Farage has bank accounts closed

[Raz]

What law?

We're in the area were private businesses are running essential services, banking in this case, so they can make their own rules up depending on whatever political grounds they want. They don't have to give a reason.

That is the problem. When we move to a cashless society are you happy that a bank can decide what you can or can't purchase?

If we get a far right government in and the country swings back to victorian morals. Eventually anyone promoting anything outside of religious values would be seen as a disruptive person. They go on to social media and see you've wrote verboten things. Then when you go to your banking app you'll get the message 'Sorry, we have no record of this account'.

That is where we're heading. People like Farage and others are the easy targets. The canary in the coal mine. It's to get all the people who don't like Farage, and the people who don't care, to accept it as the new reality, as surely it'll never happen to them...

Any person expressing anti government views will be susceptible to this at some point, no matter what your politics is.

As said before it's happened to plenty of people, the difference is that they often try to find out what the issue is rather than moan about persecution.

Let's take a second here.

What do I find more likely, that he has somehow entwined his finances with a suspicious source and that has caused multiple banks to all flag the same thing when checked or that a sinister cabal of bank CEOs sat around a table, at least one of them stroking a white cat laughing maniacally while deciding that they would all refuse to do business with him as revenge for a Brexit he didn't enact?

Oh yeah, gotta be the later.

“if” they have closed it without cause - then the bank should be fined.

Banks with Couts You need a minimum of 1 million cash to open and keep an account there.His supporters threatening a boycott is frankly hilarious

Do you people actually think this is government involvement here?

How do explain you all the people even worse than Farage that still have bank accounts?

Farage is nothing now. He is a two bit presenter on a terrible propaganda TV show that has the Deputy chairman of the Conservative Party as a presenter as well. Think people think.

What's shocking? That someone's account has been closed? Otherwise you're committing to something not yet proven.

im shocked this can actually happen that banks can blacklist you and effectively force you either find overseas bank or move out of uk, yet the banks gladly allow well dodgy characters to hold accounts in, well russian ones are frozen, but even high ranking chinese have uk accounts, personally this is the thin end of the wedge.

its only i saw it here that i knew this happens,doesnt seem to be on the news

Wake up, we're a surveillance stated funded by Russia. We have Russian KGB agents literally in the house of Lords.

Perhaps it's because he's a criminal?

Let's say someone uses their bank account to launder money... is it wrong for the bank to stop serving that person?

Not saying Farage did that, but locking people's accounts for suspicious activity is not uncommon enough to say 'LITERALLY CHINA'.

well if he did he deserves it, do we have why this happened

 

[Jonny2284]

No, that's kind of the point.

Right now all we have is Farage's claim it's personal and any form of persecution, which between his previous allegiances and record with the truth, let's just say I find unsatisfying.

 

[StriderX]

Who knows... I doubt the bank(s?) in question will say anything and I'm not quite ready to believe Farage.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What about those people donating to the Canada Truckers demonstration? They had their bank accounts locked.

 

[MCFC_ANDY]

christ even charles bronson has a bank accout n hes well dodgy, what a ****** up country we live in

 

[Jonny2284]

At this point maybe you should just switch to gbeebies and listen to Farage's bedtime story since you clearly aren't interested in any take besides his.

Fair enough, but given that it happens all the time anyway it's probably not that newsworthy. That said, the only reason it's actually in the news is because he's released that video, no doubt to whip up support from his supporters to help him face the persecution he's having to endure. Plus, he needs to keep this up before he fades away.
