A new Conservative campaign group set up to ‘cancel cancel culture’ has caused quite a stir on social media.

According to their official website, Britain Uncancelled was launched in October and is “opposed to cancel culture in all forms”, which is “breeding fear and paranoia in our workplaces, politics” and even “at our children’s schools and in our homes”.

Esther McVey, former work and pensions secretary, is one of the campaign’s supporters, along withMansfield MP Ben Bradley and Bassetlaw MP Brendan Clarke-Smith.

People can go to their website and support their pledge, making a commitment to “end cancel culture”, “protect free speech” and “promote the British values of mutual respect, fairness, open-mindedness and tolerance”.

You can also sign up to produce creative content, host fundraisers or register your interest in buying a t-shirt with the word “uncancelled” on the front, to truly “look the part”.

Needless to say, the reaction on Twitter has been largely one of ridicule.

Here’s what people have had to say:

I mean, you lot are literally in power and have got your own way over Brexit and plenty of other stuff so I wouldn’t be bellyaching about ‘cancel culture’ TBH. You should concern yourself more with your active role in propping up the worst government in modern history.

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.
