Mark Dolan warns cashless Britain would spell end of 'financial autonomy' as state takes control

Which is why GB News has proudly launched a new campaign to 'Don’t Kill Cash'. If you like, can sign the petition here.

Now some people will welcome this new way of paying, it may speed up service at the counter so you can get your hands on that first latte of the day, all the more quickly.

I love paying with my phone or contactless, but only where cash is still an option too.

But this promise of a more convenient experience - via cashless payments only - is fool’s gold.

It's time to wake up and smell the coffee. This move by companies may look innocent on the face of it, but there are dark forces at play.

This is part of a wider campaign at government and corporate level, to kill cash altogether.

As we saw with creeping Covid measures - do you remember when wearing a mask, or vaccination, was just a gentle suggestion, but became an instruction?

I fear we will see much the same, with how we pay for goods and services.

As with the pandemic measures, the push for a cashless society, is an attack on people power.

If you have cash, your spending habits cannot be traced and your funds cannot be frozen, in the way they can with a digital currency. Don’t forget tinpot dictator Justin Trudeau.

Canada’s tyrannical Premier, froze the bank accounts of truckers, protesting vaccine mandates. He couldn’t have done that with cash.

In terms of a cashless society, all roads lead to China. It's the worst case scenario, the thick end of the wedge.

Chinese citizens are part of what's called a social credit system, in which peoples’ money, is controlled digitally, by the government.

They have virtual money in their virtual bank account, access to which is linked to good behaviour.

And with facial recognition cameras everywhere, the public there, can lose access to their money for the most minor indiscretion.

If someone is spotted littering or walking home drunk, not being up to date with their vaccines or guilty of some other perceived crime, this fully digitised system will punish them immediately, by stopping them paying for goods in the supermarket for example, or from buying a train ticket. Welcome to hell.

With a cashless society, the control is transferred from the people, to corporations and the state.

And in a cashless society, how can you give your nephew a tenner for their birthday, or leave a couple of pound coins for that waiter or waitress that served you so nicely in a cafe.

How can you help out a homeless person that needs a few quid to get by?

What about the wonderful informality of a retired pensioner cleaning your windows or doing a bit of gardening, receiving a crisp for £20 note as a thank you.

A cashless society will spell the end of the informal, discretionary economy.

Cash is human, cashless is inhuman. Come rain or shine, if you've got some cash on you, you are secure.

You are the master of your own destiny, which is why creepy globalists like Klaus Schwab, the leader of the undemocratic cabal of technocrats, called the world economic forum, hate cash so much. Remember this guy’s catchphrase is that “you will own nothing and you will be happy”.

This nutter, who wouldn’t look out of place in a Bond film, allegedly wants to create a dystopian world government, run by an out of touch and privileged elite.

Who knows if this is true or just a conspiracy theory, but it’s enough to keep me awake at night.

We saw our personal autonomy challenged by lockdowns, stopping you from leaving your house, going to work or deciding who you see.

We saw bodily autonomy attacked by vaccine mandates - the state will decide what goes into your body, not you.

And if we allow a cashless society to happen, that will be the end of your financial autonomy too.

Cash is king, always has been, always will. Beware the outlets offering the snake oil convenience of cashless.

And fight this at every turn. It’s time to put your money, where your mouth is.
