And he knows full well a bank can't publicly discuss an individuals account. He's really playing up to the audience. The man has fallen so far over the years in my book.
Indeed, there's only one person that can come out clearly and say what bank it was, and that is Farage himself making public the notification that his account is being closed. Otherwise it's Trumpian style grifting/bollocks by default.

If it is Coutts/RBS then they have no idea of the world of pain that is about to confront them.
Yeah, I bet they're quaking. Bank's don't mess with accounts unless there's a suspicion of dodgy stuff or sanctions have been imposed. And let's face it, although Farage has been a massive boil on the arse of British politics for about 20 years, he is actually small fry on the grand scheme of things so why would a bank who probably has accounts with absolute billionaires waste their time and energy on him unless they had to.

And yet boycotting Mail/GBeebies advertisers is cancel culture.

Farage can name Coutts (you see what I did there?) and the other 6 banks, if he wants to, and release every correspondence he's had with them.

I'm no expert on money laundering rules, but I'd be surprised if the rules didn't say basically "You need to stop the accounts, and you don't have to say why".

Eh? He was the editor of the Sunday Times with a circulation of 1.6 million and an Insight Team which vied with Panorama for the accolade as being the finest in the land.

Now, he is crawling up Farage's fundament from his bolt-hole in the south of France. The man is a toilet.

Jesus, the snowball has started and this is going to get so tedious and fact free:


EXCLUSIVE: Major British building society admits it IS closing accounts of people who 'are rude or discriminate' amid uproar as banks are accused of dumping customers including Nigel Farage over their views on Brexit and LGBT issues

Talk about being being misleading.
We would only make the difficult decision to close a savings account if a customer is rude, abusive, violent or discriminates in any way, based on the specific facts and behaviour in each case.'
" Rude, abusive, violent or discriminates" - I may be wrong but I'd have thought what they're referring to here is being rude or discriminate to staff at the bank?

But anyway, all a load of bollocks obviously but the generic statement from this bank is quite easy to manipulate to create a disingenuous headline for thickos to get angry about and not bother reading any further.

If they did, and had half a brain, they'd have made it this far into the article and realise it's all a load of shite:
Yorkshire Building Society today declined to comment on the case but a spokesman said: 'We do not close savings accounts based on different opinions regarding beliefs.

Yeah, but he also bought the fake Goebbels diaries and had David Irving verify them.
