You've commented this several times, but it's actually quite misleading despite being technically accurate. Yes, there hasn't technically been a universal ban since a few years ago, but until this year legislation basically a

Not just to tourists, unfortunately a significant part of our (British) politics is selling our past to voters, as rose-tinted "good old days" emotions at the expense of focussing on how to make the best of the current situation (

I broadly agree with your point - that in many situations people feel happier and more willing to donate their time than to be paid but paid less than they feel their time is worth commercially. But you made the point badly, confusing thing

They can't do it retroactively for already received donations (not ethically at least, I don't think it would be illegal in this situation), but it wouldn't at all be a problem for them to announce "donations from today
