doesn't matter who own's the currency etc there is just a transaction ID linked to the funds from "Wallet A to Wallet B" and all you need to know is one end of that Transaction and you have the whole trail.

Crypto get's used for all sorts of things, yes bad things, some very very very bad things, but those sorts of things also get purchased with real cash, bank transfers, jewels etc, it can always be traced, unless you are using something like "Uncut raw diamonds" and other stones/gems which makes it more difficult but still not impossible to someone with the ability to trace them via minerals etc in the stones.


People give Crypto a hard time because they don't understand or don't like it because Governments cannot control it as easily or typically as easy as they can with cash and other forms of currency.


My only issue with Crypto is the volatility of the price, with the likes of Bitcoin hitting over $100k per coin and now down at what $80k a coin??, imagine buying 100 coins at $90k each and losing $10k on each, and with the way the Governments of the world are going, it's going to go down even further because of Net "let's destroy the global economies" Zero.

This is why when/if I ever manage to find a company willing to give me a job with permanent home working due to medical issues and caring responsibilities, I will start buying £100 worth of Gold every month because when the Governments cripple the economies which is going to happen and cash become worthless which is going to happen, I will have something that will be worth something.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Crypto tends to go up & down at the behest of Musk and his crypto mates.
It's like buying shares, you never know when some big business mogul is going to shaft you ;)

I want a pay rise as well, 6.6% would do nicely.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Don't worry they will be back out on strike in a few weeks, the Union fraudsters will not be happy with the extra £2 a month they are going to charge and will want more, so will demand the doctors get more and they will just keep doing it, till a junior doctors starting salary is £100k a year.

This is what happens when you have a spineless government controlled by Unions!

Let's see what happens under Burnham. He will be in a stronger position than Starmer.

No true Brit should value the democracy-hating Trump.

In the real world, criticism by Trump makes the recipient look better.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Wishful thinking I fear but let's agree to disagree. :)

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Immigration, including small boats, is down by quite a bit now? Not really sure Burnham will be able to do much more.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

It's not what Trump says but who he is that matters most here. His credibility is shot to bits and being criticised by him is actually a compliment!

Yes, the Boris wave is over.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Certainly down a massive amount since the time Jenrick and Braverman were in charge of it.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Could you clarify how Starmer failed in immigration, please, as the figures appear to show otherwise…

Tuts, you can prove anything with figures, especially if there's a graph attached, doesn't beat a gut feeling, especially if its got a good dose of bias on the side

So are you saying it was better under Laurel & Hardy?(Jenrick and Braverman).

It's not better under anybody.

Comedy move by Sir Keir to gift Andy a £4.7bn hole in the transfer of our wealth to the military industrial complex.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Yes, an expensive knife in the back!

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

The comedy lies in the fact that the hole is at least £5 billion too small. I don’t know if you noticed but the second Cold War has been on for a good few years now, and we’re woefully ill-equipped.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/...rrer=deep-link

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Even if the second Cold War is happening - which I doubt - throwing billions at the MoD for more project managers to procure more equipment, inadequate before it even reaches the field, designed for warfare 30 years ago, isn’t the answer.

NATO combined military spending is over $1.5 trillion. Eclipsing that of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea combined. Another £5bn here or there is won’t touch the sides of the underlying problem. The military industrial complex has no incentive to drive efficiencies if everyone just writes it a blank cheque.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

yea but shafting andy burnham is the right thing to do

Why? A bit petty surely?

The Rwanda idea was never going to work, it was a last minute thing designed to win votes.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Starmer said this spending promise was the right thing to do,knowing it was 5 billion short, with no idea where the money will come from.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

I'm now asking for my pension to be paid as a lump sum a year in advance :D

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

You don’t want to be doing that - you’ll get taxed at 40% or 45% the first month, and won’t get the overpayment back till the following year… ;)

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Rwanda was illegal so good luck with that. If it was such a great idea, why was it saved to the last minute when they knew they would lose the election. Hint: It wasn't a good idea.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

yes but 60% of something is better than 100% of bugger all :D

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

It couldn’t work while the ECHR and the Human Rights Act remained in place, which hadn’t dawned on Sunak until after he made his six promises to judge him by!

There’s nothing else that would have prevented it from working as far as I know.

It’s always a good idea to amend or end existing legislation that gets in the way of proposed changes a government wants to make.

---------- Post added at 16:33 ---------- Previous post was at 16:31 ----------

Yes, but you talk as if it’s impossible to change legislation. It isn’t.

---------- Post added at 16:35 ---------- Previous post was at 16:33 ----------

Does that include illegal immigration?

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

If you mean boat people, yes it does…

As I posted slightly later in this thread

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

how many small boat migrants have been deported?

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

I think the answer is one . . . three times now :D

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Oh dear, despite it being a lazy trope that the left of the Labour Party were being influenced by Russia it turns out the disgraced former Lord Peter Mandelson was a “privileged contact” of Russian spies. :rofl:

Sir Kier - forensic

Between Boris and his links to the Lord Lebedev and who knows who funded Nigel’s 5 houses bought with cash it’s quite probable the only place without Russian interference in British politics was the Labour left.

https://www.agcc.co.uk/news-article/...contact-by-kgb

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

From that article
That list includes Corbyn who was on the Labour left.

Maybe the only interference-free place was the Liberal Democrats?

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

The Kremlin probably, in fact definitely will have, files on damn near everyone involved in Politics and Big Business.

Much the same as the UK will have files on all the main players in most countries :PP:

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Yes, quite.

A world of difference between having a file, or having them as a valued asset. Or on payroll via guest appearances on RT.

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

people are only a 'valued asset' until they're not . . . and subsequently desire a move to a ground floor flat ;)

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Sometimes faster than they desired, through an open window…

Re: Starmer’s chronicles
 

Yep then they somehow manage to "fall through and out" a hotel 3ft thick reinforced glass window near the top of the hotel.

The thing is every party compromised in some way or another, doesn't matter which party it is, they are compromised, Conservatives by Russia apparently, Labour by Russia, China, India and the Unions, the Lib Dem's by the EU, Reform by Russia and China, Restore Britain by Hungary and Poland and finally the SNP by themselves and the EU.


Politics in this country is a mess, it will never get better and will only ever get worse, especially when we have a party in charge who are willing to remove freedoms in order to maintain control and are trying to ban any form of competition, by controlling what information can be seen by anyone.

Come on now Papa, Starmer gave us some really good times on here :D

He also managed to unite the Country, although not in the way he intended. That Burnham chap also has ideas to unite the country, although a few rolls of duct tape, 6 tubes of 'no nails', and a cheap bus service to Crewe might not be enough ;)

Since hes now officially gone, I think we can close this one.
