So he wins again.

A little bit more of Britain dies.

[Andy McDandy]

To paraphrase Sartre, it's hard to argue (or reason, debate, indulge in civil discourse) with a thug (I think that basically sums up the mentality we're against) because they're never doing so in good faith - they're just waiting to get bored and tell you to fuck off or punch you in the face.

In his weekend column, the Fat Cunt weighed in on Fargle's side, saying that as Coutts was part-owned by NatWest, that meant it was part owned by the state, therefore DEMOCRASSEEE FREEZE PEACH and not so elite any more (complete with 'jokey' anecdote of him and his chums buying sticky buns from Eton's tuck shop with 50p Coutts cheques). Then a load of "Trump will be back, so there, lefties" crap.

[Watchman]

So is Cunt Face now going to fight for all asylum seekers to have bank accounts in order for them to become taxpayers here

[Bones McCoy]

Seriously, how in the actual fuck has all of this been deserving of headline news, with Cunty McCuntface now making demands of the NatWest board? By far the biggest manufactured controversy in the UK so far this decade, if not longer.

It helps a lot when you have one or more tame broadcast networks in your corner.
It helps a lot more when the rest of the broadcast media give the obvious tame shills a veil of credibility by echoing their talking points.

"Just saying what people are thinking".

[RedSparrows]

It's all about feeding that vague, febrile, confused state of 'life's so unfair, and it's... it's... IT'S THEM WOT DONE IT'.

'Our hero is besmirched by the lefty powers that be! To arms, fellow yeomen! That'll solve our crippling sense of inadequacy, our mortgage rates, our potholed roads, our teenage childrens' resentment!' (now often with added 'fight the globalists, Margery!' to boot).

Farage as a figurehead for the disenchanted and the dispossessed has always been a sick joke, this is a near-pitch-black perfection of it.

[Boiler]

I see that he's now calling for the *whole* of the Nat West board to resign. Their share price has fallen.

I bet that shit Sunak will back him, too.

There's never a fucking asteroid coming towards the planet when you want one, is there?

[safe_timber_man]

Snowflake.

[Boiler]

Doesn't matter - the harlot analogy applies. The BBC will be his next target (aided by a slavering client media), just you watch.

I was sitting at the bus stop just now and two young girls turned up and sat next to me. I wondered despairingly just what kind of a fucked-up world we're leaving for them but as they barged past me to get on the bus, I thought "maybe they'll fit in just fine."

[davidjay]

Just what hold does he have over them? It can't just be needing to keep his headbangers onside; it must be something bigger than that.

[Boiler]

Of whom?

[Andy McDandy]

Just what hold does he have over them? It can't just be needing to keep his headbangers onside; it must be something bigger than that.

The very established establishment. Remember Sir Jimmy Fishpaste Goldsmith? Him of the Referendum Party? Remember how Alan Sked was nudged out of UKIP to turn it from an economic pressure group into a reactionary right wing party? Remember the links between Carrie Johnson and the Aspinalls (of Lucan fame) and their "nature reserves" in the more lawless parts of Africa, and the whole murky pile of hedge funds, paper companies in the bottom of a drawer, the PPE fraud, Crapita and G4S (an offshoot of extremely iffy US company Wackenhut) cleaning up public sector contracts, Michelle bloody Mone...

[mattomac]

At least Labour aren’t interested in it.

So I assume it seems to be an infection solely on that side. Just have to get rid.

Idris Elba Cast As Nigel Farage In Movie About Coutts Bank Scandal

https://southendnewsnetwork.net/2023/07 ... IqCOu0w8CM

A source within a major Hollywood studio has confirmed that the English actor Idris Elba has been chosen to play Nigel Farage in an upcoming biographical movie about the Coutts banking scandal.

He also said that the star of The Wire and Luther has the option to remain in the role should there be any further movies in the franchise.

Yes: It's a spoof.
I like it because Farage and his fanboys would hate it.

[davidjay]

Now here's a shock:

[Youngian]

Give this software to all savings account depositors and cut out the middle man

However, it is understood Marshall Wace’s bet against NatWest is mostly computer-driven.

The hedge fund has software it calls TOPS (Trade Optimised Portfolio System), which analyses the views of analysts and economists and gives indications where to invest.

Elba’s breakthrough role was as Russell ‘Stringer’ Bell, a social climbing crook who wasn’t as smart as he thought he was.

"But, but, but! The NatWest belongs to the taxpayer", or so the narrative went until the evening of July 25th.

24 hours later and with Farage, Hunt, and Sunak having wiped a billion quid off its value, that strand of the story seems to have gone quiet. Weird.

And the Farage - Young - Sunak - Schapps - Braverman axis' antics have depressed the taxpayer's shareholding by an estimated £300 million.

Ritchie once again demonstrates his silicon valley Midas touch.

[Youngian]

Why is Labour sticking its oar in with obfuscating whataboutery?
‘No one gives a stuff about Farage and his posho bank account,’ will do fine.

I woke early today. Lecky-fag, coffee, slash, and back to the pit for the start of the Today Programme.

I swear that they were quoting a loss approaching £900m. Either which way, it's the Kwasification of a bank which was finally minding its own business.

EDIT; duh, yes. £300 million is that 30-odd percent stake.
