Why on earth would any of those things happen? A bank account was closed. How many people only have one account? How difficult would it be to open another account or make other arrangements? No money has been lost. It’s more of a nuisance than any kind of a major problem. I suspect many people only have 1 account, I do, as do my family. Why would we have more? Do know no money has been lost?

In that nobody died, that’s true, but it was never the case in the bakery case. That was always about exposing discrimination. There was no discrimination involved with Farage. He wasn’t debanked for his opinions. He was debanked because those opinions were controversial. If they were controversial left wing opinions he would have been equally at risk. Of course, Farage claims otherwise and people like you buy his spinning so there’s little chance of you seeing that. So controversial opinions are deemed u suitable for a bank account, I consider many views on the trans issue controversial, if I ran a bank would it be acceptable in your eyes for me to close accounts of those who hold the views? Surely if that is discrimination so is closing Farage’s account

He refused went to the press, disclosed his own personal data, to make a story out of something quite minor. The fact that the govt and most media have jumped all over this, just shows all the friends he has in high places. As a business owner it is perfectly acceptable to refuse business

Whereas the bakers were found not guilty of discrimination by the Supreme Court.

Seems a lot of people don't agree with you. Funny then that not only has Farage got his old account back but the bank have been heavily criticised, CEO gone and new laws are in the offering.....plus Farage is probably going to be compensated. So I guess if you thought what they did was a good idea then I'd stay away from any consultancy jobs. Edited by Stirlingsays (04 Aug 2023 10.18pm)

No money has been lost. It’s more of a nuisance than any kind of a major problem. A lot were allegedly business accounts. When suppliers or subbies arnt paid you lose business and potentially the whole company. Business accounts are not that easy to set up as they potentially have a lot more evidence needed and come with special conditions and even overdrafts to help with cash flow.

These top bankers are paid ridiculous sums of money as it is and if they are asleep at the wheel or as in this case steering it into nonsensical waters like here they deserve all they lose.

Any compensation will be partially funded by the taxpayer. For me it should come from the pockets of the senior management and board. There will be many, like me, moving funds out of Natwest in response to this farce
