The United Kingdom is now becoming an intensely intolerant country, the leader of a charity warned when its bank cancelled its account under pressure from the LGBT community. The shocking case sheds light on how strong the liberal influence is in each sector and how they are trying to make it impossible for conservative individuals to work. Several examples from the past few weeks show that those who voice their conservative opinions are exposed to different forms of backlash such as the termination of their bank acounts or dismissal from their jobs.

Barclays Bank will terminate from September the bank account of the Core Issues Trust (CIT), a Christian charity in Northern Ireland, after a social media campaign was launched against them, CIT CEO Mike Davidson said. CIT claimed that the move came after pressure from an LGBT social media campaign that targeted the group for allegedly practising „conversion therapy,” Breitbart reports.

„If a social media mob can cause a bank to close the account of a Christian ministry, then there is nowhere for Biblically faithful Christian ministries to go. … The UK is now becoming an intensely intolerant country,” Mike Davidson stated. The charity also said that they were removed from Facebook, as well as from Paypal, who terminated its CIT accounts without warning and with no explanation, restricting the ability of supporters to make donations.

The shocking case also highlights how strong the influence of leftist-liberal opinion leaders in all areas of life is and how they can further increase that with the help of social media.

Facebook has been subject to much criticism in recent years for censoring the views of US Republican MPs and blocking their ads, influencing the 2016 US election campaign. In the UK, Facebook also severely restricted freedom of expression by blocking posts and videos from Milo Yiannopoulos, former editor-in-chief of Breitbart News, and political commentators Laura Loomer and Paul Joseph Watson. Yiannopoulos, Loomer, and Watson s sin  was that they criticised Islamic radicalism, exaggerated feminism, ecological fear-mongering and political correctness, that is, they confronted the liberal principles followed by Facebook s leaders.

However, the censorship of opinions is not only strong on social media sites. Some people have been outright dismissed from their jobs for daring to express their conservative opinions.

43-year-old Kristie Higgs, a devout Christian school assistant in Britain was sacked from her job because she started a petition against teaching transgender topics in primary schools. According to the charges, Higgs voiced „homophobic and prejudiced” views.

A university professor and anthropologist was fired, because in her opinion, biological genders do exist and are important. Because of her various gender-critical statements, students felt she did not provide a safe environment for them, which they reported to the management.

A British doctor was pilloried for his Christian beliefs and views on live TV. Dr David Mackereth claims he was dismissed from his new job for saying his Christian faith would prevent him from calling a 180-centimetre bearded man madam.  Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan called Mackereth a bigot.

In Canada, a zoology professor at the University of Victoria was sacked because, in contrast to the claims of the climate change movement, she said the planet s polar bear population is not plummeting but thriving, and that the animals alleged starvation has nothing to do with global warming, it is just „junk science” and green „fake news.”

Lately, people may become targets of harsh attacks not only because of their views on gender ideology or climate change, but also because they disagree with the radical, destructive actions of the Black Lives Matter movement.

After 20 years of working at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Gary Garrels, a senior curator, had to leave because he said one sentence that was judged racist. In the wake of the BLM movement, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art issued a long statement confirming its support for social justice and announcing that the museum will employ a Director of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging from the end of June.

Senior curator Gary Garrels confirmed at a press conference that he will seek to find even more black artists and artists of colour and exhibit their artwork at the Museum of Modern Art. However, he added that it was impossible to completely shun white artists, because this would constitute „reverse discrimination.” The statement infuriated radical opinion leaders and „reverse discrimination” was described as a „white supremacist and racist” term, and an online petition was launched demanding the curator s removal.

Patricia Simon, a professor at Mary Mount Manhattan College, committed the crime of  falling asleep at a Zoom conference on the subject of anti-racism, leading some to conclude that she was racist. The professor, on the other hand, claims that she did not fall sleep, she was just resting her „Zoom-weary eyes,” and the image taken from the video session was used without her permission.

Liberals have levelled accusations against the press too. Several journalists and editors have come under fire in recent months.

The news of the resignation of James Bennet, the editorial page editor of the New York Times came in early June, followed by the news of Jim Dao, deputy editorial page editor, being reassigned to a position in the newsroom and Katie Kingsbury, being appointed to serve as acting editorial page editor.

James Bennet had to leave after controversy over publishing an opinion piece by Tom Cotton, a Republican senator from the state of Arkansas, on the series of demonstrations sweeping across the United States. In the op-ed article Send In the Troops, Cotton called for cracking down on violent protesters, even by deploying the US army.

The top editor of the US newspaper Philadelphia Inquirer was forced to resign over a controversial headline. „Buildings Matter, Too” was the headline of an article on architecture that cost Stan Wischnowski his job. The author of the article wrote, among other issues, that violent radicals infiltrating the protests, partly organised by Black Lives Matter, set fire to shops and damaged buildings, including heritage-listed architecture. The „riff” on Black Lives Matter prompted protest from the African-American staff of the newspaper. Wischnowski worked for the Inquirer for 20 years.
