Hmm. I'm of the opinion that a PERSON should be entitled to a minimum of a basic bank account. As pointed out, trying to function in the UK without one is impossible. I wouldn't apply the same principal to business accounts.
However, from what I've read, it appears that that the banks are enacting anti money laundering processes, which they are obliged to do. Farage is trying to make out that it's because he supported Brexit and it's some remainer plot to get rid of him. No evidence to suggest this at all, but the paranoid Brexiteers are lapping it up here as some form of conspiracy.

Too subtle a joke for you eh Thomas? I actually wrote out a cheque quite recently to pay back a loan from a family member. Because it was over a grand the bank refused to pay it twice and I had to go to the trouble of making a bank transfer. I got the joke monte , im just surprised anyone is still talking about cheques. They are almost obsolete now . Much like Nigel hence his attempt to thrust himself into the limelight once again. |

Unless you have proof of wrong doing by Farage, and not slander, then I see no reason to believe this isn't just another case of shut down. |

This isnt about consumer rights. this is about attacking someone due to their political position. The uk is perfectly capable of protecting and enhancing consumer rights in or out of the european union. Nothing more than a false argument , and does you no favours laughing at farage over this. It will backfire spectacularly on remainers , and once again turn farage into a martyr and hero.
Yes, this is attacking someone because of their political position. It is wrong. No doubt about that. I favour a system of rules that protects consumers against discrimination for their political views. The way that has been done in other countries is through the contractual doctrine of good faith. The EU has introduced some good faith into UK contract law, but it doesn't cover this situation. It is currently drawing up a Europe wide law of contract that will protect people in Farage's position from having their accounts closed for simply having a political viewpoint that the other contracting party finds unacceptable. So, just to be clear: I am very much against what happened to Farage. But if someone had to take a bullet to highlight a flaw in the current law of contract, I'm very happy that it was Farage. |

He believed in God, though. That's like the new gay. |

Final time this is about individual rights not Farage. It's about individual rights for sure. But pointing out that Farage has walked away from an organisation that wants to protect him from what happened to him is worth mentioning, don't you think? |

My point stands, and I rely on others to draw their own conclusions. I am not an authority on here and I do not believe that your attempt to take the thread off-topic undermines my arguments, even if you may want them buried in a mountain of pointless posts that follow. You didn't make an argument you insulted another poster. "A little helper has arrived, and one that has no idea about the ideals behind libertarianism" Is not an argument, its an insult. Well I have just reported it for being such if no one else will. There will be much like this that the mods won't see unless it is reported. If we don't want the mind zone to be allowed to degenerate into yet another mindless zone, we need to proactively report. And if I break the rules here, instead of my critics moaning about it, they should report me. |

For the record, my post didn't insult anyone, so I can only conclude that they're telling lies collectively as part of their routine.

You have a point Steve but mind zone rules don’t apply in this section Empty posts which contain nothing but insults will be removed from all sections of the board. This was one of the ''new guidelines'' agreed upon recently. |

Well if true it’s on money laundering grounds it should be dealt with in the way it has been previously (this link I posted earlier in the thread) www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60623026 |

But I have a suspicious mind when it comes to the doings of the deep state so I would not rule out their involvement entirely without knowing more details about exactly what has been done to Farage and why. |
