Central Bank Digital Currencies (#CBDCs) are just regular FIAT currencies made digital, with all the bugs, data leaks and control you can expect from your government

@BBCNews anyone, including @AndyBurnhamGM, that thinks raising taxes again will solve problems is just another parasite
we need efficiency, not stealing more money from hard working people in the name of taxes
@BBCBreakfast if EVERYONE - even scammers @ofgem - agrees total cost for an average house is a stupid way to show the price cap, why don't we just use the cost per unit instead?
it's more consistent, and doesn't allow ofgem to just change the formula to make it look like we're playing less
lol
@Channel4 trying to make @elonmusk look bad but instead making him look really cool
the commentators on the show however come across as utter twats

@gerardmccl41310@JeremyVineOn5@RonnieMushiso@theJeremyVine so what? they're all parasites
the only thing that matters, economically, is are hard working people - the people that power the nation - any better off?
under any labour candidate the answer is a resounding 'no'
@JayW132 we don't even know if we'll get those 4 stations yet
and by 2039 and beyond that cost could spiral further, closing in on half a TRILLION Great British pounds

HS2. A masterclass in how Britain destroys money.
The cost:
• 2011: £32.7bn
• 2013: £45bn
• 2015: £55.7bn
• 2019: up to £88bn
• 2020: up to £106bn
• 2026: up to £102.7bn… for a fraction of the original route
What’s been cut along the way:
• 2021: Eastern leg to Leeds: SCRAPPED
• 2022: Golborne link to Scotland: SCRAPPED
• 2023: Birmingham → Manchester leg: SCRAPPED
• 2023: Crewe hub: SCRAPPED
• Euston terminus: paused, downsized from 10 platforms to 6, now needs private finance
Original plan: 11 cities, 340 miles, £32bn, open 2026.
What we’re getting: 4 stations, 140 miles, £100bn+, open 2039.
A national embarrassment, paid for by taxpayers.
@JeremyVineOn5@SylviaTidyHarri@theJeremyVine if Wayne thinks what we have is capitalism then Wayne doesn't understand what capitalism is
as for nationalising supermarkets, does Wayne not see that gov isn't fit to run a bath, let alone control our food supply
