I don't see the point. What next? A class for gay people? Lesbians? Bisexuals? Just let them run against their biological equivalent. If they want to wear a dress and a rainbow headband, no problem. There is a reason for this law. Otherwise we end up with the ridiculous spectacle of 2 blokes competing in the womens pool final. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-14577879/Piers-Morgan-leads-outrage-two-transgender-players-contest-final-womens-pool-competition-Sharron-Davies-labels-event-grossly-wrong-way.html

I'm surprised China would want to risk investing in the mess that the UK has become. But I guess the two governments have a lot in common now.

No surprise Labour would fund this. I wonder how long before the BBC pays them to participate in a Pro Palestine documentary, while pretending to be unaware of their background.

Me too. Which makes us both anti-cashless. It really isn't complicated. Admitting to it doesn't make you a luddite. You don't need to sit in a room of a 20 people in a circle and stand up and say "I'm Richard and I'm anti cashless".

Anti cashless simply means you do not want to see cash disappear completely. That doesn't mean you are opposed to digital payments being available as well. Being anti cashless doesn't mean you think everything must be cash 100% of the time. So you are anti cashless. Just like me. Welcome to the club. And you're welcome for the clarification of the terms you have been using. Now you can use them properly and stop contradicting yourself.

Yes, which makes you anti cashless.

On one hand you say you are not anti-cashless (i.e. you think getting rid of cash is OK). Then you say both cash and digital should be an option (which BTW is my stance since I am very much anti-cashless). So which is it? Because if you want both options available like I do, then by definition you are very much anti-cashless.

So you are not anti-cashless, but you are pro both cash and digital? 😆 Quite the position...

I don't keep large sums in the bank earning a pittance that's for sure. You'd have to be pretty dumb to do that. In the unlikely event you ever lucked yourself into a large sum I'd bet that's exactly where we'd find it though. 😃 If it was, eventually, yes. But not overnight if cash still exists. If someone froze my bank accounts right now I could survive several months quite easily. Well it would have to be someone else since you'd have no chance. 😆

Clearly, like most Remainers you have no respect for Democracy. But we already knew that.

Seems you just want to be pedantic. So how about the biggest argument of all? If we go cashless you can be turned off at the push of a button. This isn't a loony conspiracy. It already happened in Canada to the truckers. Protest against the government and get turned off. If that doesn't open your eyes then nothing will. But hey, it might save you a couple of seconds at the checkout. Reminds me of the title of the album "Give me convenience or give me death".

Well, I can never be sure if they have grandchildren, but slow people? quite often. Quite a few people seem to struggle with it. I prefer the system in the UK where you just hold the card up to the machine. Tap and Go. Far superior to the QR code phone app nonsense. Showing your bias again. Which was my main point. I am not against Tap and Go, but cash needs to remain an option. Strawman. I'm not against digital payments (if they are implemented right). I actually like Monzo cards where you can put a couple of hundred quid on it for a night out and so if you lose it then it's no big deal, unlike losing a bank a credit card. I am against removing cash as an option.

It's not 'dumb'. It depends on who is using the phone. If it's some old granny it can take what seems like decades. And that's just them typing the passcode. I'm aware of that. But they always do because they want their "member points" or whatever. The 2 are not related but it further delays what shoyuld be a simple process. But you're missing the whole point. If we go cashless you can simply be "turned off" at the push of a button like Trudeau did to the truckers. Plus I don't really want the state having more access to my personal life than they already do.

So cynical. I was there later the same day.

The BBC once again showing it's desire to deliberately mislead. How much longer do we have to tolerate this garbage?

Clearly photoshopped. Unless he is kneeling which I very much doubt he is capable of. Like most things in the Biden era. Fake. Staged. Inauthentic.

A court ruling didn't say 99.9% of women haven't got a penis. Starmer did. The complete melt. 😃 https://news.sky.com/story/keir-starmer-says-99-9-of-women-havent-got-a-penis-as-he-faces-questions-over-trans-rights-12848438

It is when they are afraid to buy a product for fear of someone attacking it/them. But you already knew that.

Not only that, but they are destroying the standard of living of it's inhabitants in order to "achieve" it. Complete Muppetry.

Domestic terrorism by the left appears to have worked on this occasion. I hope it doesn't spur them on to greater acts of violence.

Clearly this cooling effect is only present in the flights of wealthy virtue signalling celebrities. When the plebs do it, it brings Doomsday one step closer.

Funny how the gays want their festival but object to the straights having theirs. "Get yo' hanths of our fethtival bitcheths. You're not spethial like uth". 😃

Yeah I love waiting behind someone finding/playing with their phone for 5 minutes to pay for a bar of chocolate. Especially when they have to tell the cashier their phone number 3 times.

Well done Trump. Brilliant job. I hope Starmer is watching how a real man leads a country.

Only in your mind. In the actual vote, they voted to Leave. I never expected Starmer to respect that though. The man has no principles.
