Some of the biggest YouTubers have had to rely on sales of merchandise in the early days of their channels to survive. Before we get into it I'd just like to say, I hope you and your families and loved ones are all ok and keeping well and safe. Also, I'd like to say thanks for all the great comments and interaction from the last video. As I think I said in the video, it is a great feeling to know that I've made a connection with you. So, what's the "merch" all about? For anyone reading the blog that doesn't watch the videos, why not? :) But to bring you up to speed, I, of course, am no different to the big YT channel players. We all start somewhere, right? So, to try to get some financial support for the channel to survive, I have designed some imagery that will go on to merchandise. At first, it will be a range of clothing: hoodies, sweatshirts, T's, hats etc. But what kick-started this was a request from a veteran subscriber some time ago that asked ...

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/may/14/labour-urges-tory-mps-to-admit-keir-starmer-video-was-doctored ​ The Tory Minister for Mental Health, Suicide Prevention and Patient Safety, Nadine Dorries and Tory MP's, Lucy Allan and Maria Caulfield have no problem siding with the far-right . ​ After sharing a video from a far-right Twitter account that falsely claimed Keir Starmer obstructed the prosecution of grooming gang members when he led the CPS all three commented at what the video purported to show, with Dorries calling it “revealing”. ​ What is "revealing" is that they have no problem in accusing a former DPP of an attempt to obstruct justice in what is one of the most horrific crimes there can be. An organised criminal gang trafficking little girls who were essentially to be sold. ​ Of course, this is all done without any evidence, any sources cited, just a far-right-wing twitter account shouting anything to stir up racial hatred and division. ​ ...

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/may/07/we-need-to-build-on-the-furlough-scheme-not-cut-it-to-avoid-mass-unemployment A Return to the 80's for the UK? This article, rightly, makes the point that forcing people back to work during a pandemic when the status of who's been infected, who hasn't and if there is anyone resistant to Covid-19 is unknown. That's before we understand exactly what a second and third wave of this will be like and do to the wider community. ​ However, the line that really chimed with me was the opening one: ​ "A senior government source warned yesterday that people are “addicted” to the furlough scheme. “We have to get people back to work,” he said. ​ If you are outside the UK and younger than I, to be honest, that's probably 90% of those reading this, you may not be familiar with the modern industrial history and why a stupid, crass and clearly ignorant comment like that from the ruling class would "chime...
