00:00.000 --> 00:02.360
A lot of you have very kindly been asking,

00:02.840 --> 00:04.760
what's the best way we can support you?

00:04.940 --> 00:07.620
So thank you for caring and thank you for wanting to support me.

00:07.740 --> 00:10.920
There is now a new, better way of supporting me.

00:11.060 --> 00:13.000
Some of you subscribe via sub-stack,

00:13.220 --> 00:14.480
some of you are on Patreon,

00:14.940 --> 00:16.680
some of you are even on subscribe star.

00:16.840 --> 00:17.880
And those all work in their way.

00:17.980 --> 00:19.400
The problem is, I find,

00:19.620 --> 00:21.240
I mean, take sub-stack as an example,

00:21.440 --> 00:24.620
sub-stack has been a great community for like-minded folk.

00:24.780 --> 00:28.220
But it is heavily controlled by the enemy.

00:28.220 --> 00:30.340
They deboost people like me.

00:30.440 --> 00:31.960
They want, they want normie voices.

00:32.100 --> 00:32.860
They don't want,

00:33.020 --> 00:36.720
they don't want really alternative people being given any prominence.

00:36.800 --> 00:41.520
Plus, of course, they get a cut of your generous donations.

00:41.820 --> 00:42.880
So here's an idea.

00:43.100 --> 00:45.340
If you want to, you can now subscribe

00:46.400 --> 00:49.260
direct on my website at

00:50.100 --> 00:51.640
jamestellingpole.co.uk.

00:51.780 --> 00:53.200
The website's been running for quite a while,

00:53.320 --> 00:55.060
but thanks to my assistant Andrew,

00:55.200 --> 00:56.480
it's now got new features

00:56.480 --> 00:58.640
where you can subscribe directly to me.

00:58.920 --> 01:02.720
You get access to all my old archive material.

01:02.920 --> 01:05.740
You get my podcasts as they come out.

01:06.020 --> 01:08.200
And you can comment on the podcast

01:08.200 --> 01:10.260
and you can communicate with me

01:10.260 --> 01:12.620
probably more directly than you can elsewhere.

01:12.860 --> 01:15.300
I think it's probably the best way forward.

01:15.420 --> 01:17.480
Also, it obviates the risk

01:17.480 --> 01:20.680
of my being suddenly randomly closed down

01:20.680 --> 01:22.160
by some of these other websites.

01:22.380 --> 01:23.860
I mean, they're not our friends.

01:24.040 --> 01:25.000
So if you want to support me direct,

01:25.000 --> 01:28.080
go to jamestellingpole.co.uk

01:29.140 --> 01:30.480
and sign up there.

01:31.400 --> 01:32.480
Thank you, my sharklings.

01:32.700 --> 01:34.240
I love you all, but I love...

01:34.240 --> 01:36.240
You know, I'm not supposed to have favourites,

01:36.320 --> 01:38.520
but I do kind of extra love

01:38.520 --> 01:41.100
those of you who make the effort to support me,

01:41.200 --> 01:42.220
because without your support,

01:42.360 --> 01:43.440
I wouldn't be able to do what I do.

01:43.780 --> 01:44.660
So thank you.
