Throughout this thread the damage that the bank has caused to themselves has been acknowledged. It is though separate to the arguments I am making about Farage. He wants to connect them, as he exploits their failures, but don't be fooled by him. He is exploiting this as much as he can. The losses suffered by the bank are their responsibility but have nothing to do with any support from the masses. It's the judgement of the financial markets on the likely impact to their bottom line that has caused that. Why should people not be "cancelled" because of their politics? No one should be forced to invite anyone to speak at an event that they run. No one has the right to speak freely wherever they want. Only to be able to speak freely. It's a free country. We can choose, or ignore, whoever we want to. Why shouldn’t he exploit it as much as he can- good for him.

So the CEO has now resigned. Most likely because the bank has lost value rather than any sense of honour. Sacrificing the purple haired woke woman obviously wasn't enough to appease the money gods. Maybe this will serve as a warning to other organisations who are playing the virtue card. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (27 Jul 2023 5.34pm) Absolutely deserved to lose her job, but apparently was very good at it. Funny how one human mistake can derail what may have otherwise been a very positive era for NatWest with her at the helm. Such is life
Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons. |

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

Where is the hypocrisy in what he’s doing. Apparently he emailed the CEO twice for answers but got no reply. Give us a run down of your episode and I reckon prior to you involving your MP you did the same and because you got no response you did just that. Hypocrisy for thee but not for me !!!

I fail to see how a risk of reputational damage could be successfully quantified and a monetary value put on it. Avoiding the risk completely is more practical.

Look, if you go everywhere carrying a fiery cross of course your insurance premium will be affected. Especially for third party, fire and theft. Edited by Mapletree (27 Jul 2023 11.27pm)

LOL Gina Miller to have her account closed. Still no matter she's only a Remainer after all so it doesn't count.
One more point |

I’ve said it before on here but I’ll say it again . NF hasn’t changed since Coutts on boarded him as a client. Who knew that he banked with them until some not so bright spark decided he was no longer desirable as a customer ? Farage’s status works both ways. His status attracted the attention of Coutts and it also enabled him to bring it into the public domain . Aided and abetted by a gossip of a CEO and a lack of pragmatism by a newly woke concern that in reality cares for nothing other than it’s share price. Perfectly summarised
Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |
