Coutts is worth 34Bn So I think they'll survive. And ofcourse bounce back. Yes and me, you and our family friends and neighbours have a 38.6% stake of that 34Bn. How do I get the cash? |

Now where were we, before being spammed by Tony Blair, oh yes that's right the Farage is on a mission. Photo bombed.  |

And ofcourse bounce back. coutts may very well survive , but respected journalists like andrew neil are calling this banking groups decision to debank farage a massive error in judgement of disasterous proportions as evidence by two ceos standing down and the banks massive reputational damage.
you arguments wither one by one zany throughout this thread, where we have went from a miserable attempt to jutisify farages debanking to now bleating coutts might just survive their self inflicted damage as though thats some sort of badge of honour.
Naah they'll bounce back. Its nothing to do with the frog, its two top execs resigning. Everyone puts a hold on buying their shares so they fall. But its not real money and they'll recover as soon as they have new people in place. |

Apologies if anyone’s asked this before, but did this whole idea of banks acting as guardians of nation security start with the banks?
My view it’s probably a government inspired activity to farm out money laundering and illegal funds transferring to third party players (eg, banks and financial institutions), and the security services were happy to go along with it as no court oders would be required.
Like Saddam, believing the authorities gave them special clearance to go beyond the intended actions, bank employees went overboard.
Now’s the time to stamp on these attitudes — shame it wasn’t highlighted some years ago….

Dear old Coutts granny who gets duped into handing over her £3.6 million life savings to a fraudster will instantly be compensated and refunded.
Dear old NatWest granny who's had her pension and life savings of £30,000 robbed, will have to contact the FCA, the FOS, Martin Lewis and anyone else who'll listen to her hard luck story, so you see Coutts does have a slight advantage over your riff-raff high street banks, and good luck to the old dear.

I’m thinking it’s lazy establishment attitudes — the Police managers now appear to decide which cases are likely to be too hard to investigate. So they only progress cases that look easy enough to get a result, or have received wide publicity. If they don’t fit those categories, cases are likely to be marked closed… |

I doubt it. It's an intrinsically corrupt / corruptible process I think you would have to be a bit mentally deficient not to see the problem. Sounds like you're having second thoughts about Singapore-on-Thames, Mags. If you're not careful, you'll be telling us that regulation is a good thing next. Once again - we don't have free market banking in the UK. |

Once again - we don't have free market banking in the UK. No. But part of the Brexit plan was to create a Singapore-on-Thames. The plan was to free the UK from bureaucracy. At least, it was the plan. Turns out, the whole thing was about making life more convenient for the manfrog. |

Welcome aboard, Zany. Comrade Monte and I have been telling them that for a week now. They don't care. They can understand why Bud Light might drop a transgender woman from their advertising campaign because to continue would be harmful to their brand, but they're incapable of understanding why Coutts might feel that way about a 'disingenuous grifter'. So what damage is Farage going to do to the Coutts brand, considering they have some of the most unsavoury customers there is. The only difference Farage has let it be known he was a Coutts customer, I bet our jaws would drop if we knew who else had accounts with them.
Well, if they have some of the most unsavoury customers there is (as you say), that pretty much proves they don't give a shit about their customers' politics, doesn't it? |
