Beer Coins

The donation system is back up for anyone who fancies contributing a beer or such. Donations mainly go towards server and hosting costs as well as keeping out the bad guys…

Form is on the right, you’ll also get an exclusive email each week with free books, articles etc.

Cheers.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you for the donations. Every penny helps, every click helps and every share means our content is more widely seen. Thank you to all our readers and supporters.

Each donation helps us to mitigate server attacks, pay hosting bills and keep the site going (over 15 years now!)

The TW tip-jar is to the side, you have a choice of PayPal or Credit Card.

Tip Jar now active.

After being kiboshed by Stripe, we’ve now setup one-click donations for PayPal. I understand a lot of you dislike them, but its our only remaining provider.

Thank you for all the comments and ramblings over the past 15 years, if you care to throw a few cents into the jar it would be appreciated.

This doesn’t matter, really, it doesn’t

President Xi has ambitions to challenge the global dominance of the dollar. One way to do that would be to start trading oil and gas in renminbi.

Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest crude oil exporter, has traded oil entirely in dollars since 1974. But talks about pricing sales to China, Saudi’s largest trading partner, in renminbi have been accelerating.

Given that we’ve got large and liquid FX markets what the oil is priced in doesn’t matter a damn. Takes 10 minutes and 0.01% of thje amount to transfer £ to $ and so on.

Sure, if your currency doesn’t have a liquid market – like those of countries that try to peg the value – then you’ve a problem. But those problems aren’t because4 oil is in $, it’s because you’ve a pegged currency and thus no liquid market.

Free blogs, eh?

TimWorstall has been free for roughly 14 years. We have ever increasing server costs and attack mitigation costs. If you can help us out with a donation – it would be greatly appreciated!

We know what Mark Drayford means here

The UK could break apart unless it is rebuilt as a “solidarity union” where every citizen’s rights to public services and financial security are protected, the first minister of Wales, has warned.

He’s run out of Welsh money to spend in Wales so he’s insisting on having more English money to spend in Wales. Otherwise he’ll take his ball home.

Unsurprising

Single-parent households are among the most exposed to the cost of living crisis, with a savings pot 20 times smaller than the UK average, analysis shows.

The modal UK household has two adult earners in it. Households with only one potential earner will do worse. And?

Aunt Agatha Books: Now Available / Shipping

Its been some time since we announced that we were publishing Aunt Agatha as a booklet. We’ve had COVID, (more) Labour Party and Conservative Party incompetence and Putin.

The books have finally been delivered and will be contacting those who donated to send out their copies as soon as possible.

Those who donated to the project should login to their donation profile (linked above) and should find a request for postal details. We still have 60+ copies available. A simple donation gets you a book.

Numbers and journalists

By the end of an average week, Peaty would have swum around 40 miles — more than 2,500 lengths of a regular 25m swimming pool.

Which Olympian is going to be training in a half sized pool? And since when is that half size regarded as regular?

Reason Not to use PayPal v.56930

  1. Two months ago we were told that we could no longer access our PayPal account as they seemed our content to be extreme and they did not like our politics. We moved to Stripe for all donors. Yesterday the re-enabled our account only for it or be banned again a few hours later citing that our content is “extreme”. We hope you agree that our views are in no way “right-wing extreme” and that we so not condone any right or left wing extremism (Centrists need not worry!)

With this is mind we will no longer be able to accept PayPal for donations or for the purchase of literature.

This is once again the big guys weighing down against the unpopular (but nonetheless true) opinion.

We still need your help more than ever.

From the outset we’ve scrutinised the ever-changing rules and regulations and numbers to and allow people to understand them and why they are wrong. By contributing, you will be helping fund our sites and the coming together of thousands of other people around the country who believe in defending our rights and making Britain fairer for all. Big corporate or small, we’re in this together.

Enjoy- Tim & The Team

Editing Twitter

Hmm, so that doesn’t work, darn. Changed the text to what he means:

A nation is dependent upon a meeting of minds. The southeast of England and Ely no longer share that meeting of minds. Their values and aspirations fundamentally differ. So there is no Union. And that is why the UK is over.

PayPal Suspended Us 🛑

  1. I was wary about getting involved with PayPal to start as i’ve heard about them terminating accounts, but…

Over the weekend PayPal informed us that they would no longer be willing to process payments for us due to “inappropriate content”. What this actually means is “we dont believe in your political opinion” both yours, and my own. Fine, they’re free to go about their business as they wish.

With this is mind we will no longer be able to accept PayPal for donations or for the purchase of literature.

Let’s move on, plenty of more payment processors in the world..

If you have a recurring donation with PayPal we ask that you cancel your recurring subscription HERE or via  your DonorBox login (DonorBox is still good for Visa and Mastercard Payments) and move to our Visa and Mastercard system powered by Stripe also through DonorBox (its also somewhat easier).

This is once again the big guys weighing down against the unpopular (but nonetheless true) opinion.

But on the brightside, one week to go till the pub in the UK (lets hope the weather clears up!)

We still need your help more than ever.
