I'm not happy with them asking for £2/3/5/10-plus bank card monlthly Direct Debits, especially as the 'default' setting, while you are asked to a box to make the "one off donation". Charities essentially compete for people's DD money in the UK (they all ask for a few quid a month - and of course most of those who do it will only do one or two), and it really feels like the WMF are competing for our money now. How are they a bloody charity other than as a tax loophole? It's just so dodgy.
Incidentally I haven't seen any banner ads this year, at least in the UK. I know they had criticism last year for over-exposing his alpha 'look at me' face, but Wales has spun that around as him being told by his staff that they make more money when his image is up there (ie they talked him into doing it). If his face really is the reason for increased donating (and it doesn't necessarily follow that it is) - it is scary in many ways of course.
