Imagine getting asked to resign cos you'd barred that shitheel from your pub.
This is why we have chocolate coins.Let them eat bank accounts
Irrelevant. The fact that it happens to others as well doesn't make it right. A bank account is a necessity nowadays and the right to one is recognised in law. Banks should not be interfering with that because of a customer's political views, whether it be Farage or whoever else. It's not up to them to act as some kind of thought police.
I think the law should give us the right to a basic cake.
But the law gives us the right to basic banking services, not the right to open any account at any bank.
That said, those decisions are generally made on financial history, and I rather doubt that Farage would share the profile of most people who have basic bank accounts.
However, these are private companies. All private companies can make decisions based on reputational risk. As long as people have access to what the law entitles them to, why should banks be any different to other private companies?
It's fairly clear that they made the wrong decision here, but I would still just about fall on the side of them being able to make that call.
But basic banking services were not withdrawn. The Coutts account is not considered a basic bank account, and that service is provided within that group by Natwest, with whom Farage was offered an alternative service.
Man of the people......????????I know that, but he likes to come across as a man of the people who looks after the working class.

Looks after the working class......??????
'Kinell!!!!!! He's a right wing cunt who did so much to visit the disgraceful br*x*t on this country, and loves sucking up to the likes of Trump/Johnson.
I never suggested you did say that, mate. I was just venting about bastards like him, with their bullshit 'man of the people', 'good bloke' shtick that fooled too many idiots before. If people cannot see him and his ilk for the poisonous cunts they really are, they should get down to Specsavers.I didn't say he was one, I said he likes to come across as one.
