I guess the ones who want this sort of stuff will always be about. But count binface got about 200 votes, so his 700 hardly seems like an achievement. Just over 2% of the vote. It’s his hedge fund backers, slot on a TV ‘news’ show and how he hates LGBTQ that’s worrying.

I like Count Binface. He makes more sense than most of the others standing for election.

Just another culture war specialist.

It's all the rage these days (pun intended)

So they not entitled to have opinions or what

spit it out left winger

I wondered originally if he'd had dodgy transactions go into his account or it was due to anyone he was linked with, under a due diligence check - but now it appears it's due to his views. I think with us fast tracking into a cashless society, this is a very concerning stance for any bank to have. People might not agree with my political views or my ethical views, should someone refuse me a bank account on the back of those views - I think the government pushing for three months notice in future is not good enough. Especially now as the individual will have to declare everytime he opens a new account, that he has been refused a bank account before. The private bank in Farage's scenario was one that got heavily fined after the financial crisis, due to bad business practises, so should we refuse them the right to operate as a result.

Anyway, is this for real...

I'm all for technology but that seems like blatant data collecting, we can already just tap a card or phone. No need for it.

I think from what I see, the future will not have cards, much the same as todays generation is doing away with cash, in another fifty+ years they will probably both be obsolete (cash & cards) - does that mean we will transfer everything to our phone, no I don't think so, currently I unlock my banking with my finger print - so I don't need passwords or any other log in details, they will just need to transfer that same technology into retailers, and countries like Japan or China are probably already doing/using it. Eyes or facial recognition is just another form like finger prints of unlocking stuff, I don't know which method is the more secure, which ever one it is probably will be the progress. Banking will be completely digital in the future, I can see it being abused turned into government credits for things such as pensions, benefits, travel - so x amount of credits for food, credits for medicine, credits for clothes, credits for travel, I just know the digital system is going to be abused by those in power, there will be no turning back to cash or cards, we will be under the complete control of the government and the financial sector (sorry guys, I did warn you). Don't be surprised if we see people chipped in the hands. It's hard to know what devices will be around (such as phones) because things change too quick, I can't see beyond phones at the moment, but let's not forget 50 years ago, we didn't even have this technology to even contemplate it.

I don't take cash anywhere I have fingerprint set up on my phone so there's no limit to what I can pay for by just pointing my phone at it. Haven't taken a wallet out in years.

where as i have never used my phone to pay for anything and always take my wallet out with me* and only access my online banking thru my laptop at home.

*apart from a couple of months ago when i had the embarrassment of being at the Tesco checkout with no wallet and therefore no way of paying

 

[luvgonzo]

Yeah Google on my phone.

All of them I think. How much worse could he do than the last 2-3 governments.

I don't know about the "save the child" bit but I wasn't keen on children being vaccinated. Probably go as far as to say I was against it tbh.

this is not just his stance for Covid, he is well documented in pushing anti vaccination message for kids in general. He claims they cause autism.

A lot of this language of they, him, her is language that comes from non other than financial sector, because they want people to conform to a standard of behaviours that they set. You might remember the Halifax story some while back over the name badges. It's all about language and if you don't use the vocabulary that they endorse, well we all know now from the Canadian goverment example and that of Coutts what happens. It's only going to get worse with the advancement of AI, which in future will be used to conduct job interviews, I think it already is to a certain degree, and it's programmed with the responses that they expect from you. It really is confirm or deny by robots.
