Do you seriously think they would knowingly offer service to an arms dealer or money launderer? That feels illegal to me. Seriously? Why do you think the anti money laundering laws were brought in? And still the banks senior management suffer from amnesia and claim lack of controls / mistakes when they caught. But you are correct people should go to gaol for this, but they don't. Why do you think London is called the Money Laundering Capital of the world. Edited by Badger11 (29 Jul 2023 9.55pm) Edited by Badger11 (29 Jul 2023 9.55pm)

Contradiction will only be seen by a pendant, to whom I have explained. Others will understand from the start what was meant. Perhaps you would like to explain precisely which way Farage's freedom of speech has been curtailed by this event? Contradiction will be seen as just that - no pedantry required ! And if you have to ask the freedom of speech question than you’re more deluded than I thought - because the argument has never been about it being curtailed. Nor have I claimed it to be.

You seriously think the silent majority agree with you? You must be nuts! The shrinking number who do are making a disproportionate amount of noise. The silent majority are those too busy just coping to bother making noise but are also those most impacted by Brexit and therefore more anti than the rest. Brexit is just one element. People are tired of mass immigration. Tired of the gang violence, organized crime, race nonsense and religious zealotry that comes with it. Only the liberal elite and a few students look at this country and think that it isn't going to the dogs. And then of course there are hypocrites who move to Cornwall and then tell us everything is great. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (29 Jul 2023 10.39pm)

If contradiction exists then of course it can be seen. It doesn’t so it can’t. If Farage or anyone else isn’t complaining about how his free speech is impacted why on earth are they making a fuss? Being able to pontificate is all that matters to him.

Farage bears no responsibility whatsoever for people having their bank accounts closed. Farage was a primary driver of Brexit and celebrated it like we had won a war! People had their accounts closed as a direct consequence. He wasn’t solely responsible but he is a hypocrite for making a fuss about his closure and ignoring those that Brexit caused:

So let me get this straight. People had accounts closed for supporting Brexit? It's Farage's fault for daring to support Brexit?

Farage is now bleating about how his "revelations" have uncovered a mass of other account closures which he will now campaign to overturn. Whilst Brexit was a direct cause of many more yet doesn't mention them.

BJ took the reins from Farage as the primary driver of Brexit. I haven't heard that BJ has had any bank accounts closed, but maybe his banks adhere to the rule of customer confidentiality. i look forward to Nat West releasing some sort of public statement about the horrendous activities of Wisbech, and due to a change in policy, they were now shutting his account. Nor me, but maybe he did and decided it was no big deal and kept quiet about it, along with the bank. I am not a PEP!

You are another who doesn't understand. It wasn't Brexit supporters who had accounts closed. It was UK citizens living in the EU having their UK accounts closed because of Brexit. Farage is making a big deal of his closure and now making political capital out of suggesting that other accounts have been closed too, whilst keeping silent about the many thousands of UK citizens whose accounts were closed because of something he enthusiastically supported and aggressively campaigned for.

It was due to the "deal" agreed by Johnson which failed to address the problem and left many things hanging. Nor were they just business accounts. Many thousands were personal accounts into which things like pensions were paid. It is a requirement that to hold a UK bank account you must have a current UK address. Farage wasn't responsible for the "deal" but he has been silent on the bank closures resulting from it, whilst making political capital from his own closure. Obvious hypocrisy.
