In this week’s Food For Thought Radio – Farmers and Finance, producer Paul joins me for a wide‑ranging conversation that starts with seasonal indulgences and quickly moves to deeper questions about money, power and community. We explore why fixing incentives and restoring personal responsibility matters, how monetary architecture shapes everything from energy to education, and why locally rooted action can rebuild the social fabric that centralisation has frayed. We also dig into the Post Office Horizon scandal as a case study in institutional failure, touch on history, law and language (from Magna Carta to the Bill of Rights), and finish with a practical primer on Bitcoin: wallets, seed phrases, and why scalability and immutability are the core attributes to watch—along with tools like Exodus, HandCash and ElectrumSV that help newcomers get started.'Bitcoin (BTC)': https://bitcoin.org/'Bitcoin SV (BSV)': https://bitcoinsv.com/'Exodus Wallet': https://www.exodus.com/'HandCash (BSV Wallet)': https://handcash.io/'ElectrumSV (BSV Desktop Wallet)': https://electrumsv.io/'UK Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry (official site)': https://www.postofficehorizoninquiry.org.uk/'Fujitsu UK': https://www.fujitsu.com/uk/'Royal Mail – History': https://www.royalmailgroup.com/en/about-us/our-history/'Magna Carta (British Library)': https://www.bl.uk/magna-carta'Bill of Rights 1689 (legislation.gov.uk)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/aep/WillandMarSess2/1/2'Local Government Act 1888 (legislation.gov.uk)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Vict/51-52/41/contents/enacted'1 Samuel 15:3 (Bible Gateway)': https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Samuel+15%3A3&version=KJV'Edmund Burke – Biography (Encyclopaedia Britannica)': https://www.britannica.com/biography/Edmund-Burke'Richard von Coudenhove‑Kalergi – Biography (Encyclopaedia Britannica)': https://www.britannica.com/biography/Richard-von-Coudenhove-Kalergi'Cadbury (UK)': https://www.cadbury.co.uk/
