He starts off quite well, despite having such a questionable hairstyle, but by the end he starts sounding a bit like every other crazy conspiracy theorist.
I don't think it's a conspiracy to be using my phone to pay for things. I much prefer it that way. I no longer carry cash - or my wallet. To pay for something with cash seems almost dirty to me - as if some tax avoidance is going on somewhere.

He has some good points, but not everything is a conspiracy. I do think we are being taken for a ride over the energy prices and fuel costs though.

I disagree that it's only the 'elite, rich' who are in it for themselves though. There's plenty of people who are just exploiting customers by using the current climate to profiteer. I had a roofer look at my garage recently to give me a quote on renewing it. He told me £5000 to do it - 2 people - 2 days. I asked him why is it so expensive and he told me "well prices have gone up. You need 10 sheets of OSB - and it's £90 per sheet at the moment. I opened my laptop and showed him it's just over £32 per sheet in Wickes and told him to **** off and try robbing someone else. ****. He's not the only one who tried to scam me either. The blue collar workers are just as bad. They all offered me cash deal incentives so they wouldn't have to declare their earnings.

Dodgy hair ! <laugh>
It's nice that you trust banks with everything you own and that they would never control when and how much you can withdraw in cash without sticking thier noses into why you want your own money back out off them ! And deciding if its ok or not ! or what eventually you can spend it on :bandit:
As far as trades or other services it's common sense to get at least a few quotes to compare just as you should shop around if buying a tv insurance etc ,,,

There's a shortage of conspiracy theories because thier all coming true ! <cheers>

I've never been told what I can spend my money on (apart from by my wife). Banks will never have that power - no matter what some tin-foil on twitter says.

IN terms of getting several quotes - I agree, however you end up going with who is going to fleece you the least. EVERYONE is out to rob you, not just the rich.
