This Is Incredible !!!

Nigel Farage may be hounded out of the UK

In the long run, I want to hear more from the bank(s) involved, rather than from Farage.

If they won't tell Farage why on earth are they going to tell you?

[Khandro]

Some posts on this thread bare out what N.F. has said; how he is hated and attacked by whining remainers & the banking establishments.

The assumption being, based entirely on their dislike of the man for what he has lawfully done, that he is guilty of any crime any party wishes to level at him, all done without any scrap of evidence for support.

[Hymie]

Of course, if Farage knew Brexit would be an absolute disaster for the UK banking sector, and deliberately kept it to himself – people would think he was an idiot.

[naomi24]

You're making yourself ridiculous, hymie.

[ClareTG0ld]

// If they won't tell Farage why on earth are they going to tell you? //

Clearly they wouldn't, and anyway I haven't asked them directly. But it doesn't change what I'd *want* to hear in order to understand more about what's gone on.

[naomi24]

Perhaps the other seven banks that have rejected him as a customer will enlighten you.

[Zacs-Master]

I would imagine it’s for the same reason.
I suppose it comes down to his realistic you see these two options being:
1. Farage is known to be a risk for some political and/or legal reason.
2. A government missive as been sent to all banks suggesting/instructing them that Farage’s dosh is not to be welcomed.

[Zacs-Master]

‘How’ not his

[ichkeria]

If all I wanted to do was silence Nigel Farage, the last thing I would do would be to stop is bank accounts and give him an excuse to mouth off on his TV programme.
So either it isn't merely that, or someone somewhere is a bit clueless.

chrissakes Woy, I know you are from Oz, but the banks wont talk to you ( or anyone) about Farage's acct

(Actually that occurs in a novel called Middlemarch but that was 1860 for chrissakes, and a book)

[Peter Pedant]

No or yes Naomi ( depending on whether you have contradicted yourself today)
When a bank closes your acct in an MLR affair, you are put on a 'dont touch them list'

did anyone read this?
1. Farage is known to be a risk for some political and/or legal reason.
2. A government missive as been sent to all banks suggesting/instructing them that Farage’s dosh is not to be welcomed.

1. Farage is know to be a risks but no one knows why ( Jesus).
2. A govt missive have been ciriculated about not going near his dosh

Is there any evidence for (2) ? - or is it a diana repeat - of course there is no evidence, coz it secret, see?

Friday on AB conspiracy day

[Ellipsis]

Perhaps one day soon he will relocate to a Caribbean island with an offshore bank account.

And his stated reason will be that the UK forced him out ...

Nothing to do with Russian money or Brexit, obviously.

[Peter Pedant]

took a bit of finding
if any AB children or grandchildren are dumb enough to get blacklisted ( so dumb that they have allowed their accts to be used for an ACF ( accumulated cash fraud))
then this is what you do

cd be looking at some of the Abers - having an acct closed is a really really bum deal.

[Khandro]

Ellipsis //Nothing to do with Russian money or Brexit, obviously.//

Brexit maybe, but you have zero evidence about his taking money from Russians. It's simply a scurrilous attack by unfounded implication based on, 'I don't like him, so he must be guilty of something, - anything will do'.

> Brexit maybe, but you have zero evidence about his taking money from Russians. It's simply a scurrilous attack by unfounded implication based on, 'I don't like him, so he must be guilty of something, - anything will do'.

The irony ... I didn't say he was "taking money from Russians." It's simply a scurrilous attack ... by you.

easy if you accept russian tv is an organ of the state...

[Khandro]

"I smell a rat and am certain something much bigger is going on. For years, I have been falsely accused of having financial links to Russian funding. Even though this is nonsense, MPs have used parliamentary privilege to accuse various people associated with the Brexit campaign of the same thing. Last year, the Labour MP Sir Chris Bryant claimed in the Commons chamber that I received £548,573 in one calendar year “from the Russian state”. Despite my pleas to him and the Speaker to correct this assertion, there has been no retraction.

Has Bryant ever stopped to consider the knock-on effects of his slander? Several of my family members have also had their bank accounts closed. I feel not just anger about this, but also guilt. Once, everybody in the UK was entitled to a bank account. But since the Post Office was privatised, this no longer applies. Without a bank account, you become a non-person, unable to live within the law. In Germany and other countries the right to a bank account still exists. Our law must change.

Be aware: if they are coming for me today, they can come for you tomorrow. If you were to post a political opinion on social media that did not conform to your bank’s “values”, you could find yourself in my position. This happened to a gentleman recently who questioned why his bank was celebrating Pride. He is now being advised by the Free Speech Union."

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

SAY NO TO WOKE


Say no to Woke.

[Peter Pedant]

Yes - or - no - well this is AB
I am happy to say the Nige has been taking lu-la from the Russians, as an employee of Russian tel, which is recognised as a state organ.

I am not one to volunteer: "ew, I hesitate to allege with great temerity...."

[Peter Pedant]

I wish they wd come for Nigel Farage - hur hur hur
and you throw in Meghan as an extra please?

Niemoller is a longer version of
edmund burke (*)

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” It's a quote routinely attributed to Edmund Burke.

bit cerebral for AB,
considering "Perhaps the other seven banks that have rejected him as a customer will enlighten you." plummets the depths of gormlessness - ( data protection ywan)
