Behind the Debanking of Nigel Farage By Richard Miller (London)
Earlier in the year, Brexit and globalist critic, Nigel Farage was suspended, debanked it is now called, by his bank Coutts, a private bank owned by NatWest. At the time it as said that his political views had nothing to do with the cancellation, but Farage has fought this, and NatWest boss Dame Alison Rose has now resigned. But as well, Farage submitted a subject access request to NatWest and got some interesting material about staff at the bank who were rejoicing over his cancelation. For example, one of the comments was, “Have you all seen Nigel Farage’s Twitter? No one will bank him now. Have we single handedly drive NF out of the country?!”
Hopefully Farage will undertake a massive law suit now; the bankers deserve it!
“Bosses at NatWest were last night facing calls from Nigel Farage to suspend staff who joked about wanting to “throw a milkshake” at him after a bombshell document revealed how staff privately boasted about having potentially “driven him out of the country”. The Mail has the story.
Another message said they would “pay” to be the person who told him he was not welcome to use the firm.
The internal conversations come after the former UKIP and Brexit Party leader was dropped in June by Coutts, a private bank owned by NatWest, over his views.
They were reported by GB News last night after Mr. Farage, a presenter on the channel, submitted a subject access request to NatWest for all the information the bank holds on him.
In one conversation, according to GB News, a bank staffer said: “I’d throw a milkshake at him if I was approached to open an account for him.”
Another referred to a BBC article about Mr. Farage having his bank account closed and said: “Hope that knocked him down a peg or two.” Another, which appears to be part of a WhatsApp group, said: “Have you all seen Nigel Farage’s Twitter? No one will bank him now. Have we single handedly drive NF out of the country?!”
And one staff member suggested Mr. Farage had “dodgy Russian connections”, which he has vehemently denied. He was also described as “sketchy” and workers referred to him as a “crackpot” and an “awful human being”. Mr. Farage claims he was turned down by ten other banks for an account amid the scandal.
Mr. Farage lost his account at Coutts, whose clients include members of the Royal Family, after an internal report said his views did not align with the bank’s values and he was “transphobic”.
The row led to the resignation of NatWest boss Dame Alison Rose after she falsely told a journalist Mr. Farage’s views had not been a factor in the loss of his account. This week the board of the bank, which is 38.6% owned by the taxpayer, will meet to discuss her exit package. But last night Mr. Farage told the Mail that it was the “woke” culture under Dame Alison’s leadership which contributed to the “vile” comments by staff.”
