Ben Delo, convicted money launderer pardons by Trump........
More dirty money into Reform's bank account

Are crypto and crime separable?

Re: £36m Any Help For Reform
I don't see this as actually having much impact on the success of Reform. They'll waste it. Senior party figures love the mega-wealthy lifestyle eg the C4 donation report - Oysters and champagne lunch eg helicopter flights to attend rallies. They love the rich living and when several live like that £36m can disappear into thin air very quickly

Got security costs to factor in too. Although I suppose with the weird little militia that's been raised they may be lower now.

I don’t know. But.
Anyone who has made billions out of crypto has a vested interest in destroying the current status quo.
But it would be solely for the benefit of those people, not the general public. And certainly not the Reform voters.

Now they have publicised their wad perhaps their believers might dream of a trumpian divi. Like flies around a gilded turd.

Farage can offer in cryptos because nobody knows what they are worth.

I apply the same logic to AI.

It’s basically personal donations to the senior party members. In return they’ll push for crypto friendly policies. Basically cash for questions on an industrial scale because as the legendary Rick Chasey used to like to say on the Bike Radar forum, UK politicians have always been ridiculously lacking in ambition when it comes to corruption.

Another 36million in crypto from Harborne.
Whatever they are trying to buy it seems very expensive.

Control of the UK is a pretty major thing.

This is a handy site for checking who/how much each party gets in donations.

£74 million in 2 days.
It’s the party for the common man.

F*ck it. Let them take control of are borders.

I was down at the Port of Tyne earlier and didn't see any of those wee faux militia guys.

Maybe they're planning some kind of mass demonstration at the Great North Run tomorrow?

Telegraph has decided that £72mn legitimises Farage after all, and it's getting right behind him... I guess they'd like some of that £72mn.

I'd like them to explain how receiving more cash increases their ability to govern.
Increases their campaign ability but does nothing to make them "ready to rule".

Ssshhh. Don't ask pertinent questions, just be grateful that the crypto billionaires and the Telegraph know what's best for you.
