the beeb disagrees with you as do most of the press.
But you are totally ignoring the financial criteria requirements.
You are ignoring the thousands of people in a similar situation. It isn't just "good ol' Nige" who've been debanked in this way.
Shame they weren't front page news, Nige will keep it going as long as he can.
You know it.
No idea of their individual details. Are they all for political reasons, or financial?
Every sensitive case with implications is engineered, fundamentally they had no problem with lawfully held political views, they did have a problem with him continuing as a customer of a private commercial bank, with his high profile divisive character. What next, the right of every shopper to appeal against Tessco for sneaking in fuel price increases on the back of hikes in energy costs?
You'd have to join FB for more info - although the Times does quote Zulia Raza Noor who says her accounts were closed with no explanation last year. She was allowed to take out £200 after begging staff and went on to say she had to pay almost £2,000 in an early termination fee on her mortgage as she had to find another lender.
Without facts it is difficult to know.
Indeed, I know of someone on another forum who had their Coutts account closed for almost identical financial reasons (nothing to do with political views), and they were offered a Natwest account, just like Farrage was. So no one in this story is being denied an account.
I'm not, it was engineered. https://www.coutts.com/become-a-client/private-form.html#:~:text=Eligibility questions&text=To open an account all,on your country of residence.
Not true - but we aren't talking about the equalities act here. Its the Payment Account Regulations Act.
In what way? As far as I've read, that covers just basic accounts. I'd appreciate it if you could point to something which says otherwise.
You make it sound so simple but my (limited) knowledge of laws suggests nothing is as easy as it is often made to sound.
