About as much for our benefit as 5g…
Have they spent trillions to enable us to download movies a fraction quicker?
Or is it to track, trace and control us by supporting biometric ID?
I wonder….

We effectively have digital money already with a huge amount of transactions being on line. Why would the Bank of England want to spend a huge sum of taxpayers money setting up an alternative unless it was to phase out physical money and control of the money supply rather than retail banks doing so? With digital money they will be able to control our spending in real time with enough computing power. Will I go to fuel up and be told I can't as I have used too much fuel this month or I can't have that extra pie or pint to "Save the NHS"? The future looks pretty grim to me.Can't think this is for our benefitThe digital pound: A new form of money for households and businesses?

Exactly that.
Look at the chaos caused when banks have had 'i.t. problems ' missed payments no way of withdrawing money.
At a flick of a switch or push of a button they can prevent you doing virtually anything

Don’t worry mate,
Wait till the lads in Wetherspoons realize they’re limited to 10 units a week…. The tyrannical globalists haven’t factored in a rebellion of that magnitude occurring before lunchtime

The next scam once they have got rid of combustion engined vehicles:
Drivers risk being forced to pay a “tyre tax” as Britain explores a crackdown on brake and tyre wear emissions.
Ministers have hired advisers to explore how to address harmful emissions that experts say are more harmful than diesel fumes.
The Department for Transport has asked consultancy Arup to “develop recommendations on how to better assess and control these emissions which will persist after a transition to zero tailpipe emission vehicles”, according to a Government filing.
Although the Whitehall officials this weekend insisted that Arup’s work was not designed to inform tax policy, it is being seen as one of the strongest signals yet that a tyre tax is coming down the road.
Andy Turbefield, head of quality at Halfords, said: “Putting a tax on road safety is not the right way to plug the fuel duty gap. Worn tyres and faulty brakes are two of the biggest causes of accidents.
“As it is, many motorists are delaying tyre replacement and basic maintenance because of the cost-of-living crisis. Using the tax system to penalise people for keeping their vehicles in a roadworthy condition is not a good policy.”
Tyre and brake wear pollution is expected to be the next battleground for clean air campaigners after drivers switch to electric vehicles.
Particles sent into the air – known as “particulate matter (PM) 2.5” – are more harmful than nox emissions that have been the target of low-emissions zones such as Sadiq Khan’s Ulez in London.
Although tyre technology has developed to reduce dangerous emissions, the Environment Department said last week that non-exhaust road emissions have “remained largely unchanged between 1996 and 2021”
Mr Turbefield added: “If taxing non-exhaust emission is to be considered, then there needs to be more research into emissions from road surface wear. It’s plausible that electric vehicles, which are much heavier than petrol vehicles, cause more damage to road surfaces and are therefore a bigger source of road surface emissions. Any review needs to take account of the big picture.”
A Government spokesman said: “We want to better understand the impacts of non-exhaust emissions, such as tyres, on the environment which is why we’re conducting research on the matter. This research was not commissioned to inform tax policy development.
“As we continue to deliver on our target to meet Net Zero by 2050, we are committed to keeping the switch to electric vehicles affordable to consumers, which is why we are spending billions to help incentivise uptake and fund the rollout of charging infrastructure across the UK.”
In May Professor Alastair Lewis, chairman of the Department for Transport Science Advisory Council, said: “When everybody owns a low emissions vehicle, low emission zones become a toothless control lever to try to manage air pollution.
“A world where we [have] jam-packed roads full of electric cars [also] isn’t a particularly attractive one… Even if they are electric, [they] will generate lots of particles.”
“At some point in the future when most of those cars have disappeared, a different form of air pollution control” is likely to be needed, he added.
“We do have to project forward about how we’re going to manage vehicles in large cities like London in the future when we have a largely electrified fleet of vehicles.”

I doubt I will ever visit Bath again, deffo won't go into it and add additional 'air pollution', as I take a much longer route to skirt around it
Ditto Bristol ...... and any others as they go 'LEZ'
