Monevator becomes paid membership blog

Getting back on topic, I've paid for a years membership. I've made good use of the site over the years, so time to pay something back. I'll review in a years time and see how the member only articles have stacked up. The MotleyFool used to be good years ago and then took a weird turn so if having paid members helps preserve what's good about Monevator, then I'm happy to invest in his project for now.1

I've decided, for a few reasons mentioned here, that I will not become a member of Monevator.
I have benefited from Monevator in the past and I believe the factual comparative analysis will continue to be available to all, but I frankly don't enjoy the partisan views sometimes expressed and disparaging comments directed to those not agreeing with the narrative ... as seen on todays's blog comments (no. 26) ... "Feel free to go read something else rather than cluttering up this thread. Cheers."
After all I have MoneySavingExpert ... love to the admin team.4 -

This chart also comes in handy 😉That's right. The good news is that once you hit rock bottom, the only way is up. For how long we don't know, but we can all dream.I note your diagram is from Conservative Post whose slogan is "Pumping positive press back into Britain".
Ah, the good old "attack the poster" deflection trick 😉
Good on them. The chart is sourced on official state data.
Conservatives are the world's oldest and most successful democratically elected party.
Britain needs more positive press. The relentless narrative of anti-Britain hysteria in the UK media is increasingly at odds with factual reality. From doom-loop recession predictions that are wrong, to Remain win predictions that are wrong, to inflation predictions that are wrong, to house price collapse forecasts that are wrong, to unemployment "predictions" that are wrong, over and over again, the populist hard-Left UK financial media -- egged on by the likes of the Bank of England -- are out of touch and get it (wildly) wrong. There is a pattern of failure. Whether you like it or not
