My thanks to @bbcsimonjack for his apology.
I have also received a letter of apology from the BBC News CEO, Deborah Turness.
I am very grateful to both.
And Nigel's gracious acceptance was in stark contrast to the scurrilous smears of his detractors. I do hope it's a prelude to some serious legal action. Both Coutts and the BBC need punishment.

Both Coutts and the BBC need punishment. best way to punish auntie is strip her of the outdated licence fee and taxpayers propping her up. As for the banks , i and many others have said it time and again politicians need to wind them in big time.
How dare a bank attempt to cancel someone for non banking reasons . Fully agree with your post.

Well apparently, those well-known bunch of Bolsheviks have been using social media as a weapon of mass destruction for building dodgy dossiers on people's politics via their posts. It seems bankers are in control of all things and cancelling people is just another weapon in the arsenal. The security services have of course put themselves out of the frame because their workload watching Muslim imported terrorists takes up most of their time. Meanwhile nobody said a word about the other cartel who insists we still need to import even more.

We'll see who's right come election time. I don't see what Thomas has said after figuratively speaking - smacking your arse over your warped moral principles re Farage and elections next year, but there you go desperate is as desperate does.

Someone from the bank should have punched Farage in the head and kicked him when he was on the ground instead of just downgrading his bank account. Apparently that is the inevitable consequence of expressing a political opinion you don't like.

The distinction you are avoiding is the difference between expressing an opinion and creating a willful obstruction. These are two different things.

Look at it from another angle if someone had their account closed on their grounds of their colour or creed, or sexuallity, the banks would be hurled before the PRA the FCA the government and possibly even the courts. So why would political discrimination be classed any differently.
**Discrimination is any unjustified, legal or actual, direct or indirect distinction or unequal treatment, or failure to treat a person or a group of persons in comparison to other persons, as well as exclusion, restriction or preferential treatment of a person in comparison to other persons.
What are the 5 main types of discrimination under the Act?
What are the different types of discrimination?
Direct discrimination.
Discrimination arising from disability.
Indirect discrimination.
Harassment.
Victimisation.
Duty to make reasonable adjustments.
**I'd say the conduct of the banks regarding Farage they had broken at least two of those acts ^^

The distinction you are avoiding is the difference between expressing an opinion and creating a willful obstruction. These are two different things. Not in Monte World. In Monte World holding an opinion that Monte doesn't like should result in becoming a non-citizen. It's a point of view that has enjoyed great popularity with totalitarian regimes over the years.

What could possibly go wrong?

What could possibly go wrong? You need to go back a step. An unqualified 'right to protest' is a social impossibility. Any 'right to protest' has to be qualified by the rights of others or nobody but 'protesters' will have any rights at all. You avoided this point earlier and it is a giant hole in your position.

And even though he is the victim of a criminal act you encourage violence against him. I'll tell you something Monte, if ever it comes to violence on the streets, mass civil unrest, and it might, then a minority of aggresive antisocial lefties will be in for a right kicking because believe me they are pissing off more and more people every day.

Farage is one of the most placid people in politics, yet the abuse he gets is disgusting, he is never rude or aggressive even when the interviewer is being intimidating, he's polite with all cross parties, yet he is not shown the same respect.
The political lefties are entitled, arrogant, ignorant, self serving, bigots, and it's about time they were put in their place, what gives them the right to believe they are so superior over others, I think Farage has been far too polite for far too long, when in Rome you do as the Romans do.
