The founder of Mumsnet, Justine Roberts, has revealed she was blacklisted by Barclays and Ocado and branded a “bigot” for standing up for women’s rights to access single-sex spaces, as she welcomes the Supreme Court’s trans ruling. The Mail has the story.
The founder of Mumsnet said she feared the site might not survive after they were branded “bigots” and blacklisted by big business for standing up for women’s rights.
Justine Roberts singled out Barclays and Ocado, who she claimed had refused to advertise or partner with the popular online forum when it called for the Government to clarify the definition of ‘a woman’ under equality legislation.
In a statement posted on Mumsnet in the wake of Wednesday’s Supreme Court ruling, Ms Roberts said she felt under intense “pressure” from activists because of its stance, but stressed that “even in the darkest moments” she refused to ban discussion on the issue, saying that would have been “contrary to what Mumsnet is about”.
Ms Roberts wrote: “It’s been severely testing at times – there were moments I genuinely thought we might never see the tide turn, or at least not in our generation. … Mumsnet risked being permanently labelled as bigoted, vicious, and ‘on the wrong side of history’.
“A fair number of organisations pulled their advertising under pressure from activists – both internal and external. I’m sure there were many more we never heard from who simply steered clear.
“Commercial partnerships became noticeably harder to secure. The low point was discovering we’d been blacklisted on instruction from the top brass at Barclays – just weeks before its CEO resigned over concealing ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
“When we included a call to clarify the definition of sex in the Equality Act in our 2024 Mumsnet Manifesto, Ocado – who had been excited about a partnership – abruptly pulled out, citing Mumsnet’s ‘hateful political views’.”
Despite repeated attempts to explain our position – as a platform committed to amplifying women’s voices – they’ve refused to speak to us ever since.
“Nonetheless, even in the darkest moments, when I feared the site might not survive, we never considered banning discussion of this issue altogether. That would have been completely contrary to what Mumsnet is about: a space for mothers to talk about what matters to them.”
Under the landmark judgment, from the UK’s highest court, transgender women are no longer legally women, meaning they will not be allowed to take part in women’s sport or be on single-sex hospital wards.
Changing rooms must also “be based on biological sex” and Baroness Kishwer Falkner, Chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), has already pledged to pursue organisations that fail to enforce women-only spaces.
Despite the ruling’s unambiguous language, many large businesses and organisations have said they will not immediately be changing their policies for transgender individuals, at least not until they have received legal advice on its implications.

BBC: “Truckers erected a bouncy castle, and of course we know that other people who liked castles included the Nazis.”
BBC: The truckers’ horns – intended to symbolise white supremacy – sounded continuously throughout the night, targeting in particular transsexuals, the homeless and ethnic minorities.
BBC: Truckers horns linked to rise in heart attacks.
It’s Paracetamol actually, apparently.

Theres an ever increasing list. Any Canadian who had a headache, decided to clear their drive of snow and then had the misfortune of hearing a honk is definitely a gonner.
But not the deaf!
Sounding one’s horn is also clearly a misogynist hate crime.
Bloody typical of the beeb
Tripe, isn’t it? I suppose everyone else has access to earplugs, have they? Someone should mention this to the Sikh truckers – I bet they haven’t realised they’re ”White Supremacists”.
BBC – now just a comic criminal conspiracy against truth!
“Enemy occupied territory” So many sackings required!
You misspelled hangings.
Before the governmental and bureaucrat swamps can be drained, the corporate newsrooms are going to have to be purged. The press, sadly, is running a Narrative Protection Program and has been for years.
If we have citizens organizing this grassroots protest, we are also going to have to have many “citizen journalists” doing the job most MSM journalists will not do. Among other things, the protestors are somehow going to have to get around the “gatekeepers of the news.”
There are quite a few of those. But you have to go searching Odysee and Rumble for them. Quite a few on Yootoob though. And Rebel News is worth a look, especially with regard to Australia and NZ and their convoys.
A bouncy castle is of course a thinly veiled allusion to the Wewelsburg castle, Hitler’s favorite residence. In order to prevent such inappropriate signaling, the only reasonable solution is to ban manufacturers of bouncy castles altogether. Just think of the children!
Kudos to the Mail for such a positive piece. All eyes on Ottawa now. Will the authorities try to incite violence as they so often do? Power to the people
Who’d have predicted that nice compliant old Canada would be the society that drew the line in the sand.
Except that it isn’t Canada which is drawing the line in the sand. It’s their working class. Ordinary Canadians deserve no credit whatsoever. Our debt of gratitude is to the working class alone.
Marx said that parallel workers movements across national borders would develop where the workers’ functions had more in common than did their nationality, and that these guilds of workers would overthrow the individual nation states.
Truckers of the world unite eh?
Did Marx have much to say about forced ‘vaccination’ with genetically modified clot shots?
He didn’t need to, his ideology is the ideology of mass starvation.
The problem is that the state (in this case those running them) are quite (and deliberately so) separate from the nation.
Marx is the architect of lockdown, he was a totalitarian bag of shite.
The Canadians are being pushed by their government much harder than we’ve been. The restrictions there were much worse than here. This may be why they are standing up to be counted.
So bloody true.
Yes, totally agree with you. There’s still a lot of braindead Canadians including my family. You have school art teachers advocating for people to get guns and going to downtown Ottawa to get the protesters out of there.
Besides the truckers, another point of hope – based on what I’ve been seeing, I get the feeling that the police are generally with the truckers as opposed to the politicians. Let’s hope.
“..advocating for people to get guns and going to downtown Ottawa to get the protesters out,,,”
Jeez – what is the matter with these eff-wits? I’ve said all along that it’s the smug, work from home middle classes, the go along to get along, I’m all right, Jacks that have been complicit in all of the evil that has been done. I include my husband and most of my (now ex) friends in this category. I despite them all, stupid, selfish, brain dead morons that they are.
‘advocating for people to get guns’
The irony of an art teacher advocating for the use of firearms.
Absolutely WFH folks are in mass delusion. One the pandemic allows them to work from home so they have 0 incentive to end it.
On the other hand regular workers who were ordered in to work has nothing to gain to keep up this charade.
The behavioural psychopaths have been fiendishly clever, haven’t they?
Marxist Leftism in its current New World Order mutation is now a brain sickness.
I’ll take that.
“It’s their working class. Ordinary Canadians deserve no credit whatsoever. Our debt of gratitude is to the working class alone.”
Surely “working class Canadians” are “ordinary Canadians”, by definition, and vice versa?
Appealing to class differences is directly equivalent to appealing to race differences. It’s making use of generalisations in ways that can be useful, but also extremely dangerous. Especially if you use it to push down the road to either race-based or class-based socialism, or adhere to Marxist twaddle.
I agree with the gut of this statement, but die Sozialisten (this is a German term) still means nothing but a society (in the sense of organization) emphasizing sociality and solidarity (note the common stem) among its members. It predates Marxism which only became associated with socialism because majority of German socialists embraced Marxism at some point in time. And this has no relation with so-called national socialism which specifcally alluded to the original meaning of the term and stood in opposition of the new-fangled (at that time) internationalist Marxism of the former socialist leaders.
Reality is even more complicated: Said former socialists didn’t really embrace Marxism, that’s just something they did for show until 1914. Then, they sided – in direct violation of the principles of international solidarity of the working class – with the German powers who were (Kriegskredite). Finally, In 1918, they conspired with the 3rd OHL, specifically, Ludendorff, to get rid of the traditional German political order and install a loosely US-styled republic they ruled instead. After this had happened, the recruited so-called Freikorps of demobilized soldiers in order to crush the Marxist revolution which had taken place in Germany (Arbeiter- und Soldatenräte, with Räte being the German translation of soviet) in a bloody civil war.
Socialism is an English language term, and the German Nazis were socialist in the sense it is used in English honestly, rather than (as so often) self-servingly – subordination of the individual to the collective and enforced radical change upon society. They did so based on race rather than on social class, but that’s a distinction without a difference as far as the inherent group hatred is concerned.
There were plenty of superficial differences in terms of who was targeted, what political symbols, tactical alliances and manoeuvrings were used, but they are all mere window dressing in the end. The inherent nastiness was the same, as witnessed by the similarity in mass murderous outcomes.
When you have a plan to coopt or smash everything and build a supposedly better world and are demonising a group of people who supposedly stand in your way, it doesn’t matter if the group is jews, kulaks or bourgeoisie. Or “unvaccinated”, for that mattter.
They’ve also inspired the same in Canberra and Wellington (and other places). Not that the MSM will want to draw attention to the spread, so if ”all eyes are on Ottawa” that will take the eyes off the brutal police state of Australia. (See Avi Yemini of Rebel News.)
I support the brave Canadian truckers. No sane person would do what they are doing in such cold conditions without good cause.
It is odd to see people using left-right speak, when it is the totalitarian- libertarian-anarchist axis being questioned. Yes authoritarianism v.lighter govt. is political, strictly speaking, but it is not essentially left-right political, which explains why many left and right wing people are allied against deeply authoritarian/despotic governments at this time.
Nope. Authoritarian totalitarianism IS left wing. A far left figure is Hitler, a far right figure is Hunter Thompson. Individuals often claimed to represent far right dictators would include Franco and Pinochet, but they could be more properly be seen as kings, not leaders of distinct political movements. Franco in particular was a monarchist. And when those guys fell, so did the power systems. Authoritarian totalitarian governments – systems – have all been left wing.
Yeah, but that semantic battle has been lost.
The simple rule of thumb for the masses is:
Stalin, Mao = far left
Hitler, Mussolini = far right
Far left is bad but not as bad because socialists want to make the world better. The far left just used the wrong means for the right aims.
Far right is terrible. They just want to kill people of other races.
That battle is not lost here…. truth remains truth no matter what a dictionary might say.
Temporarily defeated, perhaps. Only lost if you give up on fighting it. Truth is kept alive by holding to it publicly.
And if you deny a core feature of human reality such as that expressed by the idea of leftism (“progressivism”) and those who resist it (“the right”), then you will never really understand reality.
“That semantic battle has been lost “- sadly true like all battles to control the discourse engaged by the Left to control their narrative. ‘.
Yes. Hitler vs Stalin is was more like far left vs far left.
A bit like Protestants vs Catholics, or Sunni vs Shia.
marxist state control by race based discrimination versus marxist state control by class based discrimination
marxistHitlerist state control by race based discrimination versus Marxist state control by class based discrimination.Two cheeks of the same socialist/leftist arse, to coin a phrase.
Franco, on the other hand, could legitimately be said to have been a “right wing”/conservative authoritarian tyrant. Spanish “fascism” profoundly different from German “fascism”.
A more sophisticated three dimensional model has many helpful features. One aspect is that it helps one not fall into the absurdity of identifying Piers Corbyn as right wing.
Franco and Pinochet were tinpot Military – style Fascists where Church the aristocracy the landowners the Banks the Haut Bourgeoisie and the Corporates connived with the Miltary and the state to screw the workers as they were terrified of Bolshevism and Revolution.
Hitler was different – he described his,”movement” as a “Revolution” – a combination of Socialism with technocracy militant militaristic Race based Nationalism and race theory -altogether a different animal far more in line with the average support of the the more nationalist minded Left. Hitler despised the old Hugenberg German Nationalist Party as being a bunch of ‘anti-revolutionary’ bourgeois windbags!
Thanks to Hitler, nobody wants to be called far right. Not even those on the right.
Far right = fascist = Hitler.
The left don’t have the same problem. If you consider yourself left wing politically, and someone calls you far left, it doesn’t have quite the same bite. You’ll consider it more of a mischaracterisation of your political views than a vicious attack – like you want to kill other people because they are the wrong race.
That’s why far right is used to discredit pretty much any form of protest that doesn’t have approval from the authorities. Nobody wants to be far right.
I do. I don’t care what they think. They’re either liars or idiots.
Possibly, except that people seem to forget that Stalin and Mao and Pol Pot managed to murder millions of their own citizens
Ah, but for the right reasons. They were pursuing equality between people, which apparently is a good thing. (Well, they weren’t but that was their schtick).
Hitler’s lot were just a sadistic bunch creating a master race.
I suppose to the nuanced thinker, they could both be seen to be pursuing the same thing – a sort of equal society. I guess they just differed on where to do the culling.
A better comparison is Hitler and Lenin; they were both ideologues. Stalin was an opportunist. To use my illustration above, he ruled more like a king.
Hitler was far more naked opportunist than ideologue serving only a narcissistic belief in his own unique, messianic vision.
A person can be both – see Dominic Cummings.
The issue here is the misleading idea of a “left/right” line.
Granted that’s a rather inevitable misunderstanding based on the historical use of the term left, which people tend to naturally assume means mean a similar but opposite right. In reality there is leftism (“progressivism”) and there are those who resist it (“the right”), but the latter has no meaningful platform beyond resisting leftism. It is basically another term for conservatism.
Clearly the term is problematic and misleading, but it’s the term we have, and most people have a pretty clear grasp of what we mean by it. Americans tend to use “liberal” for this, but that is also problematic imo because that has a different and important meaning of its own and the liberal/authoritarian axis (more appropriately termed thus, imo) is mostly separate from the left/right issue.
Another term often used is “progressive”, and progressive/conservative is a reasonable pair of terms. But that also has issues, because the whole idea of “progress” begs the question, and the term tends to build in a moral bias to the left.
There is no perfect solution, but denying the existence and indeed current dominance of the left merely takes us away from the truth.
Nah. The right is about the individual and individual limits and more importantly limits on government. I keep coming back to the idea of totalitarian government – lefties are ok with this because they see no principled limits to the extent of government. They think it is fine that a government decides you should not be allowed to burn logs cut on your own land. They think it is fine that a government should tell you not to eat sugar, or not to smoke, or should compel you to do business with people you don’t want to do business with. A right winger just wants government to fuck off, and leave them alone.
Thomas Sowell is the authority on this for me.
If you want to cement your disgust of the left, read pretty much any of his books – the Vision of the Anointed is brilliant.
Leftists think in terms of ideals, of how things should be and as you say couldn’t care less about costs because the goal is so important and noble that it should be pursued at any cost.
Rightists think more in terms of trade offs. Something is only worth pursuing if it’s better than the alternatives. That’s what makes them seem conservative. Because sometimes the best option is to do nothing.
No prize for guessing which of the two Sowell calls the anointed.
“Nah. The right is about the individual and individual limits and more importantly limits on government. “
No, that’s just one group of people who tend to be on the right because they inherently oppose the collectivist power required to push “progressivism”. But it doesn’t include many on the non-libertarian but not progressive right. Peter Hitchens, for instance is a conservative (small c, and whether he likes it or not) but not an individualist.
Authoritarian is the best term for sure.
But it’s a long word, doesn’t roll off the tongue and looks intellectual. So we end up with easier one or two syllable words that don’t meaning anything.
Except as pointed out, they do have meaning, and it’s a vital meaning to grasp, if you want to understand the world.
Speaking (however elliptically) of ‘progressive/conservative’, another bit of recent good news coming out of Canada was Pierre Poilievre formally announcing his intention yesterday to run against Trudeau at the next General Election, after the failure of the dismal Erin O’Toole.
Anyone interested in a truly forensic dissection of both policy and policy-makers – as opposed to the distinctly lacklustre performances of Sir Keir – would be well-advised to look up his many eviscerations of the Cosplay PM and his corrupt cadre.
In TWO languages, no less!
Saw the name yesterday, but as with the French chap who popped up to run for President I don’t know anything about him yet and have no idea how he will play out as a potential rallying point for resistance to the dominant leftists, if indeed he will do so at all.
Will be watching with interest.
How about being far freedom?
Or a freedom extremist?
Barry Goldwater/Karl Hess:
“Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.”
But the devil as usual is in the detail of how you define liberty, and justice, and what you count as extremism
All – or almost all – of the so-called “dangerous extremists” are indeed on the Right, at least per the authorized Narrative.
FWIW, what is really “extreme” about the demands of these truckers? These demands aren’t “radical” at all. Basically, they want to return to the Old Normal we had two years ago.
Despots always try to smear civilians demanding their freedom and human rights as “enemies of the state.” Trudeau is no different. Just another tinpot dictator whose time is up. The real scandal is that Trudeau’s lies are parroted unquestioningly by so-called “journalists.” Real journalists hold power to account but there don’t appear to be any working in the mainstream media anymore.
Here in Canada that is because they are all bought out by the government. They receive millions of dollars from the government and thus are basically the equivalent of Pravda.
Here in the UK too, for the most part, with a very few exceptions (in the early days Peter Hitchens and Toby Young were among a tiny number daring to speak up)
Bought out by Gates in fact. While Schwab ‘owns’ Trudeau.
Look at those fascists with their bouncy castles.
The violence, the inhumanity.
It makes you sick.
Good and bad from the Daily Mail. Their headline “the Mail’s reporter can only conclude these peaceful, good-natured protestors are 100% correct about that – if nothing else” tells it’s own story. They find it impossible to not acknowledge the good nature on display from the truckers, but also find it impossible to acknowledge the basic protest points around freedom and choice. It’s like MSM have never really understood genuine democracy (or under strict orders to now pretend they don’t understand) and have always had a hidden disdain for the common pleb. Another bunch who see themselves as superior and that only their twisted version of democracy (otherwise called fascism/communism – see little difference) is worthy.
The 10% good is just to distract you from the 90% bad to keep you reading!
This is the Daily Mail? Wow – a journalist with integrity.
In future there will be a new phrase “Trucking with the Government”. There should be solidarity because the Governments around the world are a load of truckers.
Good piece by the DM, but notice how they have not allowed comments on this one?
Controlled, mealy-mouthed, occasional, faux-opposition – just to keep readers on-side.
The Daily Heil are hardly likely to praise lorry drivers (“truckers”) in Britain, given that so many are non-British. They’re unlikely to praise Justin Trudeau either, given that for them he was born a garlic-eating surrender monkey.
Perhaps they will lament the absence of a “Canadian-style” trucker movement in Britain, the same way they adore the thought of an “Australian-style” points system for immigration.
It gets more obvious by the day that the Global Elites, their Corporate Allies and carefully placed stooges in Government and Administration round the world are now ‘at war’ with the Global Population – most especially those of the Western Democracies whose quaint ideas of “Magna Carta”, ‘Human Rights”, Freedom and ‘bodily autonomy’ stand in the way of their project.
We will now shortly face an attempt to bring down all Western Liberal democracies and replace them with a CCP-stye tyranny we see in operation at the Olympics with the intimidated and humiliated athletes. There is no future for Global Sporting events with these people and our Athletes ought not even to be there.
We know that Rohingya Muslims are being abused and ‘disappeared’ in Chinese Concentration Camps as we write. Media silence tells us where all the sold -out Media Corporates stand on the most basic Human Rights.
We await the Globalists. next desperate move to collapse the world financial system to save their fortunes from their own ruinous corruption and destruction of the Fiat currencies through money printing and so wreck the whole bases of human exchange and transactional interaction since time immemorial.
They need their insane, unworkable Digital Banking System to enslave the entire global population to their ‘Great Reset’ project ( not a “conspiracy theory” just a very real conspiracy!) in the most psychotic and insane madness ever devised by crazed pseudo- totalitarian rulers ever seen .
People need to finally wake up and at last read the ‘Great Reset’ by Klaus Schwab, where the whole project os outlined in black and white. It answers all those “why oh why?” questions so many still ask.
Oh, and beware their next ‘bioweapon’ viral ‘scamdemic” obviously in the pipeline.
On a Trudeau note, Schwab has said he “owns” the Canadian Government. Who could possibly have guessed?
Freedom Convoy: Pre-emptive press conference – before the police cut off comms and start kettling.
Absolutely superb presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6fBFdLGUZw
Thank you. These are serious, dignified people – and they are standing up for all of us. Immensely impressive.
Very powerful, recommend a watch of this.
Kiwis are following the Canadians’ lead now.
Were the UK trucks on the M25 yesterday?
The convoys in Australia and New Zealand are worth looking at. Rebel News has more on them, and there are Yootoob videos. And, of course, there are other convoys throughout Europe – but we’re not supposed to notice.
The cops are arresting those who are bringing fuel to support the truckers. In other words, they are trying to freeze the protestors out and break their lines of communication and solidarity with other parts of the population.
Perhaps people might consider doing something like “Switching on at Six” in support of the movement.
Meanwhile in Britain the “National Grid” tries to “ration” household electrical energy. I put “ration” in scare quotes because giving people a few pounds off their bills (money that will probably not actually reach them because it will go into the pockets of criminals, just like huge quantities “special Covid payments”) is not “rationing”.
Critics should take a careful look at this. The scheme is NOT what it says it is, but on the other hand its aim IS described truthfully as being about behavioural conditioning.
Get ready for major power cuts.
Get ready for inflation. Those who think annual output can fall by 10% in a country where personal debt and corporate debt are sky high without causing rampant inflation need to have their heads tested.
Get ready for war. A few points on Ukraine that aren’t being mentioned in the British MSM:
Best to hoard both fuel and food.
There won’t be war from the Russian side. There will be false flag cyber attacks, blamed on the russians, which will knock out power, finance and possibly the internet. The rumours of war will provide a plausible “villain” for the next act in this shabby pantomime.
100%!!
Did you know that Mr Putin is a graduate of the WEF young leaders programme?
So was Merkle, Macron, Trudeau, Arden, and many other lesser known politicians.
The WEF have been infiltrating Western democracies for years.
This is why complete bell ends like Macron and the Canadian black face get promoted into powerful positions with the full support of the MSM.
Flashback 2017: Klaus Schwab Admits WEF Penetration Into Governments & Cabinets The World Overhttps://www.bitchute.com/video/uDJFvScRhQwZ/
I find Klaus Schwab disgusting, not because I think he sets any kind of global agenda, but rather because I think he is the ultimate ‘fake it till you make it’ guy.
He’s devoted his life to creating this grotesque networking club called the World Economic Forum and uses his association with the people who go to Davos to make it look as if he’s there pulling strings like a puppet master.
He basically runs a conference centre. He’s Jeffrey Epstein, without the underage sex and extortion angle.
Putin is also ex KGB I believe.
If he was on the WEF young leaders program I suspect it was for entirely different reasons to the others.
Correct. It’s what drives international groupthink.
Mr Swab doesn’t want to hide it – he enjoys crowing about it. One thing he seems to have forgotten to include in his ‘schooling’ of these people, though, is the art of public speaking. Not one of them is adept at that – they all come across as shallow, posturing, arrogant placemen.
What is it to be far right?
1) You approve of free speech and expession.
2) You value bodily autonomy and medical freedom
3) You want small government that has strictly limited ability to force you to do things against your will.
4) You oppose the wars of aggression and the lies used to justify them.
5) You want the rule of law to apply to all people equally with those laws being kept to an absolute minimum.
5) You aren’t a big fan of importing millions of people into your homeland when those people like to conduct regular terror attacks and rape the indigenous children. You are in favour of immigration where the immigrants are a positive benefit to the existing population.
6) You adopt a live and let live philosophy.
Basically just like Hitler.
[Sarc]
Democracy. Notable by its absence.
Slinging “Far right” should just remind people that the Globalists are from the Extreme left and feel the desire to herd is less equals.
Politician declares that people who protest against his policies must be stopped, uses the mechanisms of the state to make this happen, and uses state control of the media to suppress information about what’s going on?
Sounds like a dystopian state to me.
That is the modern state.
Any form of protest that rises above a faint, solitary bleat is considered a selfish disruption of society.
But, hey, we are better than China, because they’re not even allowed a faint, solitary bleat.
It’s no joke. This is exactly what soft dictatorships are like, e.g.1980’s European communism, Spain under Franco from 1960 onwards. You could say anything you wanted and complain as much as you wanted…privately. You just couldn’t do any of those things publicly. And certainly any whiff that you are trying to organise something and they’d be on you like a rash, declaring you an enemy of the state.
And all this on the back of an illness that 99.75%+ of ALL those who catch it – SURVIVE.
And this information was clearly available from the start of all this. Those of us who watched those figures could see that we were being played. The others just watched the BBC.

I forgot to add this link to my earlier comment re possible proof of the trashing of your immune system post jab.
For almost 2 years now I have only dipped into MSM news reports to scroll through to the comments and gauge the general publics response to the pandemic. On occasion, such as the ‘Kent’ Variant (remember that?!) it was wholly depressing with many people asking why the government doesn’t lockdown earlier and harder. Tragic. However, today I thought it might be safe to dip my toe back into the MSM drivel and tried out CBC.ca. Wow. Just wow. They are still carrying on as if Ebola, the Whooping cough and the Plague have mixed together and are stalking the land. You can’t possibly poll for public opinion or have a sensible policy with so much brainwashing and nudging going on for 2 years. Shameful way government have treated their citizens.

If anyone should be arrested for a hate crime it is Trudeau and most other world leaders. The hate they have shown to ordinary members of the public over the past couple of years is off the scale.
The political elite and their media propagandists despise the protesters because the truckers and their supporters are well behaved, persistent, intelligent and articulate.
Stop the press: A fair story that presents realities observed by reporters on the ground and reports quotes from actual truckers.
I think most people who are paying attention to this story (enough people are not) realize that the corporate press is in bed with the State and enthusiastically supports these liberty-killing mandates.
I hope the truckers expand their demands to drop the mandates for EVERYONE. I also hope they keep bringing attention to these Big Brother “vaccine passports” and make sure we get rid of these too.
Thanks for keeping this story on Page 1. It is clear the Powers that Be want to nip this protest in the bud … and why they feel they must do this. They are afraid this protest could spread around the world, which would jeopardize all of their nefarious agendas.
I might be wrong, but I believe this Canadian Trucker protest – if successful – is the best chance the world has to defeat not only the myriad Covid tyrannies, but all kinds of other nefarious Big Brother type agendas that are being planned for the world.
I think this could be a pivotal battle to “protect” freedom and personal liberties. Of course the State and all its many corrupt partners and allies are going to do everything in their considerable power to defeat this protest. If they lose, they might lose all their power and all their control. They fully understand that the stakes couldn’t be higher. And these people don’t fight fair.
Don’t hold your breath…….
Agreed. It is already having an impact around the world. As much as the MSM and big tech would like to just ignore it and let it fade into obscurity, it’s grown too big to ignore. So instead there has been an attempt to discredit it, but there are at least a few independent journalists providing first hand reports and videos that are providing a fairer picture of what is going on.
Of course, the MSM is ignoring the big convoys in Australia and New Zealand, as well as other countries in Europe. See Rebel News – they have their own reporters – and videos on Yootoob.
These smears by left-wing politicians are extremely predictable.
Just as it is extremely predictable that right-wingers will use the protests to try and recruit new members into their ranks.
But of course the same holds true for any sort of opposition party – there will always be attempts to opportunistically “convert” pissed off people to whatever cause an opposition leader is trying to push for own benefit.
The solution in a democratic country is never to suppress protests, nor to continuously paint the opposition as the devil or keep harassing them. The solution is to simply stop giving people reasons to become pissed off and convert to the “dark side” (which can be extreme left or extreme right, depending on who is in power).
Yet the reality is that extremist left-wingers depend on extremist right-wing opposition to further their own political goals and vice versa. That is why they love provoking the other side, so as to be able to retaliate. Because if there was no conflict and no fake straw man to attack, the popular anger may just as well turn against themselves.
The best thing that a reasonable person can do is not to fall for any of this manufactured bs and simply represent their own interests without entering any dubious alliances. Which I’m pretty sure is what most of the truckers are doing.
Define ‘extreme right’ please, being that extreme left would be socialism spilling into communism.
Extreme right would be “it’s ok to shoot immigrants. blacks and people from Israel”.
P.S. And also those accused of “socialism”, I forgot.
This is an incredibly powerful protest. In spite of the attempt by the politicians and their allies in big tech and the MSM to ignore or distort this story, it is gaining traction all over the world. If the truckers can stay strong and stick it out in Ottawa, that will strike fear into the hearts of tyrants everywhere, and they will be forced to start dismantling the covid mandates. To save face, they will have some reason other than they are afraid of a trucker protest coming to their town, but they will do it nonetheless.
Surely antifa is a ‘far right’ extremist group…….
Nothing “Anti” about them, they are simply “Fa”
The truckers didn’t “lash-out” they politely and calmly told the authorities that they were full of the proverbial.
They have swung public opinion in favor of ending all restrictions, yesterday it stood at 54% and rising, a swing of 15% in under a week. they have the hearts and minds of a majority of Canadians, there will always be a minority of counter opinions, however, even then living in a climate that at times can kill you in minutes without the right clothes forms bonds that are not easily broken, and creates a willingness to listen to differing opinions.
At the moment in Canada all levels of government have completely lost the plot and are spinning in circles chasing their own tails. They look more and more foolish with every passing day.
Trudeau is a political dead man walking, he just doesn’t have the intellectual capacity to comprehend it.
He’s a despicable, immoral and extremely divisive individual, he’s just like his father was, (whichever story you believe about who’s genes he carries). He is simply a mouthpiece for some rather nasty power brokers.
In other words he’s toast, we just need to decide how well done we want our toast and should we turn it into a slice of grilled cheese under the broiler.
Well said! I try not to watch him speaking – it’s embarrassing. That someone so effete and gormless should be the head of such a country defies belief. But then it depends on what qualities placemen are required to have – a sense of their own importance and an ability to follow orders, I suppose.
Mark Steyn on GB News tonight was well worth watching. He and another journalist from Canada really exposed (excuse pun) the naked hostility of Trudeau and the leader of the NDP towards these Truckers and their supporters.
Various doctors say families of loved ones hospitalized with covid19 are resorting to desperate measures when approved treatments(slow death protocols) have failed. When it’s not too late, some have seen tremendous success by sneaking Ivermectin medication prohibited by hospitals to patients. It is really sad situation what has our country become.

You can also get it much, much cheaper from India. The last batch I bought was enough to cure 100 people of covid for £103.56 including postage. That is 10*12mg tabs taken 2 tabs per day. A covid cure for £1.04 per person!
There are other supplements that help, of course: Vit D, Quercetion, Ionised Zinc etc. See bird-group.org for FLCCC protocols.
Oh dear. You’re undermining his marketing campaign!
Thanks for that I wondered what the dosage regime was
Canadian Truckers: one CT number that becomes more meaningful the more you increase it.
Look at the incendiary Guardian headline today – 5G and QAnon: how conspiracy theorists steered Canada’s anti-vaccine
trucker protest. Ottawa’s occupation was a result of unrivaled coordination between anti-vax and anti-government organizations
The Grauniad obviously doesn’t want anyone to recognise that it’s not an ”anti-vaccine trucker protest”. Don’t they spout some utter tosh?
”Another weekend of unrest….” When was the other one, then?
Of course they are the true working class, something Trudeau, who belongs to the elite liberal Chardonnay socialist class can’t relate too. His pals are say, oh, Tony Blair maybe. I have no trouble relating to them, warts and all they may have. I was born working class and will never be anything else.
Here in NZ our govt of woke liberals have called our protestors “not real NZers”. Well, since the country has been locked down they must be! They have also tried to point out the odd Trump flag or right wing group involved. An old govt tactic used by right or left – smear dirt and divide to try and confuse the message. But it’s starting to look like a fraud, slowly, even here as more grow disenchanted every day.
And your convoy protests are impressive now!
My sister lives in Canada and we visited in 2005.
I found the people remarkably friendly which is why it disappoints me to see the country become a fascist state led by one of the most infandous politicians in the world – a bully and a coward.
It is also upsetting to note that the Canadian police have become the government’s storm troopers.
However, this protest appears to have woken up Canadians with masks and vaccine passports etc. now being totally ignored. Some provincial leaders are also scrapping the Covid nonsense.
We now need to see similar protests in Great Britain.
