Newspapers Are Continuing To Spin The Lie That Farage Was Not To Poor Hold An Account With Coutts
Those of you who followed my previous post on this topic will know that the Coutts 40 page report stated unequivocally that ‘After the expiry of the mortgage with Coutts, Farage would not be a criteria client’ In other words, he would be too poor to hold an account with them – and this was the reason they debanked him.

In case you have been living under a rock for the last 30 plus years, here is a selection of racism/xenophobia from Farage:-
(after all, NJ did ask)
•In 1981, when Nigel was appointed as a prefect at his school, an English teacher wrote to the headteacher asking him to reconsider his decision, citing his fascist views. Another said that on a Combined Cadet Force (CCF) camp organised by the college, Farage and others “marched through a quiet Sussex village very late at night shouting Hitler-youth songs.”
• Skip forward to 2006 – when Nigel became the leader of UKIP, the UK Independence Party. The party is on the far right, and campaigned for the UK to leave the EU. Policies included strict caps on immigration, a five-year ban on unskilled workers, and a five-year wait before migrants could claim benefits.
• In 2013 Nigel said he supports Muslim immigrants who “integrate” into society, but not those that are “coming here to take us over”.
• In a 2014 interview on LBC, Nige said he felt “uncomfortable” when he heard people speaking in other languages on London transport.
• The same year, he said the “basic principle” of Enoch Powell’s infamous anti-immigration “Rivers of Blood” speech was correct.
• In 2014 Nigel also said he would be concerned if Romanian immigrants moved in next door to him.
• The same year, he blamed immigrants for making him late to an event where he was speaking. He said his lateness “has nothing to do with professionalism, what it does have to do with is a country in which the population is going through the roof chiefly because of open-door immigration and the fact that the M4 is not as navigable as it used to be”.
• Nigel called for a ban on people with HIV migrating to the UK. When asked who should be allowed to come to the UK instead, he stated: “People who do not have HIV, to be frank. That’s a good start. And people with a skill.”
• In 2015, Nigel then said that NHS money spent on recent immigrants with HIV would be better placed treating other taxpayers with serious conditions.
• Nigel defended a UKIP candidate who used a racist slur against Chinese people. Referring to the incident, he said: “If you and your mates were going out for a Chinese, what do you say you’re going for?”
• In June 2016, Nigel unveiled an anti-immigrant poster that suggested that immigration was at “Breaking Point”, as part of the leave campaign. The poster was reported to the police on the grounds that it aimed to incite racial hatred.
• He later said in an interview that he “couldn’t be happier” for Donald, whilst describing Barack Obama as a “loathsome individual” and a “creature”.
• Like Tommy Robinson, Nigel has close links with Steve Bannon, Donald’s chief strategist and founder of alt-right news platform Breitbart News.
• In 2017, Nigel came under fire for anti-semitism after an LBC interview in which he described the so-called U.S. “Jewish lobby” as a concern of his.

One thing that can be said for your sources, hymie, is that they are very rarely impartial and the latest is no different. It's no surprise that you don't offer attribution.

bobbinwales – the 40 page Coutts report was from their Wealth Reputational Risk Committee, so not only does the bank have to consider whether those banking with them have the required funds – but also whether they represent a reputational risk to the bank. Hence much of the report on Farage was about his negative publicity in the press, including his racist/xenophobic views – which could also negatively affect them as his bank.
But as I have repeated ad nauseam, Farage was debanked because he was too poor.
