The site suddenly published 3 posts this morning when two were in the files for later. I will publish them when they are completed on other days.

I have posted comments on the ‘why’ topic. Will the existing comments also be published later?
Reply Yes if the technology works next time

I like the idea of funding the site using subscription; many of us have found this site useful over past decades, and making a modest contribution seems sensible for additional content.
However, I would remind you that many of us are private individuals rather than corporations.
In setting your price bracket, I would add you to remember this, perhaps offering more complex analytical posts at a corporate premium.
Finally, it would be great For you to host video or links to an active YouTube channel, as I know your speeches are often both timely and valuable, and with the rise in audiovisual content, it’s a great way of engaging with audiences, particularly in the USA.

@Justin Shasha; I disagree about the value of a YouTube channel, other than for speeches given at third-party venues, but those events will likely upload their own coverage, live or otherwise. A YouTube vlog is very time consuming, or simply becomes boring if sat behind a desk, hence why so many similar vlogers become ‘Shock-jocks’ to create an effect and thus following. Also it is easy to fall foul of YT rules, if moneytising the channel.

I agree with Justin Shasha’s comments.
A topic which I would welcome seeing included in your coverage is strategy for enabling the UK to strengthen its ability to control its destiny – for example, the UK is brilliant at producing step change innovation which can be applied to solving global problems but has got to relearn how to commercialise such innovation at scale – if this is successfully achieved, many of the UK’s entrenched shortcomings will shrink.

Sir John,
Recently, I was starting to sort out some of the “stuff” my wife and I have accumulated over the years and during that exercise, I came across an old handwritten book. The book contained material I used to use during my act as an entertainer in the early 1970s. It was mainly old jokes, one liners and put downs for hecklers. The material was very much of it’s day. As I read through it, I chuckled to myself and thought several times that I wouldn’t get away with telling that gag today.
This got me thinking about how our country and culture had changed over the last fifty years or so, and whether it was for the better or worse.
I listened to the radio this morning and they were talking about what a woman was and how a high court in Scotland would be ruling on what a woman was or was not. I thought to myself that surely, what a woman was, must be settled science.
I then got to thinking why there was, or appears to be, a drive to confuse people over what can and can’t be said and what is and isn’t socially acceptable. The conclusion I came to was that by undermining the levels of confidence in a population, it can make it easier for them to be governed because a confident population is harder to govern than a less confident one.
I wonder, now that you are out of front line politics, whether you would write a piece on how you feel our society and culture has changed over the last half a century or so, and where you see it going over the next fifty years.

Anyone who can’t define a woman in three words should be incasererated. No doubt the report will be 10 pages long full of caveats.
Down the pub we have no need to refer to a government guidance. We can even spot the not so many fakes.

Not sure where this ‘pay’ thing has originated from. I find the site interesting but, to be honest, somewhat repetitive. I’ve never understood the urge to publish an article every day – surely researching a topic and formulating an article must take time to maintain quality. I have to say I would not be willing to pay – to read LifeLogic say the same thing 19 times a day, regardless of the topic subject.
There is an amazing amount of content, on every subject under the sun, freely available on the internet. At the end of the day this site is a soapbox with a small number of people listening and responding. If it had a bigger reach and there was some sort of call to action, perhaps it would be worth being a member. I often find the most informative information is found in the comments.

I would encourage a patreon approach…people who want to actively support your important continuing work can pay a monthly amount to do so and in return get advance sight of your content before you them release it to a wider audience on here. You could then publish the best patreon comments (in your opinion) at the base of the article and then it would be open discussion on here.
