Zacs-Master; OK, it wasn't 'EU generated', but it was EU adopted, & because the UK is an erstwhile member, that is the reason it still applies. So your observation;

//The simple fact is’ that if Farage hadn’t campaigned to take us out of the EU, he’d still have a legal right to one.//

is nonsense - which was my my point - & the UK, now no longer being tied to the EU could if it wishes, unilaterally opt out.

[Zacs-Master]

I’ve no idea what your trying to say. It is an unequivocal fact that if we were still an EU member, Farage would have legal protection to having a bank account. Well done for admitting you were completely wrong on the EU inventing PEP tho!

Khandro
The FATF anti corruption initiatives were adopted worldwide (see above). The UK put them into legislation in 2017 when we had already voted to leave.
It is now clear that Farage has no idea what a ‘Politically exposed person’ is. He claims to have been designated it but almost certainly hasn’t because he is not important enough. He cannot have be identified as PEP, so that cannot be the reason his bank closed his account.

Zacs-Master //It is an unequivocal fact that if we were still an EU member, Farage would have legal protection to having a bank account. //
More nonsense from you. Why, as the UK and the EU are both signatories to the PEP arrangement, would he have more legal protection in the EU than he has in the UK ?

There is a myth that anyone can have a bank account in the EU, but for example in Germany, & probably all other member states;

"If you're bankrupt or have a record of fraud, you will not usually be allowed to open a bank account. Also, you may be refused permission to open a current account if you have a poor credit rating."



I confess I didn't even know what a PEP was until last week, did you, or anyone?

Update that will be ignored by the haters.

Roy; Why do you like Farage? Why do you defend him? Why do you attack those who think he is not good?
I'm not attacking you. I'm just asking questions. I'd really like to know what you think.

I have a feeling Roy that it may feature in the daily newspapers tomorrow royfromaus. In the UK anyway. It may not feature in the backward, unsafe countries.

[royfromaus]

Why do you attack those who think he is not good?


WTAF?

Oh dear ….

More coverage from GB News.

[THECORBYLOON]

In that Twitter link, Farage claims, 'In an explosive 40 page memo, “Brexit” is mentioned 86 times, “Russia” 144 & “PEP” 10.'

Yet in his video, he states,
"Brexit is mentioned thirty times...Russia is mentioned twenty-two times...Politically Exposed Person five times."

Which is it then?

[Togo]

Was he using the Coutts calculator in one of the sums?

[Khandro]

Who in their right mind will want to open an account with Coutts today, knowing that it could be poking its nose into your public persona to see whether you align with the right values?

Hymie seems to have gone quiet, I wonder why?

Once again the country has to be thankful to Nigel: that is unless you don't have your head screwed on right.
