As to who is racist or xenophobic is down to a subjective opinion and that’s the problem.Are you actually disputing the fact that Farage is xenophobic or racist?
He's entitled to sue them for defamation.The problem he has though is that he is xenophobic and racist and he doesn't have a positive reputation.
So such action would fail.
To be honest I am not sure what point you are making.Once again you have failed - and by now it is very clear that it is a deliberate failure - to engage with my point. It is equally clear that you do not have an answer to it.
You said that Coutts was a public company because it was part of Nat West group. You also said he had been denied banking services even though he had been offered a Nat West account. By your own argument one of those propositions must be wrong. So I will ask again:
You have plainly contradicted yourself, so which time were you wrong?
Again missing the point.Yes, you are almost certainly right. Which brings us back to why they told him to fuck off in the first place. He isn't wealthy enough to be one of their clients.
Should we all complain that Coutts and (NatWest's other private banking brand) Drummonds don't offer their services to the poor?
Surely everyone has a right to private banking and bespoke services, it's much more important than clean air, sewage free rivers or feeding young children.
If it helps I've gone to the trouble of highlighting the quote in the letter in the Guardian and changing the punctuation so nobody else should go off on one without comprehending.Would it not be better to just say oops I made a mistake.
You have proved my theory that your not really reading or comprehending what you are reading on here before you press the like button.
Good question
Unless Coutts were merely trying to be nice. "We're cancelling your account because you're considerably less rich than we like, and not of course just because you're an odious fascist grifter."Correct. Coutts can turn him down for any number of reasons - I doubt many of us would meet the threshold for an account there, but the reason given to him was untrue, and the real reason is likely slightly dodgy.
It's a fact that Farage is an odious fascist who (give him credit) is largely responsible for one of the worst decisions this country has ever made. We're all poorer thanks to him, and unless odious fascism is a protected characteristic he's not been discriminated against. Isn't needing oodles of money to get a Coutts account discrimination against the poor?As to who is racist or xenophobic is down to a subjective opinion and that’s the problem.
You just cannot get the principle can you.
It’s not about Farage for the umpteenth time.
The rules need to be tightened up so they stick to facts.
The thought of decisions on what someone can have are left to the likes of you and the Didsbury’s of this world fills me with horror.
Braggadocio and chutzpah? Are they our new transfer targets?It takes some chutzpah and some very willing backers to release evidence that contradicts it and still try it though! As you say though, that’s enough for some, a worrying amount tbh.
Well if they have said it’s because your Xenophobic or racist and you have got the document to prove it I am sure the BBC will take your case up.
But they are only saying what every sane person thinks about him so what is the story?Well if they have said it’s because your Xenophobic or racist and you have got the document to prove it I am sure the BBC will take your case up.
