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! Completely hypocritical. He is no more interested in them than he is in anyone other than himself and those who can further his ambitions. Just remember this. That after Brexit many thousands of UK citizens living in EU countries had their UK bank accounts closed. Did Farage campaign on their behalf then? Is he doing so now? No, of course he didn't, and won't, because it would be rightly pointed out that he carries a heavy responsibility for them losing their accounts.

I guess because one would have been done without them actually being completely aware of it, even though they might have had suspicions, whilst the other was open and obvious so no defence was possible. I'll defer to one of our fellow posters with banking experience to answer what suspicions they might have had.

I don't want to seem pendantic, but you don't spell pedant like that. Just thought I'd brooch the subject I suspect that was me typing fast and being caught out by autocorrect! No answer though on how Farage has had his freedom of speech impaired! Too busy being a language policeman perhaps to address the subject? I'll pin that broach on you. I'm shure it will sute you. To satisfy your pedanticism I have edited my original post to read "There is no valid freedom of speech argument from Farage". It's what was always meant, but I trust it is now crystal clear.

As soon as anything is referred to an authority for checking they may well request that service continues so that the trail can be stitched together. Junior staff may not even be aware of such requests. I am though only speculating.

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. Well done. That's the first post in a while to mention immigrants. You are entitled to your opinions but you are increasingly isolated in holding them. As is verified by the survey you dismiss so readily because it shows a situation you don't like. Brexit has come and gone. We are now in the post-Brexit era when theory has become reality, the green fields next door have been found barren, the golden dawn full of rain clouds and Farage/Johnson et al shown to be the liars many of us always knew they were. We are on the way back. The tide is flowing. It will take a while to cover our island again but it will. So prepare to moan and groan. You had your moment. Now common sense will take over again.

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. Any publicity is good publicity.

As you seem incapable of responding to the content of my comments, but constantly seek to attack my character, maybe someone else could help you to find a way to concentrate on the subject under review. Who that might be is not for me to suggest. I don't know you. I only know what you write here. Not much of an apology but better than nothing
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

You underestimate the silent majority. I fully expected a percentage of people who voted Brexit to be moaning after the event. Some people will be disappointed no matter what. That is the nature of people. I don't expect you to have a balanced view of anything at any time, and you never disappoint. Sadly, you prove time and again that we not yet in the post idiot era.

Not much of an apology but better than nothing I am sorry to disappoint you but it wasn’t an apology, it was an explanation. No apology was necessary as it you who jumped to conclusions, not me. Not for the first time, regrettably.

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. You have not described how Farage has been hypocritical in his reaction to Coutts closing his account. You also bandy about allegations of rudeness that you can’t substantiate.

You seriously think the silent majority agree with you? You must be nuts! The shrinking number who do are making a disproportionate amount of noise. The silent majority are those too busy just coping to bother making noise but are also those most impacted by Brexit and therefore more anti than the rest.
