There was a rumour that he had applied for a German passport (his children apparently have British and German passports) but he has denied it. Little will surprise me though.

But really, what a snowflake! NatWest's private bank Coutts allegedly says he's not wealthy enough to bank with them anymore but says he can have an account with their high street bank NatWest. And he says he needs to take two weeks off work as a result!

Well, Leave did mean Leave :D

Having to bank with Natwest instead of Coutts isn't really cancel culture.

Would that make him a financial asylum seeker?

He's renowned for his veracity and factual accuracy...

Could he be failing money laundering checks?

German, thanks to his wife, exercising freedom of movement, something he was happy to deny the rest of us and why is the old shyster thinking about it, he said he'd leave the country if brexit failed and he himself called it a failure not so long ago

I doubt it.

I really think it's as simple as he is going to private banks and doesn't have the wealth to quality.

The banks are never going to comment on an individual so we won't know the whole truth. We need to know if he applied for a standard bank account. If he has and still gets turned down then either he has been flagged or we do have a problem here.

I think it's extremely unlikely that every bank is turning him down because of who he is. They've been providing him with such services for a long time so why decline him now when he is less prominent and Brexit is less of a heated issue? Besides, since when did banks care that much about who they provide banking services for?

Re: The Bank of Farage
 

I think it vastly unlikely that he’s being persecuted for being Mr Brexit, though that’s clearly the narrative he would prefer to be out in the wild.

When you think about his dealings apart from Brexit - his associations with Trump and the Russia Today propaganda operation laughably once thought of as a TV news channel - there is vast scope for there to be items in his bank statements that are now great big red flags given that Trump has been indicted on some serious crimes and the head of RT is on Russian TV daily promoting genocide and crimes against humanity.

None of that is to say that Farage is involved in, or even supportive of, such things, but he has moved in circles that have since become manifestly very grubby indeed.

Maybe he has been buying crypto
