Now Gina Miller is a victim of being debanked the lefties will start changing their tune. 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. I'm happy for her. She's about to become a squillionaire! |

But he did - so where was the cost to NatWest The banks are allowed to terminate if there is a risk of reputational damage. 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. Nonsense so the only people who can have bank accounts are those without political preferences, if the banks want to ban customers because of their political views then they should ban everyone, why are they being selective which political preferences they want to cancel, that's discrimination by definition. |

I'm happy for her. She's about to become a squillionaire! Maybe even a double squillionaire since she was on the right side of Brexit. |

After the referendum another matter. She was on the losing side after the referendum, but that's water under the bridge. She's now been de banked, she's the victim of an injustice. Therefore I stand with her. |

LOL - you are stretching a bit there. Farage never publicised his bank accounts so there was no risk - in fact nobody knew he had a Coutts account until they told the world. So there was no actual financial loss or even any danger of one - want to try another excuse? |

Erm ... there was nothing stopping Farage revealing the fact and its becoming a matter of public knowledge. Or at least something that is known within the circle of the specific clientele Coutts is trying to attract. This is capitalism, Doc. Nobody ever said it was perfect. You're allowed to protect your commercial interests. |

I believe her case is different. Her bank doesn't take account for political parties and when it was initially opened it wasn't declared as a political party in the application. Farage was singled personally in a 40 page dodgy dossier where the 'evidence' for his character assassination came from odd-ball remainer websites, and left-leaning misfits. No facts, just smear. |

The manfrog is perceived to be a disingenuous grifter because he lied about Turkey imminently joining the EU and was a Putin enabler. Those are facts. Not smear. |

Oh, I almost forgot - he also stole some ideas from Goebbels.

You will be hard pressed to find Coutts claiming they closed his account due to Turkey joining the EU. His prophecies were no different to what remainers were telling us the UK was in for if it had the temerity to leave the EU. So, in other words, stop lying and doubling down on your many pivots. Your scattergun approach in defending Coutts is as embarrassing as Coutts' mis-management of this saga. |

Right, so after a hundred and something pages, can I summarise :
Nigel is going to be PM
Gina Miller is going to be deputy
Everyone should be entitled to a Coutts account.
Is that about right?

It isn't about entitlement, it's about fulfilling the criteria to do business. While it's very obvious that the left wing of the forum support the debanking of those who do not vote Labour, this isn't really the criteria to do business. This is why NatWest is in trouble. Who would want their money tied up in a Stalinist political institution like NatWest?
