@guiltmanager @davidoclubb @svn @banccambria We looked at e-money but it doesn’t do the job. Our mission started with the Keynesian idea of the local multiplier to move Wales on from being a client economy dominated by inward investment to self sufficiency. We need the money to be on our balance sheet and then invested in Wales. Why not join our coop? email me at alex@alex-bird.com for details

@guiltmanager @davidoclubb @svn @banccambria will be targeted at people living in Wales. All our branches and all our marketing efforts will be in Wales, but our online/app services will be accessible to anyone anywhere

@svn @banccambria We are committed to staying focussed on Wales. We’re happy to support and share any expertise with mutual banks in other parts of UK but we belief part of the recipe for success will be local knowledge and connections. Also we want to keep Welsh money circulating in Wales

@CoopAlex @banccambria oh sweet! I've just followed your coop account ^^

Do you know if you'll expand beyond Wales yet, or are you keeping that as your focus?

Great piece from Prof Tim Jackson
What’s the best way to grow Britain’s economy? Spend more on the NHS https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jan/16/invest-britain-economy-spend-nhs?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Scotland's greatest Spanish tourist, Stuart Christie, wrote a biography of Stefano Delle Chaise, in which he exposed SDC's international efforts for the neo-fascist cause.

SDC cast his shadow from Turkey's Grey Wolves to multiple South American dictatorships. He shuttled between the Colonels in Greece, Franco, and Salazar. He orchestrated coups with Klaus Barbie.

I'm not sure what my point is. But it struck me, reading Christie, that fascism has been an international network for a long time.

Real treasure. #Detectorists

I don't think this is getting the coverage it needs. Scottish government to require passivhaus standard for all new build homes. This is big. Really big. Growing out of lessons from the 70's oil crisis. Passivhaus buildings use very little energy to heat, or to cool. We've known how to do this for decades. It's gross negligence from all western governments that the same is not true of all new builds in the developed world.

Over the past week we've seen a noticeable uptick in men joining, following dozens of accounts with female avatars, and then messaging them directly.

Some appear to be real people, some are fake accounts with stolen identities.

Either way, this is stalking and harassing behaviour, and we have zero tolerance for it.

For those affected by accounts we fail to catch, please report them. We _will_ take action, and you'll help keep the community safe and welcoming for all.

Diolch.

‘Economists have been puzzling over the reasons for the UK’s shrinking workforce’

Perhaps they should try working in a job where you get treated with no respect, have more and more work piled on you every year, and have your real pay cut

Churchill was so right:-

They did come armed with their silver tongues
They did take over our great nation
They did completely destroy our economic ties with our neighbours in Europe.

“They” are the Conservative Party!
