And I don’t, but BoJo is pushing for Russia to be excommunicated from SWIFT, whilst Germany, Italy and France argue against it. Having worked in the City for a few decades, I’ve a little experience of this network and believe that removing Putin’s access to the tool is the most damaging non-violent action we can take.
Considered thoughts?

Do it.

The complication for Germany of course is their reliance on Russian gas supply. They need to pay for it somehow - although I read they are trying to change things to allow for swift to be switched off.

Yes. Maybe they are looking for those chequebooks at the back of their drawers.

Yes. It’s called the B.A.C.K.P.O.C.K.E.T system

You need to consider what the alternatives are.
Could Russia team up with Chins for financial transactions ? That would be awful as a consequence.

Or do you keep Russia in it, so that you can monitor where money is going, and possibly intercept it. If so you wouldnt want him to know.

There really is no alternative PDI.
