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

I think Farage may come to regret all of this. He has made some very powerful enemies, and not the obvious ones, people who don't work out in the open.

farage seems to want to remove the earning restrictions that being a PEP places on someone and is looking for less regulation overall.

They also seem to be using the entirely non-existant example of a left wing politician losing access to exclusive banking services in a reaching whataboutery.

They keep on talking about being "de-banked" when this hasn't happened (I mean, anyone using that phrase now has to be a certifiable idiot, farage still has access, by law, to bank accounts).

I imagine some think that clucking "woke banks" is a vote getter when all the woke-y politicians have been absolute failures over the past few years.

Some may take it as an opportunity to move to swiss style secretive banking (no more panama papers exposure).

The banks themselves may just further abandon the UK and it's gang of loons after the brexit disaster.

To quote the great Ronald Reagan “There you go again” labelling people who happen to disagree with your viewpoint.

17.4 million people voted for Brexit, are you saying that that the majority of them are racists, bigots and xenophobes?

This is the problem with your lot, you think that you can silence people who happen to have different viewpoints to yours by slapping one of your labels on them. The problem is by doing this repeatedly in situations where it is neither valid or merited you devalue your position to the point where people stop listening to you and get motivated to set the record straight. It’s already happening in the UK where what I would classify as the silent majority are finally saying “we’ve had enough of this bs” and are fighting back to set the record straight.

As someone said the demand for racism far exceeds the supply in the UK and Ireland so you have all these organisations making money off the back of the supposed racism problem. Before the usual suspects start getting their knickers in a twist, nobody is claiming that there is not racism in either of these countries, but it is a tiny percentage of the population.

The modern world is now full of people who have nothing better to do than engage in what Bill Maher calls “presentism” ie making moral/ethical judgements about the conduct of people in the past based on current norms, we even have one poster on this thread happily announcing that his parents are racists FFS.

Konstatine Kisin from the Triggernometry Podcast also lost their Bank account without satisfactory reason

What was the unsatisfactory reason? The banks are required by law to provide the reasons and data (in most circumstances).

Did they lose their current account? Or banking services?

Anti Brexit campaigner Gina miller calls on government to intervene after losing her bank account. All the tree huggers will be out in force now the shoe is on the other foot, setting fire to the banks and glueing themselves to the roads and all sorts.

It is obviously systemic and people of all kinds are caught up in the net. It's not just about Nigel Farage, ironically he has given his voice for everyone. Funny as **** honestly.

Got to be odds on for knighthood now surely.

Anybody that is caught up in it is just as bad, this is what you can't get your head around. You are attacking the man because you don't like his political beliefs, most normal people don't care. If it happened a bloke who likes to dress up in suspenders, it does not concern me, it's just as bad.

Time everyone got behind Nigel's crusade for justice for everyone, just a matter of time before he get's back into politics now i reckon.

Did you read their reason ?
