[Margaret Pilkington]

This may not worry some people but it could have sinister connotations.
If some government body gets wind that you are overweight, then Asda may refuse to serve you with the box of chocolates you are buying for your mother’s birthday.
Likewise they might not allow you to but a bottle of wine…making you swap it for a bag of carrots a cabbage and a bag of Spanish onions.
Now that may sound far fetched…but if they want to know what you are buying and you use a debit card then they have that information to do whatever they want with it.

We have already seen that the population can be easily controlled. covid taught us that.
