Worldwide IT Colllapse Underlines The Folly Of “Cashless”!

Posted on: 22/07/2024

This excellent article by James Tapper and Gaby Eretuyan at The Observer, highlights the perils of a “cashless” society.

CrowdStrike are just the latest software provider to demonstrate that totally relying on leading edge technology is as sensible as using a lemming as your mountain guide…

The UK is an outlier in that the British public have no legal right to have their cash accepted for payments.

France, Norway and Spain are soon to be joined by Ireland in having Payment Choice laws. Such laws guarantee that the public can spend their cash, when and where they choose.

40 million British adults told YouGov last year that they want the same legal right to use their cash as enjoyed by the public in all of the UK’s neighbours.

The UK government, led by PM Sir Keir Starmer, will surely want to give those 40 million people what they want and need - Payment Choice.

And just to be sure, the Payment Choice Alliance will be at The Labour Party Conference in Liverpool in September, meeting with every Labour MP who cares about their constituents strong desire for Payment Choice.
