Frankly, I am sick and tired of the Right wing media dictating the agenda and making us all poorer - so good for you Labour.

What is Reform policy to “stop the boats?”. At their Conference they announced a hypothetical MoU with Bardella, should they both ever be in Government, which Marine le Pen contradicted after backlash in France. They have no workeable policy except intimidation of asylum seekers.

I don’t think there is any real point in considering cryptocurrency as a store of value. It’s simply about perspective. The only real point of cryptocurrency is as a medium of exchange - but why bother ? Is it cheaper, is there potential for speculative gain or is it simply untraceabilty ?

Maybe the the rage on the right is due to an ageing authoritarian population - then again - likely due to a media induced rage for the interests of the wealthy. Quite why they are so exercised about ‘small boats’ is off the scale. They would lose the NHS and human rights for their inhumanity.

Maybe remind people about money 1 . It’s a store of value 2. It’s a medium of exchange 3. It’s a unit of account 4. It’s a means of deferred payment. Cryptocurrencies typically only qualify on No.2, with caveats, or possibly on No.3 . Lots of bullshit on No.1 , makes No.4 largely a pipe dream.

£72m for Reform over the weekend could be just the tip of the iceberg There's nothing to stop Elon Musk giving, via a UK X subsidiary, £300m to Restore Britain today Or a Trump ally giving £500m to Farage via a UK-registered firm There's a v narrow window to tackle big money in the elections bill

A really worrying feature of today’s media, is their ignorance and short term policies on issues vital for society and survival. Reform are extolled in most of the Media but there is nothing patriotic about them, as the Media owners will assuredly learn. Caveat emptor.
