There is only one fact in the above. Which is that unfortunately, you don't know what you are talking about. If you haven't worked it out by now, you never will. As anything else I could say would rival you for rudeness I will leave it there. Still you avoid answering the question of how was Farage hypocritical in relation to the Coutts affair. How have I been rude in trying to get you to answer a simple question.

Farage does his thing openly. What the Guardian reports is a sophisticated criminal money laundering scheme which requires thorough investigation by specialists. That's the job of the police or financial authorities and probably beyond the capacity of any individual bank. Their role would be limited to reporting suspicious activity. Who knows if they did? If they reported it then the fine they received was a bit harsh.

Of course no need to check but you have contradicted yourself. And you’re doing it again with your “ no valid freedom of speech “ argument- I think you’ll find there is but I don’t think you’ll bother looking because you refuse to see it. It’s just your opinion which you continue to present, incorrectly, as fact. 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?

You don't seriously believe that do you! I have opened a NatWest account today to show solidarity with them. Well actually, no. I did it because their rates are highest. Interesting given that Alison Rose was the only bank CEO to decline to discuss savings rates when invited by the Treasury Select Committee in February

Having spent my career in banking and seeing many many financial scandals of all shapes and sizes over the decades err yes I do. Banks worry about their customers reputation well we should query theirs, seems only fair to me.

Nigel Farages tweet: Since I told my story, I’ve been inundated with messages from others in genuine distress. Thousands have also suffered the indignity of being debanked. It is a national scandal. Tomorrow, I will launch a new campaign to defend those who have been treated badly by the big banks" Fantastic! He is using his platform to help people. I would be giving him a knighthood after this!

Just thought I'd brooch the subject

That's for him to decide. If holding a Coutts account was felt by Farage to be so essential he couldn't live without it, he could stop being a PEP and retire to grow vegetables. He has choices. So does the bank. This makes even less sense as he didn't decide. The bank did. Anyway, if he retired to grow vegetables I'd bet your Nat West cash ISA that he'd steer clear of growing Brussels.

What on earth do you not understand about my informing you that I have already answered it and have no intention of doing it again. If you cannot understand that then that's not my problem. Nor do I intend to trawl back to give examples of your rudeness, but repeatedly requesting an answer to something already answered seems pretty rude to me.

A majority didn't vote for Brexit. A majority of those who voted, voted for Brexit and I accept that. What I don't accept that it was a wise or even legitimate process. That poll could have a huge margin of error and still indicate that a majority now disapprove. Which is hardly surprising given the closeness of the original vote. There's no propaganda needed for people to change their minds. They are witnessing the stupidity every day personally. Only those, like you, for whom not being in the EU was an over-riding demand whatever the economic and security consequences don't now accept it is a failure. Not all those who voted for it by a very big margin. Those who thought it would save money or reduce immigration now know they were conned. Many of us knew that in 2016. Once again. Brexit has not failed. You would claim it had no matter what. There has been a failure to implement it properly for sure, but the sky has not fallen like all the remoaners predicted. There has been a pandemic, a war and global inflation. Despite that, Britain has not sunk beneath the waves. That is only likely to happen if we keep allowing immigrants to come here by the hundreds of thousands.

That feels illegal to me.
