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.
MBFC is almost entirely created by one person (6 named on site, but 1 is by far the controlling authority).
Nobody is without bias, but a large organisation of many varying views can temper it to a tolerable amount. To say that a near one man operation can act without bias though is ridiculous.
To rely on MBFC to determine the credibility of a news source is like outsourcing your critical thinking to somebody else. They’re a hack organisation as much as the organisations they claim to call out.
