Be proud, be bold, be you - unless your name is Nigel Farage.  Or Martin Luther King, Alan Turing, Etc. People have always been victimised for their views. What you're really saying is not enough people are willing to trust Nigel. Well now I wonder why. When you type "what you are really saying" the next words come from your imagination, Zany. I usually post what I mean to say, although I admit I am not the most eloquent writer, and sometimes need to rephrase, qualify or explain. This was not one of those occasions. |

These days a bank account is necessary to survive, without one you cant be paid, or pay bills you become a nonperson. A bank account should be considered a 'human right'. The government should, indeed must, legislate to stop banks who are far too focused on a woke agenda, debanking people they disagree with. Didn’t Nigel gave to backtrack at one point and admit it wasn’t a oersonal account, but a business account, that got closed (hint: go back to when the ‘story’ broke: he said that very thing) Very little of this whole business has been the subject of a full and frank disclosure on either side. It was both, his personal account and his business account, and three members of his family had their accounts closed too. In a telecon in which Farage informed Coutts he was going on live TV in ten minutes time to talk about this, Coutts suddenly offered him a personal account with NatWest but refused him a business account. Farage quite rightly declined their less than generous offer. As you may know, Farage now has proof that Coutts closed his accounts for no other reason that they didn't like his politics. And now the government are involved, the FCA are involved and the treasury are involved. This is turning into the biggest PR disaster in the banks history and far more clued up people than me are predicting that heads will roll at Coutts and Farage will sue. |

I apologise, it was not my intention to put words in your mouth. I was trying to short cut to the point as I see it. My method didn't work well, sorry. I meant; If Nigel Farage was a trusted and honest man even those who disagree with his politics would be supporting him in this. But he has a reputation of dishonesty and manipulation of facts, so we take what he says with a pinch of salt. |

The Labour liars won't like this: Coutts row risks UK having China-style social credit systemThey will literally starve you if you do not align yourself to their Orwellian authority.
EDIT: I should really respond to Zany, but he'll probably accuse me of "ghosting" him before he reports me.

Mealy mouthed people would quite happily support a large organisation punishing their political opponents, whether he was honest or not. |

Considering recent revelations and The Home Secretary's recent comments, I wonder if it could be argued that Coutts has a policy set against UK borders and their implicit protection of the UK people - ie that their internal policy amounts to an attempt to attack the UK nation and people.

The document produced was created by Coutts and shown by Nigel Farage. Can you enlighten us exactly as to why you find the document from Coutts is "nonsense" and why you feel that Nigel Farage is responsible for the Coutts document?
Or can't you?
Even Labour politicians believe this situation is unacceptable, you very well may not like or approve of Nigel Farage's opinions, but surely you can't think that having his account closed is a justifiable thing to do, there is no evidence of criminality or money laundering, this is purely down to the Bank holding political views.

I hope you don't reserve your zest for justice just for Mr Farage. Mr Corbyn has been badly mistreated by the press, ha might be worth a shout out from you as well |

Why don't you ask them while you are at it? they have had their fair share of it for using blatant click bait. So your position is untenable. Populists are great believers in democracy. Woe betide them who think they can deny the electorate their voting rights. |
