Dear All, There’s a “Civil War” happening inside Bitcoin right now, and this week it stopped simmering and went nuclear! It all revolves around something called “BIP-110” — a contentious software upgrade that would adjust Bitcoin’s rules to prevent spam being propagated and stored on the network — and one of the two forces I …
Dear All, I got pinged with an article from the Hereford Times this week that I thought you'd find interesting. 74 year old William Chinn from Ross-on-Wye was caught "speeding" in his Land Rover along a 40mph stretch of the A442 last September. He was in Court in Worcester earlier this month. The fact that …
Dear All, 232,709 Motorists have been reported to the “police” since 2022 by fellow drivers, who submitted dashcam footage through a government scheme designed to have us all spy on each other — called “Operation SNAP”… The scheme has essentially outsourced enforcement to the public, turning ordinary road users into an army of unpaid informants. …

Since the start of this year, every new car sold is now fitted with a mandatory speed limiter, which is “compulsory” according to the EU, despite that fact that the UK supposedly left the …
There’s been a very interesting admission quietly made by the “police” in recent days… Thousands of drivers have been issued speeding tickets …even though they weren’t exceeding the speed limit. According to National Highways, a “technical fault” meant that some variable speed cameras continued enforcing a lower speed limit from a previous section of road …
Shocking data for a speed camera where the council have reduced the speed limit from 40mph to 30mph has just been released… The camera in question is on Ringwood Road in Bournemouth. Here are the raw stats: – In 2020 it “caught”: 39 Motorists;– In 2021 it was 55;– In 2022 it was 32. However, as soon as …
