Some Britons moving back to cash payments

Some Britons are moving back to cash payments to help themselves avoid unnecessary spending.

This side benefit of using cash is well-established. But even if you don't need to economize, paying cash is a step against mass surveillance. This very recent trend back to cash goes against a long-term trend of surrender to surveillance.

Please join the resistance! While others reject surveillance technology for the sake of valuable short-term benefits, you can reject it for the sake of freedom, whether you need those side benefits or not.

The first step is to make sure, when you leave the house, that you have enough cash for what you might want to buy that day, plus some extra.

If you don't have enough, don't identify yourself to a merchant! Get cash from an ATM, then come back to the merchant and pay cash. Giving a little data to your bank is not as bad as giving more data to a store as well as your bank.
