In the case of e-commerce the proposition is that we should trust the
likes of the banks and the likes of the Home Office.
Most people know about the former. They can steal your money in a
second, but take days to return it. The police are not interested in
robberies if the banks undertake them.
The latter have been exposed as untrustworthy on this group, for
example they protested that they were not agents of foreign states,
then had no answer when people replied reminding them of the visit of
the Chinese and the disgusting actions of the Metropolitan Police
(police authority the Home Office at the time). The fact that people
claim minutes of meetings were never taken and/or lost confirms that
a conspiracy went on.
