Thread: The End of Cash

    The End of Cash

    The BBC seems to have taken up the cause, so don't expect it to hang around for much longer.

    Give it a while, and everybody will be saying what a great idea it is

    My guess is we will start to get stories of people doing dodgy deals using cash so they can't trace them blah blah blah, probably involving drugs, nobody wants to buy drugs with a debit card

    Wot, no mention of weapons of mass destruction assembled from ingredients bought down Splott Market for a fiver? Or the Child Maintenance Service being unable to collar an absent father because he paid cash for drinks down the Wynford after a one-night stand?

    I bet they've already drawn up a list of suspect "benefits", those Behavioural Psychologists in the Nudge Unit don't miss a trick, and they'd probably make a trip to the gas chamber sound appealing

    So many solutions, they can't make up the problems for them quick enough.

    John Kerry threatens to cut off all US contact with Russia over Syria - http://metro.co.uk/2016/09/28/us-thr...syria-6158567/

    The Yanks and their compliant media are becoming desperate to stop ISIS & co from being obliterated in Allepo, but the Russians won't back down.

    I must say I have a certain admiration for our TruBlue. With each passing day his call-up papers dropping through the letter box draws nearer. I daresay when he's soaking wet and up to his chest in mud in a forward trench he'll endure the hardship with stoicism.

    You're amazing. Being able to multi-task between sitting on a fence and working in a kitchen at one and the same time.

    A girl of many talents...

    Wow. It truly is the end of the world.

    The Vietnam war.
    JFK.
    Falklands.
    9/11.
    Iraq.
    Splott Dai getting shot in the arse.

    Some German banks share price falling is right up there.

    Women and children first.

    Re: The End of Cash

    None of the events you mentioned caused panic in any UK streets.

    Think contagion, counterparties and dominos falling. Their derivatives book's value is similar to the entire world's GDP and 20 times that of Germany, Europe's biggest and most successful economy. The bank dwarfs Lehman Brothers in size and importance. It going down could make 2008 and everything that followed seem like nothing important. That's why Christine Lagarde, the IMF boss, described it as the world's most dangerous bank.
