//Sadly, our own Government having gained independence from the EU, could have showed leadership and slapped a SWIFT ban on Tuesday, but we didn’t.// You dont have the first clue on how SWIFT works do you? NB, I have worked on it since 1987, I do.

Do be daft.
Germany have a third of their exports and imports with Russia, so they want to be paid.
The countries most in favour of banning Russia from SWIFT are the ones who do little or no business with Russian.
Sadly, our own Government having gained independence from the EU, could have showed leadership and slapped a SWIFT ban on Tuesday, but we didn’t.
Instead they are waiting until the EU does it, and then we will follow like a lost poodle

// HTF can Cyprus rely on Russian banks? Gawd the average village post office could deal with that market, ship em over to civilisation pronto! //
Wow, your knowledge of the world is the same as a US infant. Cyprus (mainly the Turkish Northern Cyprus) is like the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands to the Russians.
They will launder money, have secret bank accounts, and help clean dirty money before it goes to Swiss or UK individuals bank accounts.

Instead of whinging about Germany, Italy, Hungary, and Cyprus not doing it, ask yourself why hopeless Johnson isn’t doing it?
You were all in favour of the UK banning SWIFT on Tuesday based on a dodgy SKYNews report.
Having Brexitted we are free of the shackles of the EU, and we can act independently, and do this now. But we won’t until The EU does it.
We have gone from a world leader to a follower thanks to Nigel and Boris.

// The reason Johnson didn’t do it is because he can’t do it without everyone’s agreement. //
Yes he can. We are not in the EU, so we do not have to wait for Cyprus to agree, we can act independently.
SWIFT is run out of Belgium, but it is run as a cooperative with 75 countries as members, not just EU countries.
For a SWIFT ban to be effective, more countries than the UK need to impose a ban. But there is no reason why the UK cannot lead and set the ball rolling. But Boris isn’t very good at leading.
