@dhenderson1810 "Then get prepared to do with very little as most places you can only use card." Apart from online shopping/payments, I've not (yet) encountered very many that won't accept cash.

@hannesRSA "nice isolated examples.." You miss the point. Nobody is claiming that this is widespread. The concern is that it will become more common. These isolated examples show that the concern is real. "the truckers for example were a small number of people infringing on the freedoms of many who wanted to go to work, and were breaking the law. Simple." No, not so simple. First, the "law" was a draconian decision by a tyrannical government. Second, if they were breaking the law, the proper approach is to arrest them, take them to court, and impose a sentence of community service, fine, and/or jail. I'm quite sure that cancelling their bank accounts is not specified in the legal code as an appropriate sentence for breaking the law.

@Pyjamarama11 " awww poor lamb did you have a nasty time on the grog once" No. I just know that alcohol is a dangerous drug that does a lot of harm in the community.

@Georgina-l4p "No on is disabling your bank account because this isn't China." Nigel Farage (England, not China) had his bank account cancelled because they didn't like his views. The point is, it doesn't have to be China any more.

Except that a pub without beer (with its poisonous, addictive depressant known as alcohol) is a good thing.
