BFTD Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Yeah, this is just a desperate attempt to return to relevance. He'll be laughed at and use it as a reason to start some kind of bank reform party (but only ones for very rich c***s, he doesn't care about the idiots who vote for him). Loving the eejit/bot who keeps signing up new accounts on a Scottish football forum to stan for Nigel fucking Farage, only to keep getting banned 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed and told them I tried not to. They were not amused. My request was declined. Understandable I suppose.

TxRover Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 5 hours ago, Salt n Vinegar said: I'm not a lawyer but although, yes, there are civil liberties implications for everyone if service providers take political views into account, I would have thought that Farage would only have a case if he could demonstrate that he had been denied service because of a legally protected characteristic. If the bank said no because of Farage's colour or religion, presumably the bank would be in bother. I'm not sure that's the case in the reasons the bank has had to reveal though. Many years ago when dealing with a particularly awkward customer, a former boss of mine said that although the bloke was an annoying idiot, even annoying idiots have rights. However, this bank is far from the only provider of these services AND has offered services (admittedly less “personalised”) with a sister company. As of often said, speech is widely protected, consequences are widely allowed. You elect to be a racist, xenophobic c**t, there is a greater than zero possibility that people will not wish to do business with you. The more money you have, the better chance people will hold their noses…the more raging you are, the better chance they’ll tell you to f**k off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) I actually tried to open an account with Coutts having maxed out my cards and overdrafts with every bank I could think off every time a new uni term's grant cheque came in. They politely suppressed their sniggers. Edited July 19, 2023 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 My maw got her Barclays current account closed once because she had a long-term illness and her wage stopped going in every month. Just shut the account and left a cheque for the balance at the branch. She didn't even get the offer of a transfer to a NatWest account like Farage. I'm guessing this is the first time it's happened to the former finance industry's finest. Must be a sair yin to have been outed as too poor for the wealthy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I actively hope Farage was, and continues to be, persecuted. Also, private banking should be illegal. No I haven’t thought this through or done any research, but I’m not willing to discuss or change my mind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, they probably reassess every account that drops below the threshold and decided, on balance, they'd rather get shot of the c**t. It's not like they didn't offer him a pleb account instead, he would still have been able to function just fine, I guess the lounge bar staff wouldn't have been quite as impressed by a Nat West card though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that just like a broken watch Ole Nige seems to have been correct on this one - wonder if we'll see a new gentler Farage? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 So to summarise.... We absolutely MUST be free to criminalise people, in contravention of International Law, for entering this particular landmass by a method we don't approve of. Banks and other businesses must absolutely NOT be free to cease providing service to a mad racist. Cancelling for me but not for thee, says Nigel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been given special treatment for years, presumably because a mate got him in there in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I'm confused, are banks good or bad now? They were great when they wrecked the global economy and peoples lives and needed bailed out by public money. Also great when closing off Russia to the global banking system. Private bank emptying a known xenophobe and grifter with questionable liquidity and income sources with a brand they deem toxic for their business and now they're heathens? Nah, total distraction tactic and scrambling for relevance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 My bank account's been absolutely shite since the thing that Lord Toady campaigned for happened. Where's my national TV coverage? Eh? EH?

The reality is his deposits dropped below Coutts threshold, he tried to bring it above the threshold, but then wouldn't admit where he got the money from. The number of c***s defending this charlatan never ceases to amaze me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 At the TSB, I told them how I originally thought it was actually TSP and so for me they would always be the Teaspoon Bank. No sense of humour. They threw me out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
