Take the hit for what if they did nothing wrong according to you !

For the embarrassment following their PR disaster. They can only mitigate their situation now.

Why was it a PR disaster ?
Although I reckon this could be the next banking scandal and it could go like PPI if it cost people property, business and if suicide happened over it then insurance companies may be in for a reimbursement. Just supposition but with the current blame , woke environment who’s to say it’s not possible. If unfair debarking happens here it most certainly is happening elsewhere in the world.

Why on earth would any of those things happen? A bank account was closed. How many people only have one account? How difficult would it be to open another account or make other arrangements?

No money has been lost. It’s more of a nuisance than any kind of a major problem.

Yes, a bit like a baker refusing to put your gay propaganda on a cake.

Of course it was. Careless management and poorly designed systems.

That though was all it was. A big error by a bank that fully justified the resignations.

Handing such a propaganda victory to Farage has been painful to witness. He always looks smug but now his demeanour is now so self-righteous it’s really difficult to watch.

In that nobody died, that’s true, but it was never the case in the bakery case. That was always about exposing discrimination.

There was no discrimination involved with Farage. He wasn’t debanked for his opinions. He was debanked because those opinions were controversial. If they were controversial left wing opinions he would have been equally at risk.

Of course, Farage claims otherwise and people like you buy his spinning so there’s little chance of you seeing that.

I suspect many people only have 1 account, I do, as do my family. Why would we have more? Do know no money has been lost?

So controversial opinions are deemed u suitable for a bank account, I consider many views on the trans issue controversial, if I ran a bank would it be acceptable in your eyes for me to close accounts of those who hold the views? Surely if that is discrimination so is closing Farage’s account

Have a read of The Guardian and cheer up.

With every post you merely reinforce what a complete tw at you are.

Forage was offered another account, by the same company. He refused went to the press, disclosed his own personal data, to make a story out of something quite minor.

The fact that the govt and most media have jumped all over this, just shows all the friends he has in high places.

As a business owner it is perfectly acceptable to refuse business

Of course Farage was discriminated against, because of his politics. Whereas the bakers were found not guilty of discrimination by the Supreme Court.

It's good you don't let your opinions be fettered by facts.

Really?

Seems a lot of people don't agree with you.

Funny then that not only has Farage got his old account back but the bank have been heavily criticised, CEO gone and new laws are in the offering.....plus Farage is probably going to be compensated.

So I guess if you thought what they did was a good idea then I'd stay away from any consultancy jobs.

A lot were allegedly business accounts. When suppliers or subbies arnt paid you lose business and potentially the whole company. Business accounts are not that easy to set up as they potentially have a lot more evidence needed and come with special conditions and even overdrafts to help with cash flow.
Maybe you don’t understand that’s how it works !

And compensation to him could set a very expensive precedent for others who had similar treatment. This snowball is just the first flake atm.

Quite, and deservedly so.

These top bankers are paid ridiculous sums of money as it is and if they are asleep at the wheel or as in this case steering it into nonsensical waters like here they deserve all they lose.

Any compensation will be partially funded by the taxpayer.

For me it should come from the pockets of the senior management and board.

There will be many, like me, moving funds out of Natwest in response to this farce
