Can we please come to an agreement on this forum.

Trust his words or don't trust his words.

I dont trust his words personally and have never quoted him.

Others then to dismiss what he says on some subjects as a sbake oil salesman and liar, but then quote him on occasions when it suits them.

Can we please have some continuity on this?

I think when the most prominent brexiter of them all says ‘Brexit has failed’ it’s worthy of note.

I think when he says ‘French mechanics tried to assassinate me’ it should be taken with a pinch of salt.

So can we get you to decide whether you trust nigel or not?

Dipping in and out of him being s trustworthy quoteable source 1 day, then saying he isn't trustworthy the next gets tiresome.

Oh Farage isn’t trustworthy, of course not. He’s a proven liar.

But when even he is unable to present a positive argument for Brexit, it speaks volumes, no?

What a weird thread. Feels like a “gotcha”. Who in their right mind (unless you were thick) would believe Farage? But Morley is going for “so therefore Brexit must be working cos Farage!”

So far Brexit is a turd. Farage was the chief turd polisher. But maybe he realises what is getting left on his hands and under his finger nails?

long story short - because Farage is a proven liar, Morley thinks I should be consistent and not believe anything he says, including ‘Brexit has failed’

Personally speaking, I think when Brexit is so shit that even Farage can’t defend it, that’s worthy of note

Apparently farage is believable when discussing the economics of brexit in 2016.

But when discussing banks and closing accounts among other things about cars etc. He's not to be trusted.

I feel either you believe farage or you don't.

You can't dip in and out of closing when you believe his words.

Your original claim was that he didn't have a positive economic argument, but now you seem to have taken it beyond the believable. He presented lots of positive arguments on why Brexit would be a good idea. You don't get that many votes for your nascent political party without having some sort of good argument. Of course, you may not have agreed with those arguments, but it's clear that many people did.

Oh my bad, I did indeed miss the word economic from there. My apologies, was not intentional.

Farage did present some positive arguments for Brexit - generally the ones that involved remaining in the CU/SM.

Brexit is the unpolishable turd. That's presumably why Farage was quoted blaming the Tories for it all.

I can't say there is one person I know , personally or otherwise. Whose every word they utter I would automatically think they are telling the truth or lying.

I evaluate whats being said with the person saying it and lots of other information before forming a opinion.

Is there a completely trustworthy politician in the land? Love him or loathe him, it's unlikely Brexit would have happened without his constant sniping at the EU and attendant publicity. History will record him as either a hero or villain once the long term impact of Brexit is known.

If his plans crash had ended ‘differently’ then we’d not have left the EU. (That’s not me wishing anyone dead before the usual suspects pipe-up) That’s a mark of how effective he was.

Villain. There was never a positive outcome of brexit for British people, short, medium or long term. That's not what it was about.

His saying “Brexit has failed” though isn’t an opinion that the UK should still be in the EU, it’s just pretty standard politicking from someone in an opposition party, ie “the Tories are doing it all wrong, you need me to sort it out”.

He’s a bigoted racist weasel, but I don’t see anything particularly unusual about his statement when taken in context.

No one is "believing" Farage when he says brexit has failed.

Clearly either:

A. Brexit happened, so it has not failed. In which case he's telling a lie, as we've left the EU.

B. However if he's talking about brexit being successful for British people or not. Clearly it's not. So it's the truth. (although his statement is misleading as it implies there was a possible positive outcome from brexit).

Why is this even a discussion point? Who care what the lying sack of shit does or doesn't say.

You don’t believe that a goalie wouldn’t do that? Or a defender wouldn’t throw up an arm for offside in the vain hope of getting a whistle? And that would mean they can never be trusted on any subject?

You’re aware of how naive and frankly stupid that is?

No. I give more credibility to statement that would go against someones agenda than when it supports their agenda. Or at the very least, I'm more interested in it.

I'm not here to sell you double glazing, I mean I do sell it but I can see you wouldn't really need it. However if you are interested in being 20% more efficient in energy savings I could recommend an air source heat pump, and you will get a 5k grant from the government if you install one.

Far better return than the double glazing I sell, now if you are interested and I'm cutting my own throat here, take this card and let them know I sent you and I'm sure they will do you a deal.

That sort of not part of their agenda?

In what way is Farage saying Brexit has failed selling anything?

I suggest you take a swift reset…. It hardens those that want the promised Brexit change.

360 is your friend rather than google as you pointed out to me

Brexit is done. It’s not getting renegotiated. What we have is what we’ve got.

Brexit and sovereignty, still plenty Farage does not consider finished to his satisfaction and he wont feel it has achieved until the small boat crossings are eliminated.

I think Cummings had more influence over the outcome of brexit than Farage.

Farage set the table, Cummings took over.

Not loaded. Just wondering why you think he cares.

There are some things he failed to achieve with brexit. But a few punters arriving on a small boat isn't one of them.

Farage is a liar. Regardless of what he reveals now, doesn’t change the fact that he has a history of lying.

You have apologised but very rarely. Normally you either double down, refuse to answer questions, gaslight, or simply disappear. You also frequently call other people liars and claim they have said things they haven’t!

Not that I can find. From what I've just read, it does sound like they've said he did meet the criteria to retain his account.

They mention Brexit, Russia & Trump on more than a few occasions, I'd like to see the document but not sure we'll ever get to.

And you're completely certain that the Queen used her Sovereign Grant to pay off Andrews accusers are you? No possibility that she might have used any of her other sources of income?

Jacob Rees-Mogg, Esther McVey, Lee Anderson and Philip Davies all present GB News shows. They are the very definition of the establishment.

Of course they are but who is willing to play their cards. I do not trust Esther's her and her husband backs Hunt.

Jacob is a wash with knowledge

And Lee Anderson is ?

I'm sure the Queen's account has been closed because she has died

All bullshit? At best, we don’t know the truth.

Given that Dan has said he has made errors of judgement (and which of us hasn’t, tbf), I’d assume that there’s an element of poor behaviour, but as to anything illegal he’s innocent until proven otherwise.

I agree, we don't know the truth. Dan may have made errors of judgement or it could be a bitter ex.

I hope Dan recovers from this.

Farage?

He’s always *threatening* to leave.

Though he never actually leaves.

Ah, the Mail piece I read had 7 of 40 pages online.

For what it’s worth, I think Coutta reasons for closing his account are fine - within their remit to close based upon potential reputational damage.

The only issue is that they may have lied about it (none of us have any idea how much he had in his account)

If they lied, they owe him an apology.

You should probably check before refuting a claim....

Go and have a read of it, not that it'll make you change your mind but it's actually quite scary that any institution can do this. Coutts aren't just any normal private business refusing custom, this is a guy who had been a customer for a very long time and had never had any negative dealings with the company, in fact, Coutts say the opposite.

I used I used work in financial crime and aml. I had 6 years of this as a career in bookmaking and banking before going into accounting.

I did mention this last time.cthat they would face serious problems with their banking obligation under fca rules.

How many layers of HR and legal do you think this stuff goes through in a large organisation?

I work for a large company. It’s phenomenal how many people are involved in checking and double checking anything that may have legal ramifications.

Coutts will be within their rights to terminate the account, I’m certain. The reasons given for doing so may be on shakier ground - but again, none of us know for certain.

This is the actual case law. What you are seeing above in braganza is an actual legal case.

And solicitors don't disagree with me in fact what you quoted above is exactly what bragaza delta with.

You do not need exceptional reasons to close bank accounts. Not according to the Financial Ombudsman Service, at least:

"Businesses that provide bank accounts are generally entitled to close them – just as their customers are. But you should treat your customers fairly. You shouldn’t close an account because of unfair bias or unlawful discrimination. And you shouldn’t usually close an account without giving reasonable notice."

The question is if this was due to unfair bias or unlawful discrimination.

There is lawful discrimination, of course. If there is a court order, if there is suspicious activity or if you broke the terms of your agreement including false information on opening it."

What Nigel of course is alluding to is discrimination as the reason he ca t open accounts elsewhere and why his account was being closed.

As I stated I jave dealt with this in another thread.

The FCA will be very interested here. As will the select committee.

I look forward to seeing the fine imposed.

I haven't said they've done anything illegal.

I've said it's scary that this can happen to a long standing customer just because it was decided that they don't like his views. Views that haven't drastically changed recently, why was it fine for so many years and then suddenly not.

That could literally happen to anyone of us.

Then the cover up... that definitely needs answers. This is Coutts, not some backstreet banker.

As I've said before, I bet the truth is in the middle.

My guess on this is

As at Nov 2022 he was commercially viable (but under mins)

As at July 23 when his mortgage ceased, he was "unviable".

Courts wanted rid because of the PR risk etc. And were planning commercial reasons to be the final straw.

Im not sure where tbe PR risk came from suddenly.

I'm not sure of the length of his mortgage.

I'm not sure of the length of his mortgage.

I don't think it came suddenly. I suspect it's been there and revieed frequently. Based on Nov docu taking about annual reviews.

Mortgage expires July 2023. Again, Nov docu.

It seems to be not such a simple case as was first said. I'm not sure if the minimum balance was the actual reason for closing the account now as some say it is but others say it's not and guess it varied quite a bit. This document seems to highlight his political views but what is less clear is why all of a sudden they are a problem as his views have hardly changed. From what he says this is not an isolated incident which is concerning

ah right. I'd guess a combo of Russia going to war and corporates becoming more socially aware (even if it's for profit)

Plus rewind ten years and farage was a lot lower PR risk. Even if his views were the same.

I’m confident that Coutts wouldn’t have made this decision if they weren’t on very solid ground. Having recent seen the legal hoops we’ve had to jump through in one disciplinary case - they’ll be sure of their position I’m certain.

I'm confident they didn't take into account they would receive a SAR. Hence 'wasn't commercially viable'.

We will find out soon enough.

being associated with russia now is worse than a few years ago.

Tbh I dont make the leap from farage becomes tainted beyond belief and that being a risk for coutts. It's not as tho he's a brand ambassador.

However I can see why he is a bigger risk than a few years ago, which is why I'm answering why it could be a bigger issue now than a few years ago.

And he can bank somewhere. He may not be able to bank where he wants. Or get a business account. But I believe that the larger banks have to offer some service to anyone.

Look at all the negative press that got generated recently when Wimbledon got sponsored by Barclays. Protest groups have started to disrupt the activities of companies if they don't like the customers of that company.

I'm not at all surprised that Coutts has a 'reputational risk' panel to work out which customers might get it into trouble in the future.

No, just my experience of how large companies deal with legal stuff.

But they didn't de-bank him, they offered him an account at a different subsidiary.

Having said that, they will be in a lot of trouble if Farage decides to push this through the regulator, since they have obviously decided to get rid of him for non-valid reasons.

"Why is farage a PR risk? He has to bank with some one.

Look at all the negative press that got generated recently when Wimbledon got sponsored by Barclays. Protest groups have started to disrupt the activities of companies if they don't like the customers of that company.

I'm not at all surprised that Coutts has a 'reputational risk' panel to work out which customers might get it into trouble in the future.

There is the notion that they only offered the other account after he went public.

And that doesn't explain the 10 other he said refused him.

Personally, I think Coutts are in trouble here, that SAR document really does not look good on them.

They allowed him to bank at the same aprent company.

Thisnis debunking.

How can you jve a reputational risk to the subsidiary. But not the parent?

Btw de banking is having your facilities removed. He was debabked regardless of being offered facilities somewhere else.

As I have mentioned previously a uk citizen had a basic right to have a current account with any facility( providing they meet the thresholds as per coutts)

If there are no thresholds it's very very very hard for you to refuse a customer.

There's a good little article on lexology Google " lexology debanking Kingsley napley" to have a quick overview.

They go over some of tbe problems I have described in earlier threads.

And again here.

Their decision I agree with you Mr discretion. I think NF should call their bluff.

What we knkw is he met thr criteria and he didn't meet whatbyou might call their moral stances and was debanked.

But the reputational risk doesn't change if he then banks with another rbs subsidiary.( as they said he was OK to do) so this won't fly in court.

This is like mini telling a Russian they cant buy a car because they are a reputational risk. But saying. You can still buy from BMW. Who own mini.

I think we are yet to see proof of the other refusals? I saw him waffle on about it. But not seen the evidence yet.

Maybe I missed it?

Unlike some I chose not to believe anything nigel says until he proves it. No flip flopping here.

That's true. I haven't seen the evidence, just NF saying he has been refused elsewhere. I assume he has evidence but that's just an assumption.

For the celebrities and independently wealthy that aspire to a Coutts account, I think that the names Coutts and RBS are sufficiently far apart that the reputation won't transfer.

They could try and argue that.

It won't fly in court though.

Because he banked there for 25 years was it? and the articles cited date much further back in time.

Nothing changed with regard tk the risk. Infact from a banking perspective they became less exposed by him no longer being a high level Pep.

I dont envy them trying to use that defense in court.

As I mentioned I think further up this thread.

It's difficult to remove some one from the entirety of the banking system.

My former employer HAD to offer a child abductor a bank account.

Others then to dismiss what he says on some subjects as a sbake oil salesman and liar, but then quote him on occasions when it suits them.

Can we please have some continuity on this?

I think when the most prominent brexiter of them all says ‘Brexit has failed’ it’s worthy of note.

I think when he says ‘French mechanics tried to assassinate me’ it should be taken with a pinch of salt. "

If using Nigels words use the whole sentence. Brexit failed because of the Remainers and we didnt get a full brexit.

. England even sold Northern Ireland to the EU in hope of a good deal and the EU still shafted them. Now it costs us in NI more fore our goods than in the rest of the UK. Due to customs costs.

Nothing changed for the worse by an action of Farage, but in recent years protestors have become more likely to use violence and property destruction to gain publicity. I'd say that the risk of reputational damage to banks has become much greater, even though their business activities and their customers haven't changed.

Not that I'm defending Coutts. Their actions were wrong, no matter how much the risk has increased. It seems that they have become the latest company to learn the phrase "Streisand Effect".

"As I've said before, I bet the truth is in the middle.

My guess on this is

As at Nov 2022 he was commercially viable (but under mins)

I don't think it came suddenly. I suspect it's been there and revieed frequently. Based on Nov docu taking about annual reviews.

Did they give him a 25 year mortgage? That would be very unusual.i don't know why this did t occurr in an earlier review?what didn't occur ? I'm not following.

If Nigel Farage's views don't align with theirs, why now? His views haven't changed in the 30 years he's been a customer.

As I suggested, maybe somebody new, someone sterner has made the decision. We’ll never know.

I feel we will know. This will go all the way.

I’m confident that Coutts wouldn’t have made this decision if they weren’t on very solid ground. Having recent seen the legal hoops we’ve had to jump through in one disciplinary case - they’ll be sure of their position I’m certain.

Your confidence in corporate business has grown exponentially it seems…

Driven clearly by promoting your political views.

No, just my experience of how large companies deal with legal stuff.

How many layers of legal and HR do you reckon a decision like this goes through? "

Not many, maybe 1 legal for advice ref the direction it was being taken to communicate that position in the meeting when it is that high up the chain. In this case no HR involvement.

irrc coutts had considered the likelihood he'd go public.

This too shall pass.

How many ppl who can bank with coutts will not because of this ?

I've just looked at the small print of my Coutts & Co. SuperSaver deposit account and I'm afraid to report that Farage is bang to rights.

I quote:

"Coutts & Co. Elite Private Banking Unlimited, keepers of the Royal Purse of his Majesty King Sausage Fingers III, reserve the right to expunge, extinguish or otherwise close any or all client accounts where the client is revealed to be a massive racist Cunt who won't shut his trap and refuses to desist in spouting utter bollocks"

Sorry and all that, but its right there in black and white folks.

You wouldn't usually have a legal team or person from legal. It would be considered day to day business.

Typically shutting down accounts is accountamanger/exect account managers and fraud prevention manager etc.

I think in their hubris, they weren't expecting nigel to call their bluff.

That’s only right, it was inappropriate for it to be revealed that he had insufficient funds in his account if that wasn’t the reason for the account closure.

"Coutts have issued an apology to Mr Farage for the 'deeply inappropriate comments'.

That’s only right, it was inappropriate for it to be revealed that he had insufficient funds in his account if that wasn’t the reason for the account closure. "

Pretty sure that's not what she's apologising for

"Coutts have issued an apology to Mr Farage for the 'deeply inappropriate comments'.

That’s only right, it was inappropriate for it to be revealed that he had insufficient funds in his account if that wasn’t the reason for the account closure. "

Dame Alison said in the letter to Mr Farage, that she believes "very strongly that freedom of expression and access to banking are fundamental to our society and it is absolutely not our policy to exit a customer on the basis of legally held political and personal views".

Well she does now, publicly at least.

Probably really should advertise consulted the legal team

"Facebook group of close to 10,000 former customers who say their NatWest accounts were closed down are sharing templates and instructions on how to lodge Subject Access Requests with the bank demanding any dossiers on them. As I wrote this morning, Nat West/Coutts now entering a world of pain."

"Nothing changed with regard tk the risk. Infact from a banking perspective they became less exposed by him no longer being a high level Pep.

Nothing changed for the worse by an action of Farage, but in recent years protestors have become more likely to use violence and property destruction to gain publicity. I'd say that the risk of reputational damage to banks has become much greater, even though their business activities and their customers haven't changed.

Not that I'm defending Coutts. Their actions were wrong, no matter how much the risk has increased. It seems that they have become the latest company to learn the phrase "Streisand Effect"."

Natwest and liey other subsids, now have possiby up yo 10,000 subject access requests they are dealing with, due to people realising they can now do the same after having counts closed.

This has been a disaster for coutts.

Btw Jon sopel former bbc employee is absolute scum. And owes nigel and apology.

Mr Sopel said today: "Dear Nigel, always believed when I get things wrong, I own up to it. I got it wrong. Sorry. That will teach me to trust reporting of my old employer.

"If your political views were even part of the reason why account was suspended from Coutts that is totally reprehensible. Jon."

I thought the BBC had a brand new fact checking department to spot fake news in all it's forms wherever it may hide.

Oh I agree he's an arse. Was just showing at least he's big enough to apologise. Not until the truth is out there though

Maybe as a journo, he should probably gather facts before making statements

I don’t think that’s a BBC thing, it’s a society thing.

I’ve been watching the Twilight zone, one thing that stands out from it is the vocabulary and the fact that they don’t treat the audience like idiots. Compared to modern TV it’s a breath of fresh air.

Anyhoo. Off-topic there

Whatever it is, it needs to stop and don’t get me started on this trend of this report was brought to you by Bev and dave who are welcoming you back to things as they happen…

Going back to Farage, he needs his account reinstated and when he logs back in a nice little sorry for your troubles sir, deposit.

Me too though now it seems to only be selectively fact checking depending on agenda. Both the bank and the BBC have been made to look really stupid. It could get worse for the bank with all the other disgruntled people who have had their accounts closed, not to mention the reputation damage. As others say it's odd that they use his politics as an excuse to close his account as it does not fit their views but by their own administration offered him an account with the parent company. Does the parent company not care either way then? Also if this did go through the banks legal team then I suggest they find a new legal team and fast. On a final note of my rant, if someone with quite opposing views like Jeremy Cornyn for instance, had their bank account closed in the same way, would that be OK. Discrimination is wrong against anyone and unacceptable regardless of their views
