Yes, even the concessionary membership was £2.50 a month. If Your Party wants support from the poorest then they need to make it voluntary as you say. Even the old Labour Party charged on £1 for unemployed members.

Thanks. I have already looked at this and tried out some of the links. I couldn't see a solution - but I'll take another look. Thank you.

I'm not so sure. It was a pretty reactionary period in Britain with harsh laws that prevented assemblies of more than 50 people, anti-union activities and a serious curtailment of freedoms that were put into law (The Treasonable Practices Act (1795), The Combinations Acts (1795-1800) and the suspension of Habeas Corpus (1798-1801). Anyone considered radical was rounded up and threatened - sometimes physically. Even poor old William Blake was arrested.

Wasn't it an imprisonable offence for anyone to voice favourable opinions about the French Revolution or be in possession of republican literature at the end of the 19th Century in UK?

Really not surprised. Let's be honest, any left group that genuinely posed a threat to the current status quo in UK would be infiltrated and destroyed from the inside. Call me paranoid but I wouldn't join a party these days because there's a strong chance I'd be the only non-undercover police in the room.

Sorry just adding these. Worth reading (critically, of course, taking account of who is writing) - but they all say similar things:

Craig Murray has written recently about it:

Shame that the mainstream broadcasters and press continue to mislead by refusing to call these far-right protests (and refuse to define what far-right is just to mislead a little more). Maybe white supremicist neo-nazi is a better term.

The sums being invested in the drive to war are grotesque. There's a difference between making sure the UK is properly defended and the £150 billion+ a year the UK is moving to commit to spending on weapons of mass destruction with little enlargement of the actual armed forces. The drumbeat of war causes only hysteria and it's very hard to discern the difference between fact and fiction.

I'm skeptical about the reality of the "democratic" nature of the organisation. According to reports, the meetings held by Your Party have been pretty much word-of-mouth invite-only rather than open to all supporters. The people running the various organising committees have been selected by the controlling factions of Your Party. The attendees of the founding conference will be chosen by "lottery" rather than elected by local groups and organisations. I understand the need to protect Your Party from infiltration but this isn't the way.

Seems to me there's a clear call to right in the UK to escalate to violence and greater intimidation. Those of us who are not on the right really need to consider starting some form of defence groups in preparation for when things get pretty tough... which I think is inevitable now.

Agree with Navidrome. Works great in browser and the Substreamer ios app.
