Elaine,

If you’ve had enough of countless petitions on ‘transitioning’, I don’t blame you. Thinking about the madness can breed madness.

So this one is about another kind of ‘transition’. Plans - that ominous word again - are being drawn up to implement a centrally-controlled digital currency to eventually replace cash in the UK, probably in tribute to Lenin.

Soon cash will be gone and with it, the remnants of an economy that is comparatively unregulated, unsurveilled and unsupervised by central banks and governments.

Once that happens, all financial activity will be subject to government review and approval.

If that doesn’t appeal to you, sign this petition letting the Chancellor of the Exchequer know.

The timeless battle between freedom and ‘convenience’ continues…
Until later,

John Candia and the CitizenGO team

P.S. Here are several ways to share the petition.

Please see the previous email below:


The UK Government and Treasury are planning to launch a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the near future.

In the new world social credit system being constructed, your money could be ‘switched off’ for any reason, be capped, and even have expiry dates on when you can spend it.

Sign this petition to the Chancellor of the Exchequer demanding a stop to plans for a Communist central digital currency.


The UK Government and Treasury are planning to launch a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the near future.

A centrally-controlled digital currency would be revolutionary: it gives ‘elites’ the opportunity to decide how, when and where we spend our money. In the new world social credit system rapidly being constructed, your money could be ‘switched off’ for any reason, be capped, and even have expiry dates on when you can spend it.

Although the proposals for a CBDC such as ‘Britcoin’ include nominal commitments to ensure the use of cash - which is categorically harder to control than app-based financial activity - the execution of CBDC plans would already grant ‘officials’ power to effectively switch off your money for any reason. Forget empty assurances to the contrary from politicians and central bankers: time and again they have proved they cannot be trusted.

Have you shared governmentally-unapproved views on social media? Have you been to pro-life or pro-family events critical of the ‘correct’ narrative? Have you dared to criticize the pharmaceutical industry? If so, you may be facing a ban on accessing your money once a CBDC is introduced, when the conditions are ‘right’.

If power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, why would you want all your money digitally controlled by government officials? If you have earned your money fairly, why should you have to appease a central digital bureaucracy in order to access or spend it?

Imagine your salary going directly to the Treasury, which they transfer to you if you’ve been a good little citizen. That’s a CBDC.

Sign this petition to the Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt demanding a stop to plans for a Communist-style digital currency.
