The scrote doesn’t care that he has made a boat load of cash at the expense of thousands of others. He doesn’t care about the thousands of businesses that have gone under because of him and his mates. But when he is hit in the pockets by having to move to a pleb account, then we get questioned in parliament and a plethora of front page headlines about how hard he is done by. When is he ever going to live up to the threats of “I am going to have to leave the UK”.

    The buses don’t go where you live do they? I am going to type this really slowly so you do not miss it again. No one closed his account down. He was refused a service. Repeating the same stupid phrase over and over does not make it true.

    As for the “dubious connections” argument, that doesn’t stand up either. Coutts themselves acknowledged that there was no evidence of any direct or indirect payments from Russia. All they listed was conspiracy theories.

    I never mentioned Russia at all. Why did you mention it. Do you know something I do not?

      You can change the wording all you like, being “refused a service” with a bank means you don’t have an account with them. This also hasn’t just happened to Farage. It’s happened to people on the left of politics in the past, and I recently saw the “Wings Over Scotland” Scottish independence group had their bank accounts closed with no explanation as to why.

      It’s fairly obvious what you meant by “dubious connections”, as it’s a prominent conspiracy theory.

      If you’re fine with people losing access to an integral financial service based purely on their political views, then don’t come crying on the day your views are classed as “incorrect”.
