Cashless society

That's not the point. Who are you? One bod. Now if I could tell them all about 500 guys all like you, in your constituency. That's how elections are won.

That's why they really are all into the data. All parties. Trust me. All into it. All the time. Every single policy, every statement. Run through the data. Everyone is grouped and typified, forgotten, regrouped along different lines. A hundred times a week. To try and predict what they might get away with by messaging to certain groups. It might be more specific, the parties and affiliated organisations may well have long term lists for facebook accounts and data to go with them. Honestly, I'm not sure.

Cambridge Analytica got caught. But there seems little reason you can't do it in a 'clean room', away from any official party duty or links. And then you can tell people what to do, how to use this stuff.

It's also true that the job of managing your data is routinely handed (by this government) to overseas shitbags like Peter Thiel. I'm not sure what sort of access they have or how it can reasonably be restricted.
As someone once said,
I will not make any deals with you…I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
 
We are taught to like tax. Bad people don't pay and its why we haven't enough hospitals......Bollocks.
The more you pay the more they waste.
Little people pay tax, rich people don't. The ones in control are the ones who don't pay tax.
Do you pay tax?
 
My barbers, the kebab shop and two local pubs are the businesses I can think of here that are cash only. Everywhere else is both.

I think of recent clothes purchase in jeans, a jacket, trainers… I’d never have paid cash for any of these. Shop around but then go to the ATM? No chance, get my debit card out.
 
I like to have cash with me especially when going to restaurants so I’ve got money to give for a tip.
Plus call me bit old fashioned but I like to have cash in my purse just because that’s me!
How can I slip the great-grandchildren a quick couple of quid if I’ve got no cash? :-)
A mixture of digital and money is fine by me. :-)
 
Stockholm was cashless earlier this year. Even a can of drink in a kiosk was card.

If I’m having a trip for a match then I like to take cash to keep in control of how much I’m spending. The card is there if needs be (Zizzis in Bradford for Park Avenue v Hereford was) but it’s easier for me to buy beer or food with what I know I have.
