I see he goes for the "I was in 'Nam....Chelt'nam!" pundit pose.

Others include the "Ooh look a sparrow" (stare hopefully into the sky while smiling slightly) and the Heffer Special (glasses on, and stare down the lens like Paxman going in for the kill). The "Cornish Coren Curmudgeon" (hand on chin, head tilted, expression of wry amusement) is a popular one among middle aged males, while the "Why, Miss Zelda, you're beautiful!" has its fans in the Glenda Slagg community.

One could look at that front page and reach the conclusion that the only freedom they consider is the freedom to be a bit of a cunt

It's certainly unusual to find a front page where every picture contains a majority of cunts.

Why’s Comrade Timothy on a mission to bring down capitalism, is it too woke?

Hopefully, more like a load of his shares and investments are turning to shit

Is there yet any evidence that banks don't respect the free speech of Farage? Is it more likely that some Remain-minded Mr Big phoned all the banks up, or that something about Farage has set off alarm bells?

There seems a fairly coordinated synthetic response from the right's nu-media.

The usual newspapers, nu-telly and websites playing the freeze peach card.

I suspect bot-farms are involved too.
I visited one of Chairman Farage's early YouTube whinges.
A majority of comments are strongly supportive.
Of those a majority are remarkably similar - with about three forms of comment and a consistent 8 letter 4 number username convention.

That's normal for YT now - my user name on YT was changed into name+4digits with their introduction of "handles".

It looks like Tommy Robinson's supporters have jumped on the bandwagon claiming that Tommy can't get a bank account because of his views. They seem to conveniently forget that Robinson has a conviction for mortgage fraud which could well prove to be a hurdle to opening a bank account especially for a man who doesn't appear to have a proper job and who changes his name on a regular basis.

Maybe not as sinister as I through then.
I've somehow avoided getting handelized (so far).

Well, who would have thought it? Turns out that Falange has had the media and the front bench dancing to his tune when all the time he knew he simply didn't have the class to bank with Coutts.

[Youngian]

That’s class in the Marxist sense, not enough dosh. Staff not having to deal with this grubby oik being a bonus.
There’s nutter responses on that thread saying Coutts are in on the blob conspiracy. Pigeon chess.

[Tubby Isaacs]

I wouldn't be surprised if they made this entirely clear to him.

All he seems to be disputing now is that they offered him a Nat West account straight away. Not the most serious thing in the world, really. Has he named all the banks that turned him down yet?

[Youngian]

“We’re a woke bank, Mr Farage so take your £2.8m elsewhere,” probably didn’t happen.

Sounds like an ill thought out swipe at Coutts that got out of hand so Nige had to build on his original fiction to cover his arse.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

It seems that he has admitted that he was'cancelled' because he didn't have enough spondoolicks.

His entitlement, and the gullibility of his gammonites is off the scale. Especially Brillo, who seems to have drunk the LeTiss Kool-Aid.

[Youngian]

The Mail used to have a frosty relationship with Farage and wasn’t in the business of promoting him over the Tories. Can’t be choosey Charlie about allies when they dwindle. Has a last stand feel about it especially when your most senior hope for tomorrow is Suella Braverman.

[davidjay]

You mean he's been lying?

[Youngian]

A lie you’d assume Farage would know is going to surface as he’s not a six year old. They’re losing their minds, aren’t they?

[safe_timber_man]

Yet his supporters are still defending him. The goalposts have now been moved to "how dare a bank discuss a customers private finances with the BBC" (they didn't). It's all very embarrassing.

[Tubby Isaacs]

He may have been relying on them not discussing client business, and seen it as a free hit. They haven't, as such. Somebody from there (most likely) has leaked it to the BBC, who've put it to him. Surprised he didn't deny it and force them to comment officially.
