What we’re about
Welcome to “Cancelling Cancel Culture.” This will be a Meetup group for those of us who are worn out by "wokeness" and the rapid rise of a new anti-scientific and anti-common sense orthodoxy. Until recently we were the Jordan Peterson Meetup Group, and of course JP himself was almost cancelled by his university colleagues, not because he was bad at his job, but because he held the “wrong opinions” and spoke out against enforced speech laws in Canada.
Have you yourself been cancelled or shut down because of your views, or have you found yourself censoring your own speech to avoid conflict, even with friends and family? …and not extreme views, but widely held and perfectly acceptable views until very recently? Do you hear news stories like how 4-year-olds in Scotland can now self-identify as a different gender, and wonder if you are in an episode of "The Twilight Zone" or have woken up in an alternate reality? Have you been asked to give your personal pronouns and found yourself squirming? Are you old enough to remember when there were only two genders? (By the way, this is not to demean anyone who is struggling with gender dysphoria).
We are not anti-anyone… we are Pro-Science, Pro-Truth, Pro-Common Sense! We want everyone to live their best life… but that doesn’t mean we have to abandon free speech and free thought.
Our goals:
To be an open forum to discuss ways of fighting back and reclaiming freedom of speech and freedom of thought.
To meet like-minded folk and make new friends.
To end the fear of speaking your mind.
Please join us and come speak your mind without fear of being cancelled!

Asylum Seekers, Hotels, Protests, and the Role of NEW Media
The Briton's Protection, 50 Great Bridgewater St, Manchester, GBDuring the summer of 2025, concerned parents and citizens across the country began protesting outside hotels that housed asylum seekers.
For our January 2026 meetup, we will be welcoming guest speaker Jack Hadfield. Jack is an independent journalist and GB News commentator. He has 10 years of experience in new media, and has recently focused on live, on the ground coverage of protests, including the Southport riots and the asylum hotel protests of 2025.
Movements like the Pink Ladies, designed to protect women and girls, sprung out of them. The prominence of the protests was amplified heavily by the presence of New Media entities at these events instead of established media like the BBC. Independent journalist Jack Hadfield was on the ground for many of these protests, and will talk about the protests themselves, along with how New Media plays a part in the future of how we receive our news. He has almost 40K followers on X @JackHadders, and his other social media can be found on his website www.jackhadfield.co.uk
Join CCC Manchester for stimulating and fresh conversation and debate. We’re a friendly, welcoming bunch, and many folks even choose to stay well past 4pm to continue the discussion! Grab a drink at the bar and come upstairs for some lively, open and honest chat. All good faith opinions are welcomed and respected. We don't charge for our events but we do ask for a small cash donation to help pay for expenses.26 attendees
