Farage has bank accounts closed

Ahem, all banks share the same sanctions and suspicious persons list, it’s the law. Either he’s triggered a compliance problem for money laundering, funding terrorism or funding modern slavery (and become a subject of the “you must report suspicion protocol”) or someone is having the laugh of the centuary.

Don’t you folks do your financial crime training?

Edit, or he’s just playing fantasy victim like all the other Kippers, Johnson etc because he can see the writing on the wall? I mean this lot should seriously grow up.

The interesting thing about Farage is he was like many of the skeptics on here years ago, taking joy in his political enemies getting their accounts shut down.

He attacked Le Pen in France saying the FN had Russian bank accounts. The reason she had to use Russian banks is because all the French banks refused her and her party banking facilities.

He's probably realising now that he was a patsy and is now surplus to requirements.

I see all the usual forum socialist simps have crawled out of the woodwork to recite the early verses of the collective version of the narcissists prayer .....


You know...

"That didn't happen."
"And if it did, it isn't a bad thing"

We can't say in this particular case whether this is a case of 'debanking' for political views held or not but what is true, without doubt, is that financial companies, social media companies and delivery platforms like membership platforms and ticket selling companies have engaged in refusing or cancelling otherwise legal services because the people involved held the 'wrong' views.

We have also seen that these actions have often been temporally coordinated across multiple different platforms and that there have been concerted efforts within the wider financial payment processing systems with key players like Paypal, Visa and Stripe to prevent 'alternative' platforms from being able to function that would otherwise offer service to people.

It's long past time for the provisions of the equalities act to be amended with the revisions of the religious belief section to be changed to include making it illegal to discriminate on the basis of any legal political position or belief (or lack thereof) unless some very good reasons apply.

That type of opening gambit doesn't make it easy to take anything that follows as being serious.

We need more facts rather than just the word of Farage.

I have already addressed the potential veracity of Farage's claims.


What can not be in dispute however is that these sorts of activities are being undertaken against some people and groups already.

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

Source?

Because as I understood it it was only the actual protestors that had their accounts frozen and not people who donated.

After weeks of disruption as well. I bet you hate the UK government crack down on slow walking and stuff like that!

Sorry you will have to try constructing a more meaningful sentence than that if we are to undertand what exactly you are trying to say.

I have already been clear that the particular circumstances of this case may not be as described by Farage.

But the withdrawal/ cancellation of key services provided by major companies has undeniably been misused to attempt to stifle some legal political opinions and positions.

See my previous post, I explain it there.

Edit: examples please for people who are not on the official sanctions list or people who don’t pass onboarding compliance?

You may be right though, he might just be making it up for the attention.

The banks have been called out for far more by people with far better reputations and done nothing.

Farage isn't as special as he like to think he is.

Well when the other party involved in the 'bag full of money' incident he called out happened to be the King (Prince of Wales at the time), I doubt very much how self important Farage is or isn't comes into it....

Prince Charles given €3m in cash in bags by Qatari politician, according to report

Money was passed immediately to one of the prince’s charities, says Clarence House

You really didn't did you..... I was already clear that Farage's case might not be as he claimed.

But the wider issue clearly does exist

Asking for impossible proof isn't a great tactic. Typically people aren't told why such companies have withdrawn service so they can only speculate as to why.....


Pehaps it's time to ditch the Kafkaesque system where people can be punished without knowing the reason why eh?

We no longer permit our justice system to punish people who don't know what they are accused of so it should not be permissible to have private companies do it, often in concerted efforts, either. Especially in a digital world where we are increasingly reliant on these services to participate fully in society.

Like I said, do some online Financial Crime training. Oh and stop being such a snowthingy.

Farage is an authoritarian when it suits him right?

Has it actually been confirmed that his accounts have been closed or are we believing a liar without evidence?

It's more likely he's decided to emigrate because he helped break the country and this is a way to do it without losing face whie also riling up halfwits.

Do you actually believe what you've written in your own post?
