Farage anti-cancel culture conference gets cancelled

According to the Spectator, just 400 tickets at the 3,000 capacity Indigo venue had been shifted when the event was pulled.

An anti-cancel culture conference featuring Nigel Farage, Laurence Fox and former Donald Trump aide Jason Miller has been cancelled, much to the bemusement of people on social media.

The so-called ‘Counter Conference’ was planned to take place at the O2’s 3,000 capacity Indigo venue next week in association with Miller’s right-wing Twitter alternative GETTR.

But organisers pulled the plug on Tuesday night, blaming new Covid border rules which require self-isolation on arrival in the UK.

A spokesperson for GETTR said the new rules would make “scheduling travel to the conference impossible for many of the conference’s confirmed speakers and participants.”

But the Spectator reported tickets for the event had sold slowly, which organisers blamed on the venue requiring vaccine or test certificates be shown on entry.

It’s claimed just 400 tickets had been shifted when the event was pulled.

Organisers said in a statement: “Due to the UK’s newly-mandated travel restrictions, we regret to announce that the Counter Conference event that was to be held on the 8th December at Indigo at The O2 has been cancelled.”

Before its cancellation, the event was billed as “a day of hotly-anticipated panels and keynote speeches on free speech topics, Counter Conference will be a celebration of the intellectual rebellion against the status quo.”

It comes on the back of a Nigel Farage interview with Donald Trump that aired on GB News.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
