Warren and Lloyd have always said that the price of membership is just the price of a ‘coffee’ once a month. It is incredibly inexpensive.

Me, having been on the literal receiving end of governmental benefits, can say: that’s a coffee you don’t buy when you are dependent on money from the government. Not even once. I don’t know how that works in other parts of the world but here in Germany once you’re getting money from the state budget is as tight as it gets. To illustrate: if you have an additional small paying job you need to tell the officials and it gets deducted from your benefits. At that point CoG membership could cost 1, 5 or 20 GBP it would be unaffordable.

But in general it’s a can of snakes (not even worms) to open if we look at it from the “people are bad m’kay” perspective. That being said, there must be a way how we could make that happen.
