Be interesting to see what he would change... Probably make it illegal to close accounts for non-banking reasons and make them state the reasons. For example: 1) Insufficient funds - closure/suspension okay. 2) Suspicion of fraud - closure/suspension okay (pending independent investigation) Disliking your politics - closure/suspension not okay. It's just common sense. I wonder why it hasn't bothered him before, he's been involved in finance for a very long time. Like many things, until it happens to you you don't realise it's a thing or perhaps the sheer scale of the problem. I mean, until now I didn't realise that my bank could no-platform me for no apparent reason either. Scary. One reason the government made the BoE independent, I suspect if they hadn't they wouldn't have been able to put up interest rates 13 times in a row same with the energy companies, and the non-existent regulators who are funded by the very organizations they are supposed to be regulating is just a farce. |

Because you have to find Nigel Farage in the wrong, you find yourself stuck and unable to integrate the fact that he is in the right. So, you grasp upon the fact that he only started to be right at some point and so before that point he must have been in the wrong. Order is restored to your mind. Not an argument you would use if the shoe was on the other foot. Contrary to you my interest in this thread (right from the start) was the sheer number of people who are de-banked each year. That so many people myself included have had the banks pick on us when we were vulnerable and seize our assets, charge us unfair fees with impunity. I am relatively wealthy now but I don't trust the banks at all and I find it hypocritical that the interest in the banks bad behaviour revolves around Nigel Farage having his account closed with no financial cost to him (As far as we know) When I have seen Nat West badly advise a hotel owner, lend them money, suddenly pull the loan and force the sale of the hotel to one of their own subsidiaries for a snip. I've been calling for a national bank in the UK for years. So forgive me if I see this knew disgust in the banks because of Farage for what it is. |

Be interesting to see what he would change... Ah yes banks for the rich. Got enough money can't have your account closed. Sadly I'm sure that's all Farage is interested in. I wonder why it hasn't bothered him before, he's been involved in finance for a very long time. Like many things, until it happens to you you don't realise it's a thing or perhaps the sheer scale of the problem. I mean, until now I didn't realise that my bank could no-platform me for no apparent reason either. Scary. See above. |

You were using the sheer number of people debanked every year to justify farages debanking as the norm , rather than any concern for the individuals debanked , or how wrong the practice was. In fact you justified it by attempting to argue the banks can do what they like .

Interesting turn of events. A decade or so back we had Lefties going on anti-capitalist marches, after 2008 we had more of the same along with anti-globalism taking to the streets protesting against the 1%.
Today, a bank unfurls a big rainbow banner outside its bank, is economically orientated by remainer group-think and low growth initiatives, and the Left now love banks!

The banks amongst others have been told to go all out Woke, I don't know why the penny hasn't dropped yet, but all those who go Woke do go broke, unless they consider £600,000,000 a drop in the ocean. |

Yep, the woke left have sold out to corporate greed. But then they've long been infiltrated by establishment shills. Useful Idiots.😉 |

It’s a funny ol’ world, isn’t it, Doc? If UK law had a developed duty of good faith, contractual actors wouldn’t be able to terminate for any reason. It wasn’t so long ago that you were arguing that that UK law shouldn’t have a duty of good faith. Now, you appear to have changed your mind, and all because your chinless prophet is suffering the effects.  News to me - is this more of your vivid imagination getting the better of you? No. |

Here is you first five posts in this thread in ascending order: I know in your fourth quote you said you never lie. I see no concern for the sheer number of people who are de-banked each year. The problem for you is, it's all there in print. |
