Makes sense. I wonder how many others have received the same treatment but don't have their own TV platform to jump up and down on. It's all so Trump like. I am surprised Coutts hasn't yet been accused of a "witchhunt". So those others had it coming iyo. No recourse is fine then is it? Just maybe some had a case but not the platform to question it. My god this is like a loop ! Have you considered doing a bit of water boarding for entertainment ! Edited by cryrst (24 Jul 2023 5.07pm)

Seems the bbc & reporter have apologised to Farage . . . [Link]
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

The editor refused to publish anything unless it was corroborated and on the record, it meant that WP was bullet proof when the White House tried to deny it. The standard of journalism in this country is woeful, they just take what they are fed and act on it depending on their politics. I expect that from the tabloids but the BBC? Did it not not occur to the journalist over his nice cosy lunch that he was being fed BS for dinner. Why did his editor not tell the journalist we need proof if we get this wrong Farage will make a meal of it. Sigh Woodward and Bernstein they aint.

Tbh NF hasn’t really, he’s stuck up for himself after being wronged. The very same process a certain poster has done on here over 10k

Coutts won't have an opinion on his opinions. They have a concern about the opinions of their customers on his opinions. Sorry but this is a ridiculous statement. Why would their customers know he banked there unless they made it public? If they did, a breach of confidentiality. As I said before I wonder how many Saudis have millions stashed away in the vaults of Coutts? What are their customers opinions on them

There appears to have been some internal documents, I assume recovered via a Subject Access Request, suggesting he was not someone in line with the Bank's ethos May well be that having fallen out of the Bank's requirements, they looked into whether they wanted to give him dispensation and decided they didn't really see him as a great ambassador for their brand. Given the lies he and BoJo told on so many occasions that would not be a surprise. I suspect if you went into Coutts on any given day you would literally be tripping over money launderers insider traders and corrupt oligarchs.

Who own Coutts. There you are another one liner! Sure, but rather obviously it's not as simple as NatWest Group are 38% owned by the taxpayer, therefore Coutts is 38% owned by the taxpayer. Also what you appear to be implying is that level of ownership is some sort of reasoning for his jettisoning. In terms of probability, it's not zero, but it's pretty close to it.
Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons. |

Dangerous scenario if true. So, if some of the public have accounts with UK banks that provide Islamic compliant accounts, should the bank close those to potentially pacify those that think Shira law is unpleasant? That's a matter for the bank to determine. They would have to decide where their best interests lay and act accordingly. What anyone else thinks is immaterial.

My FI wrote to me when I fell below the threshold (not before) and politely gave me my options e.g. up it or leave. Coutts just closed his account. If Coutts thought that a politician (any politician) wouldn't make political capital out it it they are idiots. Edited by Badger11 (24 Jul 2023 4.18pm) This is true. Coutts handled it very badly, but they have the right to make bad decisions. If they didn't want his business much better to have refused his initial application. If he has had an account since before he became politically active then there were better ways to dump him than the way they did.
