I wrote “twiter” instead of “twitter”, for I am an oaf.

But at least not a twit.

Good for them! 🙂

Looks like a bandwagon.
I hope it’s real. I think it is, and have plonked a bit in His Grace’s collection plate; I trust him (Cranmer), but I hope this isn’t another Craig Shergold in the making.
(Anyone else around here old enough to remember that one?)
Andrew: yup, f’sure. Cowen and BBH are both people or organisations, known under their real names, doing media interviews under their real names, who’ll really go to real jail if this is a fraud.
I’ve no idea whether Cranmer’s identifiable as a real-life person or not, as I can’t stand him and avoid reading him unless his pieces are being discussed elsewhere, but it’d be a ridiculously bizarre and long-game fraud if he were to steal the money now and disappear.
Relatedly, let’s do something nice for Ashraf Haziq (from Jamie Cowen, who is real, and was on the radio this AM) is a good cause.
(Haziq is the kid who was filmed being helped up after a beating, and then robbed by his helpers)
Cranmer’s blog is also running a collection.
Summat went wrong with your link, John.

Scepticism is good; cynicism is excessive.
