Farage

[fillyboy]

Ha! Iv'e just done one for Nigel, closed my two N/W accounts, had a row with them, so they are history, told them it was for Nigel, btw next time we meet you owe me a pint.

Good old Nige will be made up.

I think I'll open two.

Looks like the BBC have apologised to the bloke in writing

Also the reporter of the story has apologised

In fairness he reported on what he was told by a senior source at the bank

He refers to that person as a very senior source hmmm probably the same person who issued an apology recently

Could be a senior source resignation ( sacking) at coots / Nat west

 

[transam]

It would appear ?? That farage had his account closed for political reasons

His political views and when he stated that was the case a senior source at the bank leaked the not having enough money caper to the BBC reporter who than ran with / reported the story / allegation

Way I see it banks can choose there customers ? ???

But the difference with the Nat west is they were bailed out

They had to go cap in hand to the tax payer

And Transam is a tax payer

The story is how these banks have written into the small print that they can monitor what you say on social media and all that infers if your on the wrong side of the argument.
When you throw into the mix the march to a cashless society, then that should raise concerns whatever stance you take.

He was offered a normal Natwest account.

Only matters if alternative banking is not available. Banks should be free (to some extent) to choose their customer as much as the customer should be free to choose which bank they want (even if it is a limited choice, but more than 1)

Cashless society is happening (even if its not fully cashless but mostly).

The three pillars of ESG?

Not really. With internet banking you can have access to many worldwide banks, I doubt they all have the same Governance, or even ideals.

 

[gant]

I'm sure there will be banks who don't sign up, will they be on the outside looking in.
The governance is increasingly becoming global.

You stick with your conspiracy theories. They aren't for me.

You never did explain what the problem was,

I pity the bank employee that is tasked with deciphering your soshul meeja "contributions"

I could not give a hoot if Coutts get sued and lose. What made me smile was their brutal honesty..."disingenuous grifter...fascist....Trump lover....etc"
Who ever wrote that has got some neck, but hats off, summed poor old Nige up, beautifully.
I really hope he does sue (he won't, he cant).

The venom is strong tonight.

They have good private banking at Nat west, what’s the issue.
