Great. We are in agreement then. Coutts had the right to close the account. Whether it was a wise decision is an entirely different question. I said the very same a while ago but it doesn’t make it right !

The Russian Money allegation was made in the House of Commons by a fervent ' Remainer ' MP under Parliamentary Privilege. And of course, Farage denied receiving it. For that allegation to be made outside of that Privilege would have resulted in more work for Farage's lawyers. As I pointed out several posts ago, Coutts had downgraded Farage from a medium to low risk. There is no additional scrutiny required. You've said this before and I corrected you then. You can continue to spin it or play with words and indeed continue to proffer opinions that don't stack up with facts, that's your prerogative. There were, and still are, smoking guns surrounding the Leave campaign funding. Which I have little doubt our security services know much more about than either of us. Knowing something and proving in court when a huge web of plausible deniability has been woven around it are two very different things. Using Parliamentary Privilege to get that out there was probably the only way to make it known. I think he was fed the information by someone in the security forces. All speculation of course but it makes sense to me, because of the circumstantial evidence. Do you have inside information on how Coutts were grading Farage at the time of the closure, or just in the past? I can imagine him being downgraded after Brexit, him stopping being MEP and failing to become an MP. His visibility and risk declined then. These days he is on a self-promotion jamboree, preparing to re-enter politics on a white horse to save the nation. Big risk.

I meant it was a fact regarding his comments about Brexiteers. If it is not that person I will apologise but if it is, can you categorically say his views will not have any bearing on his enquiry How can anyone say that but as a professional they absolutely must not and whoever appoints them must both trust them and oversee them to ensure there is none.

The official Remain campaign spent over twice as much as Leave. Pitiful. Both campaigns were at liberty to get donations from other supporters.

One of the main Brexit donors was Jeremy Hosking who's a major shareholder at CPFC. Maybe we should be investigated for dodgy investments too.

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. |

The downgrading to Low Risk is in the public domain as it was part of the dossier Farage obtained from Coutts. If he’s preparing to re-enter politics then he may well be re-assessed but whoever conducts that review will need to do so on a fair and unbiased basis

That’s just wrong. You are another who cannot understand the difference between the cause of something and the reason for it. If you want to go back a few pages. The reasons have been explained. They aren’t the opinions themselves. It’s that they are controversial opinions. They could equally be strident left wing opinion as strident right wing. Maybe it's you who can't understand there is no difference. In most people's opinion, what you are saying is pure pedantry. I'm inclined to agree with Matov however. There really is no point debating with a village idiot.

Any evidence for any of this? The smoke from guns tends to drift away over time, and is always difficult to quantify anyway. That’s why plausible deniability is such a powerful weapon. So evidence, no. Strong suspicion, oh yes!
