Taking Back Control

[Canary42]

Looks like Money Printing might follow Passport Printing by going abroad.

Taking back control ? You're having a laugh !

Unsure what point's being made. If a company goes bust you look the world over for a good deal replacement. Got now't to do with taking control. As doesn't most threads here trying to mock regaining sovereignty.

there's no future in the manufacture of currency. I know plenty who don't carry cash any more, and I haven't done so for nearly a year.

And I know plenty who DO carry cash and I am one of them - plenty of future left for currency.

De La Rue has suffered because it has failed to adapt to changing habits when it comes to money. It's nothing to do with "taking back control". Governments deal with companies that give them the best terms. If they don't happen to be British that's too bad.

Taking back control means we decide who we do business with and for what products and services and the prices we negotiate..If we decide to use a foreign country to make a product or provide a service etc then its our decision...nobody else can tell us who we can or cant do business with and at what price we negotiate for said products etc...Thats control...so what part of that dont you get me old china ?

[Peter Pedant]

taking back control?
do you WANT Boris to be in control ?
Lord help us all !

// .so what part of that dont you get me old china ?//

the bit,me awl chyne, where if you want to sell in the EU you have to obey EU product rules without any say in them, and where if you want to sell in the US, you have to pay off the Trump family with half the NHS

so yeah after Brexit - let us be FREE in the New World !

heres two reasons .

\\n May last year, it had to write off £18m after Venezuela's central bank failed to pay its bills.

The company is also under investigation by the Serious Fraud Office in connection with "suspected corruption" in South Sudan.//

[Peter Pedant]

can anyone tell me why there was a civil war in South Sudan - it is just a patch of dry sand innit?

( and no people - they are all dead - OK mostly all dead)

[david small]

I only use cash, except online.

[davebro]

I've had the same 4 tenners in my wallet for 6 months now & I leave my change purse permanently in the car. Money is def going out of fashion!

[davebro]

PS. South Sudan has a population of over 10 million - so there must be summat there!

//so there must be summat there! //

War Lords,Tribes,corruption and ignorance. Choose which order of importance to the residents . :-(

[davebro]

South Sudan has a climate similar to an Equatorial or tropical climate, characterized by a rainy season of high humidity and large amounts of rainfall followed by a drier season.

Maybe not the ideal holiday destination for sure but no areas designated as desert, some dry bits around the margins.

The only time I ever use cash, now, is when giving it to the children. Otherwise, it is unnecessary and I think once young children all get prepaid cards, cash will be obsolete.

Apart from massive jobs loss in Debden we can still print and mint.
Pobjoys have been known to print notes for other countries and they certainly mint currency. A British concern to boot.

Job losses are never a reason to continue with something no longer needed. The jobs just change to other requirements instead.

I wonder which part of taking back control is beyond some people. canary’s post is a point in case.

We can determine who gets contracts to do specific things. If a company outside the UK can do a better job or equal job for less money we get to chose to give that contract to the foreign company. It’s not rocket science Canary.

In fact it is the very clear show of Brexit really. We become global rather than single market.
