Banks just do what they like and when they go bust expect the taaxpayer to shut up and bail them out. So yeah I do think they have a public responsibility otherwise next time they get into trouble we should let them sink just like the cornershop. There may well come a time when defining them as a public utility happens. Not at the moment though.

I’ve sat on many a Risk Committee in a number of banks and you are wrong. That some people might allow their personal views to influence their professional ones would be a failure of supervision. Not of the principles involved.

"Mr Farage said the new boss of Coutts had written to him to say he could keep the accounts. Coutts and its parent company NatWest have been embroiled in a row with Mr Farage, which last week led to resignations at the top of both banks. NatWest said it could not comment on individual customers." (BBC website) Absolutely hilarious, the hypocrisy. I bet Dame Alison Rose receives a nice pay-off, as she resigned before she was sacked. If this was a bank teller making a fundamental error, it would be instant dismissal and probably nothing , as it's gross misconduct. Edited by Forest Hillbilly (01 Aug 2023 8.39am)

They could, but they didn’t make that case. They made it only on their personal beliefs. That’s discrimination. That's totally irrelevant, they didn't have to make that case. They were charged with discriminating against the homosexual-rights agitator because he was a homosexual. Clearly they were not doing that and the Supreme Court agreed.

It is unsubstantiated spin to suggest that Coutts board members are admirers of Farage. The objectives of Coutts bank is stated in their mission statement and can be summarised as helping to make rich so-and-sos richer: "Exceptional service tailored to each client’s needs sits at the very heart of Coutts. The private bank adopts a personal and innovative approach to helping those with wealth to save, borrow and invest their money for themselves, their families and their future. Its people strive to provide the ‘human touch’ every step of the way, supported by technology that makes it easier for clients to manage their ever-changing needs. You are again not either reading or understanding what was written and wasting people’s time. I didn’t say the Coutts Board are admirers of Farage. I said that whoever is involved might be, on a personal level, but that ought not impact them from doing their job.

You have no clue as to the workings of a Risk Committee in the Banking industry, as you continue to demonstrate.

Clearly they were not doing that and the Supreme Court agreed. I knew you wouldn’t understand. The SC overturned the decisions of 2 lower Courts on points of law. We have been through this several times. I am not going to get into it again. If you don’t get it now you never will.

If you don’t get it now you never will. Ashers were charged with discriminating against a homosexual-rights agitator because of his homosexuality. They were found to be innocent of the charge. The key 'point of law' is that they were found not guilty, therefore they did not discriminate as charged - all your waffle and spin does not change that. Edited by georgenorman (01 Aug 2023 8.51am)

Explain how they work, with particular emphasis on how those involved separate their personal beliefs from their professional responsibilities.
