The problem is corporate governance has been infiltrated by woke. There's little more to add. The problem is woke.

I know this thread is getting long, but here's something to consider. The BBC lied, the state broadcaster published lies about Farage and as yet, have remained silent.

Once again Squeezed you seem to be struggling to understand basic English. The bank has confirmed that there were derogatory comments about Farage in its teport. We agree on that. The bank has rightly apologised for that. The bank has confirmed that it is not its policy to exit customers based on their political views. Nowhere in its statement does the bank confirm that Farage’s account was closed exclusively or primarily because of his views. I know you want that to be the case. I know you have persuaded yourself it is the case. It may even be the case - we just don’t know. Farage could release the bank from its confidentiality obligations and allow us to see the facts. He chooses not to. Some may find that reality telling. We have been going round in circles on this for long enough now. Unless the facts emerge, I’ll leave it here. Again Dappy your expert ability to completely ignore facts and previous posts comes to the fore. Has the bank reinstated Farage's account? If not, how is this a victory for the Manfrog?

Has the bank reinstated Farage's account? No. How is it a victory for Farage, then? The letter doubles down on their claim that they don't 'exit' customers solely for their political views. You said something about Farage taking the bank to court. On what legal basis do you see that happening? There is no apparent breach of contract.

Oh ffs this is a long thread and I'm not going through it all again Suffice to say, if you actually believe what you wrote above, then you're an even bigger pillock than I thought.

My post isn't a statement of belief. It has three prongs, two of which are questions. The third is a statement of fact, not belief. Don't you think your celebrations are a little premature, Red? So far, nothing appears to have changed for Farage. He's still exactly where he was when this thing began; that is, he's still a little manfrog who has been expelled from the metropolitan elite club for insufficient funds.

It was established a couple of days ago that Farage's bank balance was not the reason his and three of his families bank accounts were closed. Are you just bored?

I haven't been following it, but the impression I get is that it wasn't the sole reason. Farage has no legal rights that I can see. What is the basis for your claim that he can take Coutts to court? And if he has no legal recourse, how has his position advanced from where he was when this whole thing began? I'm assuming there is a reason for your and Squeaky's jubilation.

Coutts can't be expected to give a bank account to every beer stained hobo that walks in the door.

Coutts divulged information about Farage's finances to the BBC and the press. This is, believe it or not, against the law. FFS Einy, read the thread.

FFS Einy, read the thread. Yes, it is a breach of privacy. But successful cases based on that legal premise haven't returned large sums in damages for plaintiffs. And even if he were to proceed down that road, Coutts will undoubtedly argue one of the many defences. One defence is public interest. If Farage, a public figure, was incorrectly stating that he was downgraded to a pleb account solely because of his political views, it could be argued that there was a public interest in revealing that wasn't the case. That's just one of several defences available to Coutts. Of course, the manfrog may not wish to proceed along that route, because, as already stated, actions for breach of privacy return very meagre damages compared to, say, an action for defamation.

It's difficult to get a good lawyer when you are sleeping in a charity shop doorway.
