Hope you don't ever have to deposit any cash then. Then again that's what all this is about, turning us into a cashless society so that they know what we've spent and where.

Yep. No more cash and we're under real control. They can turn our lives on and off if they so wish. They can almost do it now.

Well, if you’re with First Direct (online bank), you can deposit cash and cheques at HSBC branches.

I remember a TV series, I think in the seventies, based on a book called "1990". With Edward Woodward in the lead roll as an investigative journalist.
Where the state had the "Public Control Department" and the "Authorised Systematic Harassment" project to deal with dissent: The slow removal of everything that made life bearable. The daily brown envelope through the door that removed benefits and privileges, drip by drip. Your job, health services, school allocation, where you had to live etc. If you stepped out of line....
We walk that road at our peril.

It doesn't seem quite so far fetched as it used to sadly.

Just think of the original Star Trek series when some of the gadgets we saw seemed like light years away but alas are very much mainstream now.

Significantly, however, this risk is not spread evenly across the country, with struggling cities in the North and Midlands more exposed to job losses than wealthier cities in the South. Around 18% of jobs are under threat in Southern cities, compared to 23% in cities elsewhere in the country (2).

Worthing seems quite well off in the tables.

All this faux furore about equal pay for newscasters will fade into oblivion once these beauties are "employed"by the bbc,sky,etc.

Next they'll be wanting equality of pay.
