Matt Hancock shared his crypto-wisdom in front of a fake fire and the burns kept coming

We’d barely had time to process the news that Rishi Sunak has set the wheels in motion for HM Treasury NFTs as part of a move into cryptocurrency, when up popped Matt Hancock in a cringeworthy video to explain the government’s plan.

Imagine being secretly filmed snogging a colleague like a Year 12 kid at a bus stop and it not being the worst video you’re in.

The average household uses 242kwh of electricity a month.
A single bitcoin transaction uses 1,173kwh of electricity.
At a time when we need greater energy security to meet demand, that's a lot of electric logs to be throwing on the fire… https://t.co/qOtL8T8G7H

The latest plan to make brexit a success, finally:

Try to get your heads around the absurdity of the assertion that *crypto will increase transparency*

You will begin to realise the Orwellian times we are living in. https://t.co/blnPROhINZ
