The government bailed out the banks and it is the government that has the power. The people are secondary considerations as are customers. No they didn’t, the govt used our money (the taxpayers) the govt has no money of its own hence it’s name “the public purse” however I get your drift. Oh I agree, but it was a government decision not a people's decision. If a bank is looking to be bailed out it does not seek approval from the people it goes straight to government.

Farage did mention his involvement with Russia, and he has appeared on the Russia tv channel in britain, which he was paid for. Some of the things he has said about Russia have been disturbing, excusing a lot, as well as approving of Russias anti wokery, who cant agree with that. I am a Farage supporter, you cant not be, everything he says is spot on and common sense, everything our fkd up parties are not. Is there a growing move by any government to dictatorship, that unless you agree and toe the line your out? Absolutely. There is a government above parliament, Farage is an example. Is Farage a Russia supporter?, probably. But not the war, but the conservative way of doing things. Of course, there's also the fact that Farage is a Putin enabler. He refused to back a vote in the EU Parliament to curb Russian propaganda.

The guy on the left looks very gammony. The other looks like a nicotine-stained manfrog.

There ought to be a children's section on this forum to cater for the people who are unable to engage and contribute anything meaningful.

Makes one wonder who will be next, well probably not in your case as you see him as a political opponent which anyone in their right mind would find highly questionable, when the state starts removing political opponents it can only end up one way.

Apparently the banks have been targeting politicians with the 'wrong' views for a while...

Thing is, the deep state which used to be most fearful of left wingers and which probably had a hand in doing a number on Corbyn because they saw him as an enemy of the state, now seems to be seeing enemies of the state on the right too. Farage is known to be Trump friendly and possibly suspected of being Russia friendly. I suspect that the deep state is doing a number on him. He is not as easy to smear as Corbyn because he has large sections of the media sympathetic to him. But if the deep state is able to put pressure on banks to close someone's accounts, they can do that person a lot of damage.
It is even possible that the deep state has concluded that Brexit was a mistake which needs to be reversed and people like Farage stand in the way and thus need to be neutralised. Of course, all I have just said could be a conspiracy theory and nothing more, and whether or not all is as Farage has described it might also be in doubt.
Nevertheless, if the deep state, probably in collusion with establishment politicians, can decide on who is an enemy of the state and target them in this way, even those of us who loathe Farage should be very worried. Because if the deep state can do this to an opponent, they can also do it to the ones on our side.
Of course I acknowledge again that all this could just be a conspiracy theory of my own invention, fuelled by deep seated suspicions. But the possibility of anything like this actually happening is indeed a worrying one.
Anyone who delights in an enemy being damaged by illegitimate means is a fool for accepting this. Because those same illegitimate means can be used against them and theirs too when it suits.

Jonksy's Hate-Filled Hellscape has a better ring to it. Jonksy's Playground, perhaps? Can be filled with pics of all his favourite reading material - the Beano, the Dandy, the Daily Mail - and pics of all his favourite characters - the Bash Street Kids, Dennis the Menace, Lord Snooty, Paul Dacre.

It's now become a bit like football where you wait to see if the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) gives a goal ....... now we wait with bated breath to see if the Video Assistant Moderator deems the post fit to stay, or gets shuffled off to 'Conspiracy'.
