Aren’t you the bloke who was sentenced to 15 months in prison for falsely imprisoning a male escort, handcuffing him to a wall and beating him with a metal chain?
Makes complete sense.
🚨 Another Canary bank account has been frozen, and our money held
Recent events have created circumstances in which we have been left with no responsible alternative but to suspend Canary operations immediately.

2 years ago today, the Grenfell Tower Inquiry published its final report.
The majority of recommendations still outstanding remain the responsibility of Government.
This is about making people safer in their homes across the country.
The lack of progress is unacceptable.
The politicians are finally back in Westminster today. If you don’t want Andy Burnham to advance NHS privatisation (like Starmer was doing 🚨), hit the like button and share this. Let’s see what everyone thinks… 🌟
@natashalennard@DanielaGabor@VersoBooks I was walking in Highgate, London a couple of years ago and I didn't have any glasses on. I saw a shop sign on the road ahead of me and I groaned inwardly "oh no. Some trendy coffee shop or something has called itself duckrabbit." Then when I got closer that it was keys cut here
Brianna Ghey was 16 years old. She was brutally murdered.
Whatever your views about transgender people, surely there ought to be a point at which politics and ideology stop and basic human decency begins.
This was somebody’s daughter. A child who had an entire life ahead of her.
To look at her photograph after everything that happened to her and still choose to misgender her, describe her as “groomed” and use her death as ammunition in a culture war is something I find profoundly disturbing.
I’ve spent this week reading people tell me that their hostility towards transgender people comes from “concern”.
Where is the concern here? Where is the compassion?
We can disagree about policy. We can debate medicine. We can question laws and safeguarding.
But surely we haven’t reached a point where respecting the dignity of a murdered 16-year-old is considered too much to ask.
Brianna deserved better while she was alive. Her memory deserves better now. 🏳️⚧️
Andy Burnham says the bigger questions of oil and gas will come "at the right moment in time."
On the eve of another heatwave when thousands of people have died already, when is a better time to rule out drilling for new oil and gas?
If you genuinely thought a social media post may incite violence towards yourself, the very last thing you would be doing would be increasing its reach by reposting and broadcasting it to millions of people.
EXPLOSIVE! An arrest warrant should be promptly issued against this self-confessed war criminal.
The more Israeli leaders get away with their crimes, the more the system meant to protect us all gets irreparably destroyed.
The illegal US blockade of Cuba continues to put millions of lives at risk.
The British government must condemn the collective punishment of the Cuban people and break Trump's siege with urgent humanitarian aid and support.
Without the wonderful NHS I or both my daughters wouldn't be here,eldest developed diabetes when she was 4 and since has had kidney/pancreas transplant, youngest bowel perforated, blue lighted to hospital and they managed to save her and me.....
Independent leftwing media outlet the Canary has said it is unable to pay its staff after Lloyds Bank blocked access to “a substantial amount” of its money and refused to say why.
The outlet has accused Lloyds of “debanking” it, and suggested the move may be related to its anti-Zionist and pro-Palestine stance. “Whilst we do not currently know the reasons behind our debanking, we cannot afford to be naive about this,” it said in a statement on Tuesday.
“We do know that multiple other politically engaged people have suffered similar actions by other banks in recent times.”
The outlet has contacted the bank several times since losing access to its account, it said, but “Lloyds has not explained why it has taken this action. Despite multiple communications from us, the bank has not been forthcoming with its reasoning.”
“The immediate effect has been that we have been unable to pay any staff or contractors,” the Canary’s CEO, Steve Topple, told Novara Media.
“We have a large team, and all of them are now extremely distressed and in limbo. Many of them are marginalised people and it has hit them very hard. We are trying our best to mitigate the situation and have so far received much-appreciated support from members of the public.”
Lloyds Bank has not responded to a request for comment from Novara Media.
The Canary announced plans in May to launch a daily newspaper with a circulation of 25,000 across England and Wales, and began distributing copies to newsagents later the same month.
