Nigel Farage

Whatever you think of him , banks cancelling people because they dont agree with their politics (hes right wing lets not forget, hes not exactly mussollini) is a very dangerous route to go down.

It was a silly , misinformed decision from the head of natwest thats now cost her her job.

Yeah he might be a prick, a grifter, a bit of a knob, but natwest got this wrong

I don’t think they got it wrong I think it’s been spun in away that makes it look like they got it wrong
 
He's misrepresenting things now, claiming it's important that everyone can have a bank account - but he's been offered an account.

Apparently he's still got 2 weeks left of an extension given by Coutts.

I'm quite (no, I'm not at all) surprised that he hasn't named all these other banks, or that no-one seems bothered why all those others apparently won't give him an account either.

The amount of media and political attention that this story is getting is absurd.

Yep. Grifters got a new grift and the bank CEOs have played into his hands by being indescreet/ unprofessional. If there is some nice weather and the English channel is calm over the school hols I'm sure he'll go back to worrying about dinghy's at Dover

Oh great, more weeks of news about Farage and his bank account and where he’s allowed to put away his millions.

Catching up with this story this morning, I don’t think it’s finished yet. The Board statement looked pretty weak. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Coutts CEO and possibly Howard Davies follow her.
Unfortunately they’ve made Farage into a victim/martyr and he‘ll milk it for all it‘s worth. The only good thing will be a Legislative/Regulatory tweak that will stop Banks punishing people for their legally-held views which in the long-run will be good for all. Putting Farage to one side, what Coutts did is a slippery slope to a bad place.

This is what happens when you take on a national treasure in fairness:-)

Nat west/Coutts fucked up and the CEO has rightly gone. The fact she has and banks are having meetings show he was correct this time.

Banks have no place judging the political leanings of its account holders nor commenting on it in public. It shouldn't have meetings with an employee of the BBC or cover up the reasons for their actions.

The same would apply if a Bank did the same to Corbyn as an example.

Although some posters would magically do a 360 if that happened of course such is their complete bias on any political subject.
