Hi there 😉
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). How can I transfer them to Binance?
The protests didn't fizzle out, the government and media lied to the public, saying the emergency services couldn't get fuel. Yet fuel stations are legally required to keep a reserve for them.Public support waned and the protests stopped. The army couldn't possibly cover 10% of the UK's fuel needs, so it was lip service only.
