What kind of evil is this? A person has to pay with his personal property for the sins of his former country? It's one thing to seize the profits of crime, it's another to do it by fiat. This trend of doing whatever is convenient for the government while totally ignoring due process is ominous -- it can be used against any one of us at any time.
It's disgusting and disturbing. Sets some pretty fuckin scary precidents just like freezing a Canadians account because they bought a freedom convoy tshirt. Further proof that we need to do away with massively centralized and government controlled personal finances and shouldn't go anywhere near any iteration of a fed crypto coin.

"Law is common force organized to prevent injustice;---in short, Law is Justice."
Law anymore is coercion.

There are so many hidden stealth taxes that have been introduced since Blair.
Non Profit Charitable companies with fleets of new cars and vans charging ordinary people call out fees and certification fees that are just taxes.
No sympathy for the oligarchs Putin gave them 8 years notice to repatriate from the U.K.
They chose the trappings of high class English Society over their mainly humble origins.
Yes, the principle is terrible.
Yeah, it's scary. It's not new, it's just finally exposed for all to see.
