Nigel Farage cries persecution, nobody wants to be his banker after ties to Russia

Ouch, does rather cut a swathe through what I said about banks liking people with titles.

I would suggest though that being from a Russian noble family is probably an exception to that idea at the moment. And her ex-husband apparently being a billionaire 'oligarch' would be a red-flag as well. Whilst she says he doesn't 'pay a penny' to her, that may not be a phrase to be taken literally.

Ah now. He wouldnt do that.

Hes been complaining about people repeating posts for days in the "what happened to boards" thread.

He wouldn't be hypocritical now would he?

I find it difficult to think of any "normal", genuinely wealthy people who would set themselves up in a nixer charging 30 quid or whatever to give shout out "Up the Ra" messages.

I am so happy that people are now referring to him as a spiv.

While the likes of Cameo could, it theory, be used to launder dodgy income, it would need to be paid to him through that system.

e.g if dodgy entity A wanted to give Nige 100k, and he charges 100 quid per message, they could pay for 1000 messages through that system.

It would have zero use as a generic explanation as to where he got the money for the beamer in the driveway unless he has the paper trail.

I'm sure we can all think of reasons why Farage might not want his banker's unedited opinions about him published to the world.

Evidently Farage is happy to let the world know that his banker thinks he is "regarded as racist and xenophobic". (Farage can't sue the bank for defamation over this because it is Farage, not the bank, that has published this claim.) If he's willing to publish that kind of stuff about himself, what must it say in the parts of the document that he's not publishing?

My guess the part where he’s no longer wealthy enough to be worth their efforts is what he probably wouldn’t want out there and would prefer to drown that out with cries of “Woke Bank! Wooooke! Cancel Culture! (I’m somewhat broke) WOOOOOOKE!”

In fairness a person’s bank balance shouldn’t be public knowledge, even with Farage, but he’s playing with fire behaving this way about being demoted to NatWest (I assume). If he were smarter about this he should have just gone to the normal bank account and not scream to the rafters about something connected to his personal data like this. Plenty other things to scream about being “Leftie” “Woke” “Marxist” (insert silly argument here)

"In an explosive 40 page memo, “Brexit” is mentioned 86 times, “Russia” 144 & “PEP” 10. "

I wonder how many times "wanker" is mentioned?

He's given himself away there.

I'd imagine if they are more concerned about his Russian connections than his views on Brexit, there is a whole other angle which he is not going into.

He could do us all a favour and upload the forty page document and let people scrawl through it instead of so kindly summarising it for us.
