Hi there,
I didn’t expect to be talking to you before next Monday, but this can’t keep. PayPal has closed the account for The Richie Allen Show. I received a pretty blunt email this morning, advising me that I “can no longer do business with PayPal” because I was in “violation of “PayPal’s acceptable use policy.”
Naturally I called them. The first person I spoke with put me on hold and then hung up. I called back and spoke to another agent who advised me that she couldn’t find out why the account was closed and that I would probably never find out.
After pointing out that this was unacceptable and insisting that I be put in touch with someone who could explain what was going on, I was again put on hold for a few minutes before the call was again abruptly disconnected. I’ve since been advised by someone who used to work for them that they’ll never offer me or anyone else an explanation for closing an account.
I’m fuming of course. It’s disgusting. I’m sure that buried in their terms and conditions, they claim the right to close an account without notice and without explanation, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s legal.
PayPal takes 5 per cent of every single transaction. It could be argued therefore, that the company is effectively in business with every one of its account holders and that at the very least it should have to show cause for closing an account.
Anyway, it is what it is. Those of you who have used PayPal to set up a monthly contribution to The Richie Allen Show will be wondering why your payments aren’t going through. Now you know. It’s best to cancel it now to avoid receiving the same notices over and over.
I know full well what is going on here. Of course I haven’t been in violation of any of PayPal’s policies, which is why they will never engage me in a conversation. This is censorship and nothing else.
When the account was originally set up, PayPal was made fully aware of its purpose. I advised them at the time that I wasn’t selling anything and wouldn’t be exchanging goods in return for payment. I had to be very specific about this for obvious reasons. They were hugely concerned about terrorism funding at the time, so anyone receiving payments and not exchanging goods was of concern to them.
The company knew that I was an independent radio producer/presenter that was supported by the listeners. The company was well aware that this was entirely voluntary. There was no ambiguity. They were satisfied, I was happy and I’ve been in business with them for years without a single complaint from anyone who has ever supported the show.
A great friend of mine who has taught journalism at third level told me earlier this year that the establishment would never put up with The Richie Allen Show. I didn’t need to be told that. The show’s reach is frightening.
Before taking my holiday, the show was beating the MSM’s top radio programmes in the iTunes charts. My live show averages over 200,000 listeners. It’s downloaded over 2.5 million times a month. They won’t stand for it. There has never been anything like The Richie Allen Show.
I’m not bragging. You know who I am. It’s a fact and it bears repeating today. The show is a phenomenon. Then again, I work around eighty hours a week to fill it with content. Its success is not an accident.
I don’t know what we’ll do in terms of using another service, but I have some very good people looking at it for me. Don’t feel the need to bombard me with suggestions. Like I said, I’ve got some great tech folks working on it.
In the meantime, the show still has a bank account. The details are on this site. Hopefully, I’ll have news about an alternative to PayPal by next week.
Up until today, I was enjoying my break. I’ve needed it. The job is exhausting. But I’m determined to enjoy the next few days and I’ll be in good form come Monday.
Speak soon,
Richie
I had my monthly subscription to Richie taken from my bank account on 15th August via Paypal. I’m trying to find out if Richie would have got that money. Would anyone know how it works? If Richie hasn’t received it then what has happened to the £10? (not a lot I know). Anyway I’ll be donating direct to Richie from now on .

This started a few weeks ago already. I sent you 50 bucks or was trying to at least and PayPal would not process the payment. When I tried again it said the address could not be found. Was wondering what alternative ways you had for donations but I guess this explains it. Hope you didn’t lose any money still left in you PayPal account.
Looking forward to your return tomorrow you fecking baldy gammon :).

I always split my donation between the bank and PayPal, in case this ever happened.
Now i need to adjust my monthly DD to “top up” what’s been barred by PayPal.
I’d advise Richie get a back up bank account with a different building society / bank an all, just in case.
Paypal are out of line for this. As user of theres, i expected to donate to the RA show. Who are they to interrupt my transaction??
It’s clear Richie tells too much truth.
But this is a good opportunity for more people to be aware of the need to donate to Richie. I have since this madness began, and am so grateful for what he does. If we all help, he’ll be okay.

Richie it’s time you started accepting cryptocurrency.
It’s easier than you think.

If you weren’t hitting nerves they wouldn’t be retaliating in a predictably low way. It’s more incentive to keep hitting them where it hurts. You are winning. We are winning. Probably gets worse before it gets better but majority not wearing masks in my local Sainsbury’s in what I would call a very compliant area gave me a massive smile today. Even a lot of staff not wearing them. Sounds like such a little thing but I was shocked.
Love the show Richie, stay strong.

What total bastards they are! I’m sure you’ll very soon sort out another way to get our contributions. They’re refusing to honour our payments to you – there’s got to be something really underhand about that legally? Even if we go back to old fashioned cheques and a PO Box for a while it would be something I for one would do it that way. Love and Truth always finds a way for honest payment for honest men doing honest work
Love Bel 💕

I contribute to your show Richie and my last payment to you on Paypal was on the 15th August so I hope that money gets through to you? The only other monthly payment via Paypal I have is to the Light Paper. Will be closing my paypal account now though and will find an alternate way to contribute

Richie you have them frightened, that’s great, not about your paypal account, they are total dicks for just cancelling that, but great news that you are clearly a concern to them, keep up the good fight, it’s working 🙂 xxx

Hi Rich. I will be closing my PayPal account too.
Bastards!!!!
I’m waiting to see if my august payment to you comes out on the the 23rd and I will then close it.
If they want to know why , I will tell them in no uncertain terms.
Wankers !!

Just logged on to see if you had anything up about tomorrow’s show. I am so sorry they have done this to you. It’s absolutely disgraceful. You know your listeners will continue to support the show. We’ve missed you but hope you enjoyed your rest and didn’t let this upset your last few days. Looking forward to tomorrow’s show.

This is shocking, so they’re missing out on a percentage too…more fool them I say. I’ll set my payment up again. Hope you had a relaxing break but will be good to have you back. 😊
Report
Absolutely.
I never thought that PayPal take a cut. I should have just used his bank account only and fucked off paypal.
I used to split it but the lions share went via PayPal (no overdraft). What an idiot i am.
I’m glad we can discuss his funding though. He’s gonna need it.

The Criminals in Charge are expecting a shortage of care home workers
The Isle of Wight council are currently carrying out a “resilience planning exercise” and asking volunteers whether they would be willing to offer their support at care homes, as the industry faces an “emergency” on the Island.

I first watched it on censor u tube (aka the gestapo tube), but it’s also up on brand new tube.
I’ll post the gestapo link which should work ok, though this link may be taken down by them in due course.
That Odysee link is definitely working , so it might be an issue with your browser?
I’ve also posted it to the social Shari-Rose , so you could try clicking there if this doesn’t work.
Also, it’s under the heading “Celebrity Traitors – The roll call of shame” on all other platforms.
(Typing in ‘Celebrity Traitors’ should be enough?)
Here’s the censor u tube link.

Sorry Richie, totally off topic, but wanted to get this out, Aussie police fired rubber bullets and tear gas into unarmed peaceful protesters including kids in Melbourne today. Premiere Dan Andrews, Police Minister and the Police Commissioner need to be charged as terrorists. Anyone that still believes this is about a public health matter needs to wake up fast.

Just closed my long-time Paypal account “with extreme prejudice” as they say. It feels good. I would encourage everyone to do likewise.
