The Canary has been debanked by Lloyds. Despite banking with them for almost a decade they are currently withholding a substantial amount of our money. We are left with barely any funds.

We do know that multiple other politically engaged people have suffered similar actions by other banks in recent times. It is not lost on us that powerful banks are able to restrict the financial activity of anti-Zionist and pro-Palestine organisations and individuals. Whilst we do not currently know the reasons behind our debanking, we cannot afford to be naive about this.

It is an outrage that the Canary has been unceremoniously dropped into financial instability with no notice or explanation from Lloyds.

Strong left bias, but "mostly factual" rating from mbfc

Mbfc also calls hasbara rags like Times of Israel "left leaning and mostly factual".

Guess that's middle of the lane for most people then.

Didn't Farage make a great deal about this sort of thing happening to him?

Yeah, but that was when he was dropped by a high net-worth bank for being insufficiently high net-worth.

He just pretended he was being cancelled.
