Billy Jean King Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 BBC gave him a platform on Newsnight last night and what a rip roaring c**t of it he made. Tone set in just 4 seconds when out trotted "Corbenista" and it was then a "woke" "remoaner" "lefty" "globalist" strewn rant that would have left Trump himself embarrassed. He's a total far right fruit loop who did nothing to evidence his claims. Coutts are well rid on that showing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So somebody who is no longer an MEP, never been an MP and is no longer relevant to anything gets to appear on Newsnight to talk about problems he is having with his bank. Bizarre. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotiaNostra Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I was thinking the same, the stories we get in the media now seem to be social media run only, anything that has legs on social media becomes the top story so we have non stories like Gary Linekars views on whatever, Farage banking etc etc. Stories that would be a tiny article on page 9 of a newspaper 20 years ago now getting top spots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddyCapri Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) A lot of folks eating humble pie as Farage receives an apology. Well done to much of the public for rallying behind him. Cancelling peoples bank accounts because of their political views is an absolute joke. It must stop now. The fightback starts!

Yet, when somebody is denied a service from a company because of something like their sexual orientation or race, those same members of the public are quick to come out and defend that companies right to choose who they serve and who they don't under the guise of capitalism. Funny that. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Farage as Robin Hood. Never imagined I would see the day. The people treated horrifically by the banks are not those who don't have quite enough but those who hardly have anything at all. Fantastic. New improved Farage. Champion of the poor. Get to it. On you go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fightback starts! 1) Apology for comments recorded. 2) Account not reinstated. 3) Offered alternate arrangements with NatWest" 4) Farage’s tapdance around a question on his wealth confirms he’s below the threshold. 5) Humble pie most certainly not on the menu. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Farage boaby sucker is the singular most bizarre stance I think I've seen even allowing for your sock puppet status. So did Nige mention if Coutts were apologetic enough to reopen his account, nah thought not . Take it you have closed your high street bank account in solidarity ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's as much "clout" as Farage ie absolutely none. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotiaNostra Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Farage wont "win" but it It will negatively impact Coutts and probably some of their employees. I would doubt it will encourage other banks to do the same and Coutts will probably clarify it so as to avoid doing it again to anyone else. Id guess a lot of their customers could fall foul of it, which would be a good thing but unlikely something that Coutts want to follow through on and lose customers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
