So people had their bank accounts closed because they supported Brexit? Christ what a democratic society we live in!,

No, they had their UK bank accounts closed because they live in the EU and we were no longer a member.

Even if he is hypocrisy isn't a crime.

Being a self-important xenophobic grifter isn't a crime either, but isn't a characteristic to be admired.

That’s like blaming the victims of mugging for being mugged because they campaigned against mugging.

Farage and many of us celebrated Brexit as a major battle won in the war - the struggle against the likes of you continues.

Unsurprisingly you fail to see the point.

Farage is now bleating about how his "revelations" have uncovered a mass of other account closures which he will now campaign to overturn. Whilst Brexit was a direct cause of many more yet doesn't mention them.

BJ took the reins from Farage as the primary driver of Brexit.

I haven't heard that BJ has had any bank accounts closed, but maybe his banks adhere to the rule of customer confidentiality.

i look forward to Nat West releasing some sort of public statement about the horrendous activities of Wisbech, and due to a change in policy, they were now shutting his account.

Nor me, but maybe he did and decided it was no big deal and kept quiet about it, along with the bank.

I am not a PEP!

What?

Now Brexit is to blame for people having their accounts closed?

So let me get this straight. People had accounts closed for supporting Brexit?
And you see no problem with that?

It's Farage's fault for daring to support Brexit?

You are another who doesn't understand.

It wasn't Brexit supporters who had accounts closed. It was UK citizens living in the EU having their UK accounts closed because of Brexit.

Farage is making a big deal of his closure and now making political capital out of suggesting that other accounts have been closed too, whilst keeping silent about the many thousands of UK citizens whose accounts were closed because of something he enthusiastically supported and aggressively campaigned for.

That was due to EU regulations, UK banks were forced to close some business accounts. Not the fault of Farage at all - the fault of the undemocratic authoritarian EU.

Nor is being a half daft doddery old fool who thinks he's Irish, ignores his grandchildren and hates Britain but Biden gets enough excuses.

Not true. It was due to the "deal" agreed by Johnson which failed to address the problem and left many things hanging. Nor were they just business accounts. Many thousands were personal accounts into which things like pensions were paid.

It is a requirement that to hold a UK bank account you must have a current UK address.

Farage wasn't responsible for the "deal" but he has been silent on the bank closures resulting from it, whilst making political capital from his own closure. Obvious hypocrisy.

This was exactly the case. As from the start of negotiations on Brexit the E U fascists wanted to make it as difficult for any deal to be struck. They showed their true colours. Our government were just as bad as they never wanted Brexit either.

So to sum up the banks hands were tied. Farage was not the man negotiating deals for banks. I'm sure that if we look back he would have been the most critical of the pace to get a deal done on Brexit negotiations.

What the negotiations proved on Brexit. Was the fact we were dealing with power crazed politicians who didn't want the threat of a good example; British people having the balls to say no to fascism.

Quite a big non sequitur there Teddy but, if true, it wouldn't be.

Even if half of that whitewashing was true it doesn't change the fact that Farage is making a fuss about his own closure, and now trying to make political capital out of others, whilst ignoring the many more that happened as a direct result of Brexit.

That's the subject. Not how the deal we ended up with was negotiated.

How is it not true about Private Godfrey in the White House?
Is a sequitur one of those big trees in California or a pair of garden scissors?
