We opened with light relief—gardening chat, fuchsias, chickens finally laying in the sunshine, the great organic vs supermarket egg debate, frying tips, and Saturday‑morning pancakes—before the tone sharpened into media scepticism and how manufactured narratives shape public consent. From there we welcomed our guest “the f in farmer,” who gave a grounded view from the fields: why local food matters, how farmers are squeezed, and how peer‑to‑peer digital cash (Bitcoin SV) could let producers sell eggs, beef and veg directly to listeners without middlemen or punitive fees. We dug into practicalities (wallets, on/off‑ramps, transaction costs) and the case for building a parallel marketplace that actually buys real goods (yes, wonky carrots) rather than just speculating. Along the way we touched Michael Rivero’s All Wars Are Bankers’ Wars, Godfrey Bloom’s central‑bank critique, a Thomas Massie clip on perpetual war budgets, and spun a Divine Comedy track—Infernal Machines—as a wry nod to how tech may upend “work” next. The takeaway: stop waiting for institutions to fix themselves; start transacting with one another, locally and directly, and starve the system of the consent—and the fees—it feeds on.<ul><li>Paul English Live (show hub): <a href="https://paulenglishlive.com/" target="_blank">https://paulenglishlive.com/</a></li><li>Bitcoin SV (BSV) – official blockchain site: <a href="https://www.bitcoinsv.com/" target="_blank">https://www.bitcoinsv.com/</a></li><li>HandCash (BSV wallet): <a href="https://handcash.io/" target="_blank">https://handcash.io/</a></li><li>ElectrumSV (desktop BSV wallet): <a href="https://electrumsv.io/" target="_blank">https://electrumsv.io/</a></li><li>Orange Gateway (fiat on/off‑ramp for BSV): <a href="https://www.orangegateway.com/" target="_blank">https://www.orangegateway.com/</a></li><li>Michael Rivero – All Wars Are Bankers’ Wars (video): <a href="https://rumble.com/v5hkl6p-all-wars-are-bankers-wars.html" target="_blank">https://rumble.com/v5hkl6p-all-wars-are-bankers-wars.html</a></li><li>Godfrey Bloom – European Parliament speeches and banking critique: <a href="https://godfreybloom.uk/videos/" target="_blank">https://godfreybloom.uk/videos/</a></li><li>Rep.
