      That’s not accidental, and Reform should be made to show their origin beyond doubt or be find and banned.

      Reform are breaking election funding law all the time and either they are held to account and prevented from standing in elections with that funding, or we can kiss our open democracy goodbye.

      Ergo, ‘Crypt’ in ‘Crypto’.

      No political party should be without financial transparency.

      Ban them. They are subversive foreign agents who have an overt goal of destroying Britain for the gain of foreign powers.

      It should be illegal to hold, or do any business in crypto in this country, it’s more trouble than it’s worth

      I think if we vaguely wave our hands at Russia, Elon’s piggy bank or an overflowing sewer we may find the source…

      After the Cambridge Analytica scandal, it appears we’ve all just accepted that the UK’s enemies seem to have a major influence on how this country is run.

      I remember thinking I would donate to a US political party but found as I hadn’t got my permanent USA resident status, this would illegal.

      considering how the culture wars are seen as a global battle, we can safely assume lots of people around the world would happily donate to their favourite UK far right party.

      Any donations not paid in cash with a verifiable source should be banned and seized, unless it’s legality can be proven.

      It is from Jeff. Plumber in East Sussex. He had a few crypto investments that paned out and he gave a bit of it to reform. Obvious innit?
