Thoughts on tonight's open?  Will we see gold continue back up?  Or is it going to turn further down?  My bet is that this week will be made up of smaller movements and some consolidation around this level, international events aside.

Now where would be the fun in that?    It's way better to force them to write and threaten millions of households every month.  It hastens their demise.  And it also gives them less idea who the weaker targets are.  By not declaring, I'm feel that I'm doing my bit for society, for the vulnerable elderly who get pressured into saying something that the machine can use to prosecute them wrongly.  The goons prey on people who get nervous or confused, stitching up those who don't know how to shut them down properly.  It's a disgrace in the modern world, to have such organised thuggery stalking our streets with the blessing of parliament.
It was about five years ago that I got fed up with all the threatening letters, and I actually did contact them to officially let them know that I don't require a TV licence.  But within only 3 months, they just started up with their threatening letter campaign again.   That really annoyed me.  Forcing people to declare innocence is wrong, but then still continuing to harass them is taking the biscuit.  It seems that I am not alone with this either, there are numerous others online reporting the same thing happening to them.  By filling in their declaration, I actually entered into a form of contract, but by failing to keep their end of the contract, they have breached it and released me from any future "implied" obligation to notify them.  Nothing further is required of me, and I have therefore switched tactic.
I'm now hoping for a goon to darken my door, so that I can record his or her name, and tell the goon that by giving me his or her name, they're now personally the official agent of an organisation which is conducting a harassment campaign against me via mail and in person.  I will then ask the goon to cease and desist, and declare that if they continue to contact me either in writing or in person, they will be entering into my contract at £150 per hour, charged a minimum of 1 hour for each and every incidence of correspondence.  I will assure said goon, that I fully intend to pursue any further attempts to harass or extort me, through the post or in person, and that I will also be seeking damages for distress.
Let's see how that pans out.  If a goon is foolish enough to waste his or her time returning with a warrant, we'll play the "signed by a magistrate" and requiring affidavits game.  Any accompanying police will be asked to confirm that they are NOT there to assist an illegal entry, and that they are NOT legal experts either.  They will politely be asked to confirm that their role is to observe a civil dispute, and to ensure that no breach of the peace occurs by either party...  I will refuse a digital version o f a warrant on an ipad, and insist on a physical copy for myself.  I will make sure that only a real warrant will gain access to my property, and they can then enjoy finding no physical equipment inside which can receive live broadcast Television channels.  If so inclined, they can petition my ISP to check that my IP address has never once opened the bbc iplayer app online, although I will formally notify the ISP that I do not consent to my data being released to authorities unless requested in connection with a serious criminal case which this is not.  I will film the entire interaction and use it in court as evidence of harassment which it most certainly is.
If you receive the letters on a regular basis, you will know how unpleasant some of them are.  Sometimes even I, with my full understanding of the legal situation, and my complete compliance with the law, am made to feel a short instinctive pang of anxiety at the official sounding threats.  The whole game is outrageous ad it's long past time that this gang of criminals are held to account.
I've been waiting five years now for them to show up.  Please can it be my turn soon.

These were a mix of jubilee, memorial and coronation. Maybe there is something I don't get but I see these as future classics and if i can buy these for the same price as a random scrap value coin I can't see any reason not to. Don't get me wrong I don't think they will double their money or anything but we are in a time where there are coins I think future collectors will be jizzing their pants over and people are letting it pass them by. 
 I don't get why anyone looking for soverigns would pass these up I'd only because people can't be arsed with the effort to make fakes

I sold worn George V’ths today for 390 each and bought better condition young head vics for £385 😍

Silly question….does the tv licence need to be paid in gold now??? I know it’s a gold monitor thread and all that

As far as the tv licence goes it’s just a tax..so..
 
17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a] to Caesar or not?”
18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me?19 Show me the coin used for paying tax.” They brought him a £10 note , 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
 “the governor of the Bank of England’ they replied.
Then he said to them, “So give back to the governor his paper , and to God what is God’s.”

Who's Gold Nostradamus?  Is he like Goldfinger?  

Who's Gold Nostradamus?  Is he like Goldfinger?  

Because you're paying the BBC to give you a blast propagandised view of events. If they were impartial and actually did proper journalism then people would be happy to pay. But to have them peddle the lies from the government... erm no. That's why I don't even have a TV. 

It's what it funds not how much it is.
Enjoy funding the likes of Lineker, shearer and Co. And the many others on muti million £ contracts. 

When I was trying to find out what zero hedge was about, Wikipedia described it as a far right libertarian financial blog. 
I am not sure what the benchmark between extremist and libertarian is. 
 
 
 
Gold up

It’s all happening …

I have made one. But they still send letters after 2 years. Nothing's change with me since the last time I spoke to them.

Nostradamus predicted the fall of the license fee in 2024

Shocking, disgusting, disgraceful. Don't they know Douglas and Joe are minorities? Douglas is gay and Joe has learning difficulties
Seriously though not a surprise. Men who speak their mind and strive for the truth are the greatest threat to their authoritarian gatekeeping of modern society
Gold at $2049/£1607!

Agreed
The BBC triggered me in recent years by claiming I was a far-right extremist! Only 20 years ago I would have been described by the BBC as a centrist, maybe even centre-left. It's not me that has changed it is the BBC. Now instead of documentaries about the bravery of our servicemen in WWII, we've given lectures about the bravery of a user on X who has transitioned from a woman into a seahorse. We're not allowed to drive combustion vehicles, not allowed to leave the EU, must support terrorists like Sinn Fein IRA and Hamas. Paying for the BBC is like paying a sponsorship to a far-left neo-Marxist political organisation
I might get ridiculed but I pay the BBC license as there are people in my house who want it. I also pay for Sky and TNT, sometimes Amazon. At least I've avoided Netflix 🤗

...and not a 'notice of a warrant' or some other claptrap they typically present when pushed (if at all!)
A warrant clearly signed by a named judge, accompanied by supporting affidavit and long list of due process done correctly.
