If you like your fish and chips and value the right to eat cod, you would do well to support the campaign to reform the existing monetary system.

The banks create money by lending, which is fraud and results in our using debt as currency.

Fair trading with debt as a means of exchange is impossible and we thus have commercial warfare.

Fishermen have to be on a war footing to survive and that makes rational conservation of fit stocks impossible.

Conservation becomes even more impossible when bureaucrats get in on the act.

Therefore, demand monetary reform. Take the bankers out of the game and restore money to replace debt as our means of exchange.

Let sterling be our currency.
