52% were “persuaded” to vote for Brexit in 2016 in the most stupid political mistake ever made in our country. Something Farage will go down in history as being partially responsible for. How many would vote the same way today? 20%? 30%? 40%? I bet no one would seriously anticipate any higher than 40%!

Everyone, me included, wants illegal immigration curtailed.

It’s not for commercial businesses to supply essential services to everyone unless so ordered by the government, who have to underwrite the risks involved.

That particularity applies to social media companies, especially where there is a lot of competition and no one gets frozen out of speaking their mind. It’s up to each platform to determine its own standards and target its own audience, to achieve the maximum advertising revenue it can. They aren’t public utilities. They are profit making businesses.

There are lots of bank accounts available but should it happen that any group of people are unable to secure even a basic service then government intervention could become necessary and make such provision mandatory, probably at a cost. We are though a long way from that point yet.

I doubt that anyone in the “establishment” were involved.

It looks to me like a deliberate attempt to reposition their image. One that backfired in spectacular fashion but whose motivation was pure, albeit not appreciated here.

Do you look under your bed for reds before you sleep?

You see them everywhere. Is your real name McCarthy?

The City react to negative news. The Government react to political threats. The Regulator reacts to Government instructions.

I apologise for suggesting you could not be a client. That some wouldn’t approve was probably understood by the bank but disregarded as that will always be true and they didn’t expect it to become public in the way it did when they took the decision.

Thanks for the compliment.

I am pretty sure yes Wisbech. I'm also pretty sure that what people say in public is not necessarily what they really think.

Because of the culture that you endorse, they are afraid to speak out.

Farage positions himself as a champion of the common man. He isn’t. He is a toff. A privately educated man who enjoyed a lucrative career in the city before becoming obsessed with our EU membership and turning to politics.

He has repeatedly referred to “all the others” affected, without having any idea of either the numbers, or the reasons.

However, many thousands of British citizens living in EU countries, had their UK bank accounts withdrawn as a direct consequence of Brexit. Something he was the primary architect of. Did he speak up for them back then? Does he mention them now?

No. He is a hypocrite.

Prior to Brexit he railed against the EU, and especially its Parliament whilst taking a big salary from the EU Parliament and now getting a pension from it, which is paid for from the settlement we had to agree to.

Hypocrite.

He also has 2 children who hold German passports.
