A fine example of someone who seems to be malfunctioning at the thought of Nigel Farage being right.

No one could possibly argue that Farage isn't right.

Farage is a fine example of how it's possible to both be very right and very wrong at the same time.

If they deemed this situation to be in their best interest then the decisions they take on investing their customers' millions might come into question.

Undoubtedly so. This will reverberate for a long time. That though wasn't their intention.

There is nothing manufactured about his 'outrage'. He has been measured and calm in exposing the lies of Coutts, Nat West and the BBC.

Oh Farage can manufacture a measured and calm outrage. It's what he does. I have never seen anyone so obviously lacking sincerity. It's all an act.

He has missed his vocation. He would have made a great villain on Eastenders. Dirty Nigel, cleansing the east end of immigrants and socialism.

It would take a book to answer that. Starting with Brexit and continuing up to this.

His whole stance over this event is manufactured outrage designed to achieve a political advantage. That's propaganda.

His freedom of speech hasn't been affected. No money has been lost. No doubt he has several other bank accounts and credit cards, so his ability to live, trade and enjoy life hasn't been diminished in any way. It's 100% bs which he is using as propaganda to further himself.

That's the mark of an odious man.

I have to say i just can't see how this has become front page news - he is now an irrelevance.
He has clearly called in a few favours from his press buddies (so much for independence) and this morning he is on radio 4 calling for the whole BOD to resign - clearly getting the CEO removed is not sufficient.
I also can't see how there has been any data breach as he was the one who disclosed all the information on the first place.

I suppose it moves the focus away from more serious news items as parts of Europe burn etc

Europe did the same 50 years ago, same temperatures, same fires, same outcome apart from the holiday makers coming or going. Now that’s a real swerve you’ve tried

Wasn't long ago that banks and employers would not allow black people to have accounts go inside restaurants, bars etc...

What's your opinion on this? Should banks also have a right to decline based on ones skin color? It's discrimination in all forms.

could you quantify 'Wasn't long ago'........

I think this post establishes that your hatred of Farage is outweighing any clear thinking on the issue at hand. What untruths has he spread?

The whole basis of his claim is untrue. He hasn’t been “debanked” for his political views or anything else personal. Coutts have withdrawn service because they are concerned that their reputation might be damaged through an association with him.

Maybe you think that is the same thing, but it isn’t. The first would be a direct cause. The second isn’t. They could have reached their decision as a result of a variety of considerations, such as him being a high profile individual with controversial views who courts publicly. What those views might be would be irrelevant. It would only matter that they are controversial and that carries risk.

Should they not be able to decide to protect their reputation in whichever way they believe is appropriate?

This scandal has been going on over a week. If the board members have not been talking to each other about their position and whether the CEO had done anything wrong then they are even more useless than most of us think.

They are paid a great deal of money to make big decisions but sometimes those decisions such as this are easy.

I am unaware of the Board structure at NatWest and how responsibilities are delegated but I doubt whether they meet very often or were all involved in making the statement. Maybe we will find out. It was a big mess for sure.

I rest my case. You really are losing any semblance of clear thinking here, due to your contempt fir the person it involves. Manufactured outrage!, His personal details were given by the CEO to a journalist, possibly with the full knowledge it would be made public. Totally against all client confidentiality. Anyone would be outraged. Of course I’m not surprised you mention Brexit, I believe you have even managed to get Trump into this thread in another post

That the bank messed up is beyond debate. Nor is that Farage is milking it as hard as he can. The manufactured outrage stems from the false claims that he has been “cancelled “ (note current right wing jargon) by the bank for his political views.

That the bank enabled and assisted him to perform his act doesn’t change that fact. If he was genuinely concerned there are routes open to everyone to make a complaint. Not Farage though. H has a devoted bunch of fellow thinkers hungry for anything he can sling at people he doesn’t like watching him on a daily TV show.

This was entertainment for them. Not genuine concern.

The response was about his propaganda, which predates this event by years. Which is why Brexit got mentioned. Farage bears a very heavy responsibility over that disaster.

I have to admit I really am enjoying the meltdown from the Farage haters and the woke lefties. They hate that he is right.

And back we go again to Brexit.

Where is the disaster? I haven't seen one.

What I have seen is a load of Remainers and globalists telling us it's a disaster with no justification whatsoever.

What a surprise.

The likes of Tony Blair who has made a fortune by being a globalist puppet hasn't had his bank accounts closed despite being complicit in an illegal war, forcing mass immigration on this country without a mandate from the electorate and being an all round prick.

You and he could be friends.

You would hope that the directors at Nat West meet now and again - to justify their average annual income for the job of £198,589.

Why do you keep repeating this nonsensical tosh. Do you think that if you just keep saying it people will start to give it some credence.

Especially since a lot of that has been raised from overdraft costs they've charged me over the years.

Total rubbish.

I want Trump to face justice via due process and have repeatedly said so. It seems he now faces a lot and is doing his best to delay them for as long as he can. As I have said many times, patience is needed. If he is guilty of anything it must be proved in court.

_________________

So, if Trump goes to court and is found not guilty, then you wouldn't agree with it anyway. Just as you don't agree with the supreme court's verdict in the 'gay cake'case.

It's only the right decision if you agree with it ?
