How can I make a purchase from Great Britain in the USA

How can I make a purchase from Great Britain in the USA?
I keep getting declined because my bank will not allow transactions from Great Britain, and the Visa Gift Cards dont even work. It's pissing me off. @Gibson - My bank is saying Great Britain is the primary source of fraud and wont even allow the transaction when I TELL them to. It's fucking obnoxious. I feel like it aint my own damn money,

You should be able to make a purchase with a regular Visa card although you may get caned with the % on the conversion rate. Mastercard or Amex should work as well but you'll still be subject to the conversion rate. US/UK transactions are a pain, trust me I know, I've done a few and you'd think you were trying to send money to the Moon or a 3rd World country in either direction sometimes. I've asked at my (UK) bank and my daughter has asked at her US bank(s) and basically they're clueless but they don't care cos they get a nice big fat commission by ripping you off. Only other alternative is to see if the product is available on somewhere like e-Bay that uses Paypal or similar or failing that see if the vendor will accept an IMO (International Money Order) or a Western Union payment.

The seller has most likely had problems with purchasers from Great Britain and has instructed its payment processor to not accept payments from British banks. You will most likely have to call the seller and make alternate arrangements such as international money order.

To join a politcal party just go to the Party office in your district and apply for membership. Any memeber of the party in good standing may stand for selection to become a candidate for Parliament; though usually the party selects the more prominent and established members who have spent several years in the party and are considered to be relaiable. Each party has its own proceedure for selecting candiadates. Once selected by the party you run for election and if you win you become a Memeber of Parliament. To become Prime Minister you have to be selected by the party to be party leader, and have your party win the election. Each party has its own process for selecting the Party Leader.

WHO ARE THE UNSEEN POWERS AT WORK in BRITAIN THAT DO THIS TYPE OF THING

WHO ARE THE UNSEEN POWERS AT WORK in BRITAIN THAT DO THIS TYPE OF THING ?
See the link and the said email commencing: Dear Stan, I think you must have an idea as to my true identity. (I'm not going to use my real name so lets just say i work for HMG.) I can certainly confirm that you will be singled out for "special attention" should you attempt to upset the status quo. You are doing yourself no favours having such an overtly anti Masonic web site. There are powers at work in our great Country to ensure that the status is maintained and you should therefore heed my advice and abandon the folly you are currently pursuing as it could lead to unforeseeable consequences.

You would have to ask around... Ask the companies you want to work for BEFORE applying for them, if they could do that in the future.. it all really depends on the company
