I can honestly say I detest him, but no I would never stop him having a view, even though he is complete liar and manipulator. Very noble. But would you be prepared to allow your income to take a hit for his political views? The law is a compromise between capitalism and the right to hold a political viewpoint. Everyone is expected to accommodate everyone else's political viewpoint UNTIL that political viewpoint starts to cost the other party money. How does that happen, especially in this case where it was NatWest who revealed that they were the bank in question. Farage had refused to identify which bank had closed his accounts. |

Neither is victim claiming. Being debanked does not make you a victim? - easy to say when you are not one of the thousands that this has happened to. Now Gina Miller is a victim of being debanked the lefties will start changing their tune. |

Various ways, I imagine. Farage might tell friends who tell other people. Soon, it's well known in certain circles. |

I don't like her politics, but she's entitled to have them, and she's entitled to a bank account, people of all political views should be protesting, since when do banks play politics. |

But who knew? - the disclosure that Farage banked with NatWest was not made until after he was kicked out. |

More than one way to skin a cat, no offence to Montes cat. Head and feet off first and then peel it off like a coat is the best way though. |

Coutts saw a risk. And who could blame them? Where's the problem? Do you want them to lose money because of the manfrog's political views? It's easy to understand why the law might forbid a bank to disassociate from someone simply for their political views; it's another thing to expect the bank to suffer a financial loss for someone else's political views. |
