Petition to bring back the Bradbury Pound

gillywibble · 11 Oct 2013 at 11:27

On the 7th August 1914, in order to avoid a run on the banks, the Treasury issued Treasury Notes signed by John Bradbury - a form of national credit backed only by the credit of the nation.

The money was issued interest free through Her Majesty's Treasury. The initiative would completely remove the hold the banks have over the nation, and would kickstart a productive economy.

Please sign

No thank you for every thing you just posted.

I'm not an economist. Please explain to me in layman's terms how it would kickstart a productive economy.

I got to say I do not understand how this will be of benefit to anyone.

Our credit rating is bad enough at the moment. I will not sign.

Furthermore, nor do I believe there is to be a run on the banks and nor do I believe this would have any positive impact on the economy.

Folding money and wallet cash is a tiny proportion of the economy. What this is is historical window dressing proposing an overly complicated and ultimately futile effort.

FFS, if you don't like banks, use Co-Ops, building societies or Credit Unions.

We've had polls for worse. I'm just saying.

One of the most horrific and possibly terrifying things in life is to watch someone slowly descend in to a spiral of belief that has no grounding in reality.
