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)

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

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 !!!
