Reform & Crypto

2 different crypto billionaires donating huge £money to reform?

why?

Very Odd

He has to break cover to distract from his stamp duty dodging

His £5 million bung, to buy 2 houses, that he failed to declare

And his connections to unelected guys seeking to push laws onto uk

The obsession with Reform and Mr Farage continues.......bet u dream about him at night

And restore were threatening to park their tanks on
his lawn, imagine being to the right of farage, lol.

Half-man/half-toad is an opportunistic grifter without equal.

The Brexit and Boris fans have latched onto him bigtime. You can feed the gullible by telling them what they want to hear,don't have to do it though.

Mr Farage is slippery. A crypto donor is dodgy.

Reform UK’s Treasurer and three of the party’s largest donors are all linked to a single London apartment block whose residents and buyers have included at least five sanctioned or Russian-connected billionaires, Byline Times can reveal.

The £1.55 million donated to Reform has come from a series of people and firms tied to One Hyde Park, the Knightsbridge complex the Candy brothers built and marketed as the world’s most expensive luxury residential apartment block in the world.

Nick Candy, who served as the development’s agent, is now Reform UK Treasurer, chief fundraiser and among its largest donors.

The other three – actor Holly Valance, businessman Bassim Haidar and Sotheby’s International Realty – have together given £555,000 since 2024.

The donations make One Hyde Park the most politically generous apartment blocks in the UK per resident. It also houses more individuals associated with Russian, post-Soviet or Kazakh wealth than any other building in the country.

i read the document before it was taken down, this was one of the few areas that deform actually had a detailed policy rather than just a wish list.

they were intent on making the bank of england adopt crypto via a sovereign crypto fund.

they were also proposing tax breaks for crypto.

Guess we're starting to find out what £5m gets you


Nigel Farage has been trying to block a Bank of England cryptocurrency plan that could be costly for the billionaire bankrolling his party.

The Reform UK leader has said Christopher Harborne wants nothing in exchange for the millions he has donated to the party and the undeclared £5m personal gift to Farage that the Guardian revealed in April.

But Farage used a private meeting at the Bank to urge the governor to drop plans for a state-run alternative to the digital currency that has made his Thailand-based benefactor one of the richest people in the world.

Farage’s opposition to the proposal for a “Britcoin” is so strong that, after the meeting last September, he told an audience of crypto enthusiasts he would be “prepared to go to prison” to stop it, footage of the event shows.

i think this donation may take farage down.

i find it somewhat odd that most of the msm are not reporting or investigating such a large donation, one only hopes that those concerned with parliamentary standards are more interested in doing their jobs.

as there are absolutely no hypocrites or lying loons on the betfair politics forum i am sure that all those that were concerned about starmer's glasses must be concerned about a donation that absolutely dwarfs that.

In June 2023, the British politician Nigel Farage said that his account with the private bank
Coutts
was to be closed. He was offered a standard bank account by Coutts' parent group,
NatWest
, in the closure notice he received. Farage said he was then refused personal and business accounts at seven other UK banks.,



Perhaps this is why he needs help?

Terrible treatment imo and bordering on state harassment.

Well it looks very shady indeed tbh. Especially as Nigel was shoehorning pro Harborne crypto points into interviews before this was made public.

But at the end of the day if the alternative at the next election is another 2 or 3 million unvetted third world migrants a lot of people will just think so what.

Farage more dodgy that an Uzbek boxing promoter.  Who'd have thought that?

At the end of the day it's "only" £5m

Reuters set out to determine just how much money the Trumps have made from their four main crypto projects, how much of their own cash they staked on those projects, and how outside investors in those projects have fared.  Their conclusion $2.3bn

In the last month Nigel Farage has spent around eight times longer promoting gold bars for money (4 hours) than he has spent doing his supposed main job of being an MP voting in the House of Commons (just two votes, taking approximately 30 minutes)



You could almost be forgiven for thinking there's a pattern developing.

$1.62 now for 'trumpcoin' after trading early north of $10, a lot of loss for those who believed in him and that $2 billion + is made up of can't lose commission.I suppose they could have made money if he was a good President?

spent doing his supposed main job of being an MP voting in the House of Commons (just two votes, taking approximately 30 minutes)

So the only part of an MP's job is voting in the house of commons? Did you just copy and paste that from one of your social media sites???

Did you just copy and paste that from one of your social media sites???

Did you copy and paste that slur from one of your previous slurs?

Anyway, back to the topic, Farage voting twice in a month is proper going it for him as up till may he'd not voted in parliament for 8 months.

Did you copy and paste that slur from one of your previous slurs?

What part of what I posted is a "slur"?

Turns out there's more.





Who does Farage work for?

should reform uk change it's name to crypto uk?

the fantasy  crypto conspiracy  wet dream....

Big Nige got the BOE on speed dial and ready to manipulate the crypto policy one way or other, either way Nige cleans up?
Meanwhile a doctor no type strokes his **** whilst grinning like the reaper?

Grow up ffs.


If introduced later this decade, the digital pound would not replace cash but would operate alongside it. The BoE's current proposals for digital currency and user identity feature specific policies

That's what Farage did lobby Against, a gov digital currency with an  Identity element.


BTC and etherum are the big players, tether the crypto that is linked to Farage backer and has been delisted in the eu due to USA regulation infringements, namely the requirement to hold 1-1 in  assets in country of listing. (eye think)

So please elucidate how Farage backer gets rich from big Nige manipulation of boe policy?

BOE has been looking at  a blockchain  digital pound for a while.

Do you think boe is gunna  listen to anyone outside the bubble let alone change policy or adopt an existing coin imo.

Seems Porcupine is banned? A compassionate,clever fella.

? what for

I don't think he is, he, or someone, had my quite benign reply removed

I saw your reply Saddo. Incredible that it has been removed. What forum rule did it break? Damned if I know.

None at all, I was merely trying to put the two kindred spirits in touch.

Haven't a clue Tobermory,he was quite vocal concerning Mirage but never ott imo,i can't think of anything else.
Pressing his name redirects you to homepage.

Maybe PoP got banned for crimes against sarcasm.

Or more likely just got bored and called it a day.

No, he is on a ban as clicking on the name redirects to home page

Can't imagine anything he said to justify a ban, never abusive to anyone.

Indeed,i think he was clever enough to watch what could put him in a 'banning position', likely he was reported by 'a few'

Surely you don't get banned just because someone reports you, it still has to be down to what you have written.

Can't see why anyone would do that anyway, PoP had been on here for years, so why try and get him banned now ?

Nope Dixie, it happened not too long ago as a few banded together,i think the posters name was 'Charlie' but i may be wrong, that is true.

No,the poster was Captain Cristy.

Charlie and Cristy, both nutters.

I had no issue with the Captain, we had a few exchanges but most were banter. He did seem to be rather outspoken or abusive with some but if you don't like what someone is saying just block them unless they are really coming out with stuff that is beyond the pale. Charlie i think disappeared from here before i joined but i gather he could get a bit lairy

Same with my old sparring partner Whispering Death, our politics were polar opposites of each other but we always saw the humour in it and had a shared love of cricket which meant we had many a good discussion on here. We also grew up close to each other so had much in common even if we saw things different politically. It was a real surprise to me when i discovered he had been banned and i think the forum is a poorer place for losing regular contributors like he was.

What's interesting is that Farage initially said he wasn't going to stand as an MP because he'd lose £1m a year in lost earnings, but changed his mind.  £5m is £1m a year for 5 years.  According to Faisal Islam the only piece of draft legislation Reform had published was it's Cryptoassets and Digital Finance Bill.  He also privately met the Governor of the BofE lobbying him to abandon crypto regulation that would have damaged the interest of his £5m donor Christopher Harborne

Nothing to see here...

Pop got banned by the woke right posters on here.

The only people who like intellectual snobs are other intellectual snobs, or suck ups.

They aren't grasses anyway.

Or even worse.

Have you any actual evidence of this or is it just another example of your increasingly unhinged state of mind ?

Dixie,as said done before by a certain group,very likely imo, POP made a holy show of a few posters here on a thread( i can't remember which but they were each 'taking turns') It is the same modus operandi as what happened to C. Christy,baiting in turns. and a 'group' report is enough to get banned.

I've had posts deleted and it's been bewildering.  Phoned up and enquired why it was so ridiculous to me and got nowhere.  I actually thought it might be Porcupine Pineapple complaining

So no real evidence then lapsy, just guesswork.

PoP's snide sarcasm would not be to everyone's taste but you don't get banned for that, you have to break the rules in some fashion.

Yeah Dixie,just guesswork and guessing again the crew that went to youtube are behind it.

You think it is by what you wrote but afaik it is by a few people pressing the report button and yes again i would happily bet on that.

I've had posts deleted and it's been bewildering.  Phoned up and enquired why it was so ridiculous to me and got nowhere.  I actually thought it might be Porcupine Pineapple complaining

You're non partisan and objective, it's unlikely PoP would have ever taken offence to an objective post to the point of reporting it.

The mass reporting of posts and posters is all done by the New woke right on here.
Just look at who all the "you are insane" and personal attacks come from.

Get out of your bunker Escapee, if you are accusing others then name names, don't be a coward.

And we all know you have amazingly suddenly discovered the word "woke" as you are using it in every post. Nobody's biting.

People don't get banned just because others report their posts, as clarified in the forum rules :


Treatment of other people: bullying, harassment and being downright unpleasant is not what the Betfair forum is about. Anyone who feels they are on the receiving end should let us know by using our ‘report’ facility for threads and posts or by emailing forum@betfair.com. But please be aware this is a forum, not a school playground. Although, we do take breaches of our terms and conditions seriously, we are unlikely to take any action against posts which do not breach our terms and conditions and merely amount to heated debate and/or forum banter!

I feel that would've been the case 12 months ago DD but not now.  I think nowadays a post will be removed if someone complains regardless of what is written.

or the bar has been reduced to include any word that might be considered offensive regardless of context

I think nowadays a post will be removed if someone complains regardless of what is written.

I had 3 posts deleted yesterday because they mentioned the "Ministry of Hurt Feelings"

It doesn't take sherlock holmes to work out which bunch of wokes are reporting such posts

I doubt this innocuous post will last 30 minutes given yesterdays playbook.

Don't be silly Escapee, we are ALL having posts either not appearing for ages or actually being removed.

It doesn't matter what political persuasion you are, it's happening across the board.

I would think others have better ways to spend their time rather than waiting for you to post your ramblings so they can press the report button.

Clydebank - your second post above is nearer the mark i think, there are obviously certain words that alert the AI censor, for instance i have had several posts that either never appeared or took their time to do so because i was talking about the Essex and England cricketer Jordan C*x

I had one removed off this thread yesterday, I merely wondered
if pop might be on holiday, and suggested lapsy send him a pm.
Escapee might suffer paranoia, possibly a symptom of TDS and FDS.

Dixie, Having a post not appear because of an unfortunate synonym clash is not the same as having a post pass the initial censor and then be reported and deleted for no good reason.

I.E. Someone was reporting posts with the words "Ministry of Hurt Feelings" in them yesterday.
Even posts mentioning it was deleted was reported and deleted.

Have a look ITT, two posters repeatedly making personal attacks on forum posters, same yesterday.

All thier posts remain unreported and on view.

(Some of you might need sherlock holmes to tell you who they are)

Think I got your dial tone
Think I got billy baxter's bone
Think I got a bubble-sac
Think I got a big mac attack
Hold the pickles hold the lettuce
Special orders don't upset us
All we ask is that you let us

Escapee, the point is that it is not just you having posts removed.

I have had innocuous posts appear and then disappear without explanation.

There is no rhyme or reason to it, you are not a special case.

I have posts removed all the time.

I made 2 or 3 posts on the Berlin Pride thread Sunday night, by Monday afternoon I had 0 on it.

One of them was just quoting a paragraph from a mainstream news site
