Seems unlikely that they would wait 7 years to not like Farage for Brexit. There's more to this than we know so far.

The bank in question seems to be Coutts & Co - which is a subsidiary of Natwest who are 40% owned by the taxpayer. Be good to see ex Tory Minister Lord Waldegrave who is Chairman of Coutts to explain himself before the Parliamentary Finance committee. Don't see any other banks offering him their services. |

My guess is that Farage has a bank account in the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, or possibly the Cayman Islands, he is sharp enough to have seen this coming and will have taken precautions. He is going to milk this this hugely and make a monster fuss about it for political reasons. Good for him, bastard banks. I suspect you might be closer than you think with the 'Cayman Islands account' Though not for the reasons proposed. |

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. Knew you’d see it for what it is Steve and it’s a worrying development. |

Is this a toxic combination of institutional remoanarism and cooperate-cult like woke ideology?
Both are rancid in their own way but combined they could form an oppressive and authoritative dictatorship.

Infamy, infamy they've all got it in for me.😂 Why am i not surprised you liberal lefties are the first to laugh .?
If there are a more disgusting political party than new labour and its dim witted supporters , then ive yet to see them.
I suggest you look at the nonsense you so often post, before pointing the finger at others. |

If he or his "party" has any connection with tax havens, banks will take a very cautious approach to handling money that can easily be laundered through multiple accounts and "justified" through a tiny political party which has a very small accounting footprint.
Unfortunately for some who have become Brexit brainwashed, the only explanation they can imagine is that huge neon sign that lives inside their heads and by which everything is judged...BREXIT.
You dont even know if the accounts refused are his personal accounts or those of his "party". If it is the latter, any bank looking to make money from holding and lending money wouldnt consider, with interest rates going up, that the "party" could pay back any loans and interest.
And we dont know how clear the demarcation is between the "party" and himself or if that is clear in the party's legal construct.
Lots of dont knows here.

Yes obviously collusion. Farage is just the latest in a series of UKIP members who have suffered the same fate - obviously the establishment getting their revenge.. |

Once, people understood and accepted that having freedoms meant that people you didn't like had those freedoms too. Now it seems society will eagerly give freedoms away - not because society has forgotten how important those freedoms are, but because tribalism has reached such intensity that people are willing to surrender treasured freedoms as long as they get to see and laugh about other people they don't like. I suppose its all part of the march towards a WEF future.. |

I suppose its all part of the march towards a WEF future.. I've been saying this for a while. That shouting from your trench is more important than looking for solutions. Despite claims on here I never lie. If I read something favourable to my opinion I try to check it out as best I can. When you said our exports to the EU have gone up I accepted that, then went and checked. I didn't immediately accuse you of being a mindless brexiter. If we are to get the UK back on course we need to do this more. Not just on here but across the country. |
