I always knew you were a leftie loon underneath it all comrade
No mate. I left that behind in my 20s. I’m now all in favour of conscious capitalism and the Small Business.

A savage transfer of wealth.
I’m a dinasour myself to be fair, but I honestly wouldnt buy anything online that I could buy in town.
I prefer going into a shop and seeing the streets busy doing business. Maybe thats all over now, hopefully not.

Buy online off small businesses. @caulifloweredneanderthal posted up a decent link a while back:
But, you’re right. Buy local, and pay cash.

Stripe now valued at $70-100bn after their latest funding round.
Anyone with any designs on a bit of independence would want to be paying cash as much as possible.

Agreed, its in a fight for survival though.
Being used less and less and like a lot of other things, the auld covid has accelerated its demise.
Independence is gone. We live in a dictatorship now. Checkpoints all over the roads, businesses forced to close, fines for having someone visit your house. We’ve gone WAY too far

Hopefully that wasn’t too early in the conference

Well done to @Heyyoubehindthebushes, @TheUlteriorMotive, @Tierneevin1979, @Tassotti, @Thomas_Brady, and co. Lying about your travel history in order to avoid quarantine packages carries the joint-longest sentence on the list, with a potential penalty of 10 years in prison under the UK’s strict new Covid travel rules.
@KinvarasPassion, @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy and @pudns were dumb enough to think that sexual activity with a child would carry a stiffer sentence.
“Ladies, gentlemen, queen-king unicorns, we are pproaching peak madness. Please ensure your safety belts remain fastened.”
For reference, here are the other sentences:
- Sexual Assault: 10 years [Section 3(4)(b) of the Sexual Offences Act of 2003]
- Racially-motivated assault: 2 years [Section 29, Crime and Disorder Act of 1998]
- Child Abduction: 7 years [Section 4, Child Abduction Act of 1984]
- Sexual Activity with a Child: 5 years [Section 16, Sexual Offences Act of 2003]
- Intent to injure her Majesty the Queen: 7 years [Section 3, Treason Act of 1842]
- Possession of child pornography: 3 years [Section 66, Coroners and Justice Act of 2009]
- Causing death by careless driving: 5 years [Section 20, Road Safety Act of 2006]

I thought that was only a proposal of Hancock’s, that it hadn’t been implemented yet?
They could smuggle it through the existing forgery laws but there is too much opposition to it.
