Revolut falls for fake government requests, hands over customer data

MrGreen

More Holes Than a Colander

HMRC, DWP, The Home Office, NCA etc. ?

Take your pick.

They can all ask banks for your data.

However, my money is on them claiming they were from HMRC:

Under standard domestic laws and international treaties like the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), UK banks and building societies extract key pieces of your KYC file and send them to HMRC automatically. A broader data set wouldn’t therefore appear unusual.

London Tube closes the 5G gap with streets above

MrGreen

More BS

Ah, that old chestnut, “coverage”.

Carriers claiming they havre 99% coverage of the UK is a scam. What about throughput?

Iran-linked cyberattack shut down a UK power plant

MrGreen

Tax Payers Are Not Surprised

This is what happens when the people who are supposed to be running the country are spending 99.9% of their time directing tax money to companies they and their rich friends all own shares in.

Most companies don’t value investing in cyber security. They’re only interested in profit, profit and more profit for rich shareholders.

EE invites mobile users to live life in the 5G Fast Lane – for a price

MrGreen

Another Scam

99% UK coverage, allegedly.

Zero throughput.

Capita handed vital role in next pandemic despite civil service pension failures

MrGreen

Another Example of Moving Money to Shareholders

All MP’s and rich elites know where your tax money is going.

They just buy shares in those companies and they all get richer.

Crypto wallet maker Trezor confirms 13,000 customers' details exposed in logistics breach

MrGreen

It’s not a financial product, it’s an electronic device.

It doesn’t store money, it stores an electronic key.

How do you solve a problem like Capita?

MrGreen

If you are in government and you own a massive amount of shares in Capita, guess who’s going to win the contracts?

If you’re in government and your mate tells you who’s going to win all the contracts, guess what shares you’re going to buy?

THEY ALL KNOW WHERE THE TAX MONEY IS GOING.

British Home Office seeks techie to herd nearly 1,000 engineers looking after 600 systems

MrGreen

Red Flag

Responsible for “more than 600 systems” and “managing a £60M annual budget”.

Back of a fag packet maths, £100,000 per system?

Something doesn’t add up here?

UK.gov links up with LinkedIn for jobs market intel from 40M accounts

MrGreen

Hunting for tax losses

It is more likely that the DWP are analysing who is economically inactive.

There are 3.6 million people between the age of 50 and 64 in the UK who are inactive, 25.6% of the total population for that age bracket.

Approximately 30.8% of economically inactive people list early retirement as their primary reason for not working. This translates to just over 1.1 million people who have chosen early retirement.

These are people who would have been on good salaries which means high tax payers. 65% are classified as professionals.

Direct tax losses are £16 billion but a comprehensive GOV.UK review updated in 2026 revealed that the broader state costs of working-age ill health and economic inactivity cost the state £212 billion per year (equivalent to roughly 7% of GDP).

Palantir's NHS data deal called in for a second opinion

Re: No tears for Larry

Guess who’s had £257 million from Larry?

US clampdown on Anthropic models sends EU sovereignty surge into overdrive

MrGreen

No work required

The UK is in this mess because for 36 years the rich elites have just diverted tax money to companies they all own millions of shares in.

It’s easy money and they don’t need to do any work.

Ministers just release statements “claiming” they’re doing something but in reality they’re only interested in their investments.

UK's top crime agency hamstrung by legacy IT, watchdog warns

MrGreen

Tony to the rescue

Sounds like Tony has got someone to start these stories so his recent push for AI and Oracle can save the day.

Brit regulator finds mobile network service on trains is far from first class

MrGreen

This must be a joke?

Ofcom have only just realised the mobile network and Wi-Fi doesn’t work on trains? This can’t be true because it’s been like this for years. In fact the mobile network is absolutely useless in many parts of the UK even when not on a train.

Yet isn’t it funny that all of these companies are still able to charge full price for services they’re not delivering.

Ofcom knows exactly how bad things are. They are part of the problem because they allow companies to measure their performance by “coverage” only. As an example, EE claims it has 99% coverage of the UK. Therefore your phone shows 4 bars of signal but you have zero “throughput”.

Other countries have fantastic mobile service and Wi-Fi on trains because they have a government that regulates for its citizens. The UK regulates for the elites. Therefore most services are a scam.

Capita £370M bid 40% under UK.gov estimate for Oracle HR and finance system project, court case reveals

MrGreen

Easy Money

The same companies keep winning the contracts because the elites all own massive amounts of shares in these companies.

It’s easy money. They don’t care if they deliver a good service or not.

The transfer of wealth via tax.

UK banks offered access to OpenAI’s GPT-5.5 amid exclusion from Anthropic’s Glasswing expansion

MrGreen

Chat GPT, Claude and Gemini. All shockingly bad.

I gave them an image of a logo and asked them to change some of the colours. It was like pulling teeth.

Peter Mandelson invited UK PM to meet Palantir's Thiel

MrGreen

Blair was the architect of the corruption.

1. Devolution.

2. Promote associates in to high level civil service positions.

3. Increase head count in the civil service with supporters.

4. Align with big businesses to dish out contracts.

All in the name of GREED.

He’s still pulling the strings.

He’s had £257 million from Larry to push digital ID and AI.

Anthropic, now atop the AI bubble, files for its IPO

MrGreen

Not Fit For Purpose

Claude can’t even change the colours on an image correctly. Even after maxing out the amount of commands and retry’s

London cops post £300M tech shopping list after Palantir contract blocked

MrGreen

Maybe AI does have one good use case

I think Palantir should be tested on all MP’s, Lord’s and senior civil servants.

I don’t think the arrogant elites realise that once someone deploys AI on them then all of their dirty secrets will be exposed.

Disgruntled 0-day hunter 'humiliated' by Microsoft pledges 'bone shattering drop' as Redmond calls cops

MrGreen

Greed: identified as a root of evil and an excessive desire for gain.

Tony Blair and the Reform party both want AI in government, though they can't agree on what for

MrGreen

High on Power

B-liar is high on the globalism power trip.

He’s made hundreds of millions already pushing AI and Digital ID so his family and rich friends become multi billionaires.

If you vote Labour or Conservative they’re all mates with Tony.

The irony is that he created devolution and the massive civil service blob on purpose because regardless of whether Labour or Conservatives are in government nothing changes.

What’s just as ironic is this article labels Reform right-wing, but doesn’t classify B-liar’s behaviour?

6G: The next gen of wireless tech nobody's ready to pay for

MrGreen

Another Scam

Mobile services are just one big scam.

They claim massive coverage, like 97%, to fool the regulators and customers into believing their service is worth the extortionate costs. However in reality that 5G and 4 bars on your phone, “It’s is a fugazi, it’s not f*cking real”.

Britain pays Starlink millions despite Musk's calls to overthrow UK government

MrGreen

All Roads Lead to Tony

The worst PM in history is Tony Blair.

Everyone who has followed has continued his globalist agenda and is in the same big club as him. They all own the same shares in the same companies.

His family are making tens of millions from tax payers as they win government contracts and roles with zero accountability.

Tony started:

Devolution.

Bloat in the civil service.

Sold off the NHS.

Sold the lie that everyone should go to university.

Illegal wars.

Selling off the UK to global corporations.

Misleading Parliament.

Erosion of civil liberties.

Spin and deceit.

Cash for favours.

Cash for honours.

Conflicts of interest and consultancy work.

Meta fights Ofcom over how many billions count as billions

Send Zuk a Tax Bill Instead

The best way to sort this is to send Zuk a tax bill for the billions he hasn’t paid in the UK.

Minister gives Palantir's NHS platform a clean bill of health

MrGreen

Guess who owns shares in Palantir?

Your tax goes to the Treasury.

MP’s know Palantir are getting the contract.

MP’s buy a truck load of shares via their shell company.

Palantir get £1 billion of your money.

MP’s shares increase in value.

All of the elites know where the money is going.

UK state bank considers lengthening disastrous IT program

MrGreen

Gravy Train

As of late 2024, Jim Harra, the outgoing Chief Executive and First Permanent Secretary of HMRC, had an annual salary of approximately £185,000–£199,999. Following his retirement, he is entitled to a pension of around £107,000 a year, supplemented by a tax-free lump sum of roughly £278,000 based on 38 years of service.

Harra was brought in to lead NS&I following the resignation of former CEO Dax Harkins, who was reported to have a remuneration package of over £300,000 per year.

Booking.com warns reservation data may have checked out with intruders

MrGreen

They Finally Admitted It

This hack was well over a year ago.

For over a year loads of people have been saying they’ve received fraudulent emails from the hotels they reserved through Booking.com. The email requests that payment be made, via a fraudulent link, or the booking will be lost.

This information can only be known if hackers were active across their systems.

MrGreen

What Will Happen?

What will happen when someone sets AI the task to evaluate the whole of the UK government, the civil service and local councils?

Digital euro goes full sovereignty mode, US cloud giants not on guest list

MrGreen

CBDC is The End

Isn’t it interesting that sovereignty is okay if the EU does it but not if anyone else does it.

CBDC = Slave Coin.

They only want CBDC because it gives them Total Control over citizens.

Download the app and they have real time tracking of your location and instant control to shut down your ability to use money. There is zero benefit for citizens from this.

Palantir trial plugs into UK financial watchdog's data trove

MrGreen

Treasure Island

The elites call the UK Treasure Island.

They don’t care about you, your family or the UK. They can leave anytime on a private jet.

They only care about sending your tax money to companies they all own shares in.

Whitehall can't cost digital ID until it decides how to build it

One Login?

Rumours are that the GOV.UK One Login system is going to be used. They’re already forcing certain groups to use it. Here’s the roadmap:

Conflict of Interest

So is a person with millions of pounds worth of Amazon shares going to do anything to devalue this company?

These regulators are an illusion for the peasants.

Birmingham City Council's Oracle ERP fiasco now £144M and still not working

The Big Question

Why did “a decision to turn off audits for fraud detection for more than 18 months” happen?

Every penny needs to be followed.

Best of British: UK's infosec envoys include Cisco, Palo Alto, and Accenture

MrGreen
Stop

RED FLAG ALERT

“Lloyd, a former advisor to the Blair government and chair of trustees for The Tony Blair Governance Initiative.”

Anyone who knows Blair is also in the big club and there is no such thing as “former advisor”. They’re all in it together.

All of your tax is going to companies the big club have massive share allocations in.

Bank of England's Oracle cloud migration bill triples as project grinds on

MrGreen

Tony Again

I wonder who was behind this deal?

Maybe someone in the UK who is big pals with Larry?

Ah, yes, it’s got Tony’s fingerprints all over it.

Brit broadband grilling descends into farce over targets and definitions

MrGreen

You are being robbed

More proof of the transfer of wealth.

BT and Openreach have had enough funding to build the world’s fastest broadband and 5G network three times over. They keep banging on about coverage but the throughput is also needed. They haven’t built the network for throughput because all of the money has gone to rich shareholders.

Everything in the UK is a scam.

LastPass hammered with £1.2M fine for 2022 breach fiasco

MrGreen

Shocking

So your data was valued at 0.75p by the ICO.

This is how little the government value you as a citizen.

UK to Europe: The time to counter Russia's information war machine is now

MrGreen

More Fear

More fear to scare the peasants.

More excuses to send huge amounts of tax money to defence companies so the elites get richer.

Keep the war machine running because it keeps the wealth transfer machine running.

Whitehall rejects £1.8B digital ID price tag – but won't say what it will cost

MrGreen

More Tax

Digital ID is just another way to take more money from you via tax.

The elites already know who’ll get the contracts and they’ll be buying cheap shares in those companies ready for massive profits.

Everything the government does is designed to make the elites rich and keep you poor.

Defra admits Windows 10 refresh letter to MPs was wrong – machines were already on Windows 11

Vodafone, EE, O2, Three hit with £3B overcharging lawsuit

MrGreen

If it Smells Like a Scam

Every big business is a scam.

These mobile phone companies are selling a service where you can’t get any throughput in huge areas of the UK.

I hope they sue the arse off them and add 3.9% plus inflation for every year.

Car insurance needs to be next. The government have already set up The Motor Insurance Taskforce to look in to the price gouging. Mobile phone companies need the same level of scrutiny.

Bitcoin bandit's £5B bubble bursts as cops wrap seven-year chase

MrGreen

The UK government already owns 61,000 Bitcoins placing it 3rd in the list of countries who own Bitcoin, USA are first, China are second.

This should by put in to a sovereign wealth fund with this newly acquired Bitcoin.

Europe preps Digital Euro to enter circulation in 2029

MrGreen

Remember….

What happened to the truckers in Canada.

CBDC and digital ID are for Ultimate Control.

That’s the only reason they keep pushing them.

UK government's £45B AI savings pitch built on broad-brush guesswork, MPs told

MrGreen

Everything is an Opportunity

Everything is an opportunity to divert your money to their bank accounts.

AI is just the latest scam to send massive amounts of your tax money to companies they own shares in and consult for.

The transfer of wealth continues.

Just look at where all the money goes and who owns all the shares.

Capita fined £14M after 58-hour delay exposed 6.6M records

MrGreen

Who Owns Capita

Who owns all the shares in Capita?

The same people handing out the contracts.

It’s a scam.

Your tax is being sent to companies the elites all own shares in. That’s how they make millions.

UK Home Office opens wallet for £60M automated number plate project

Pay Per Mile

This data will be the start of Pay Per Mile.

This will be tied to your Digital ID and Carbon Footprint score.

Quote from the Tony Blair Institute:

“Introduce road pricing: Rather than increasing fuel duty in the spring, introduce a simple pay-per-mile road-pricing system of 1p per mile for cars and vans, and 2.5p to 4p for heavy-goods vehicles. This reform would be revenue neutral compared with current plans to raise fuel duty but would be a crucial step in reforming the UK’s system of motoring taxation for the electric-vehicle era. In doing so, it would help prevent a growth-stifling rise in road congestion.”

BT promises 5G Standalone for 99% of the UK by 2030

MrGreen

More BS

99% “coverage”.

1% “bandwidth”

Mobile phone services are a complete scam. They tell the regulator how wonderful their service is with their 99% coverage map.

Let’s see the data download statistics?

Yes you might get 4 bars of “signal” on your phone but zero ability to transfer any data.

There’s whole counties in the UK where data transfer is slower than dial up.
