Anyway, pretty sure most multi-billion financial organisations aren’t "left-wing"…

I didn't know who was being referred to at the time, yet you seemed to imply that it was a more serious transgression at the time. IE "rude, insulting, violent, discriminatory, or derogatory towards bank staff".
It was Taf who raised the Yorkshire incident. The only link I knew of at the time was from the Daily Mail, and deniers routinely rubbish stories from them, even when all they've done is pick it up from others, eg in this case "The Times". Two 2 links were stories from first thing this morning, so wouldn't have been available last night.

I was pointing out that you had only selected one of a number of reasons why an account could be closed - at the time (and still currently); I pointed out (again, not knowing the circumstances or person involved), that other reasons could have been relevant…

Farage invited Bryant to make his claim again, with no Parliamentary privilege protecting him from being sued, Chris hasn’t made the same claims outside of Parliament, the coward.

But yes, let’s operate in a dystopian future, where if you upset little darlings, or heaven forbid, vote the wrong way, they get shut out of the banking system. Some of you are pretty disgusting for lapping this pure fascism up as suitably a “get you back for Brexit, Nige.”.

Absolutely, Mick. This could lead us to a very dark place. Nobody should be supporting this kind of behaviour from any organisation. This is where the cancel culture is leading us to and we should be opposing it rather than meekly accepting it.

Hopefully, Rishi will address this tendency before the next election, because Labour will not stop this creeping woke culture if they get in, they will promote it.

You don't know why he's been refused accounts. Nige wants us to think it's Brexit. I think there's info he's not telling us. Strange as he's usually so honest with the public...

:rofl: pure baseless speculation. Even funnier to think that this Government have the capacity or the competence to do anything about it if it were true.

Almost every problem this country faces has been exacerbated under 13 years of flawed Conservative ideology. Solving anything in the dying embers for the final 18 months lacks credibility.

This is how the left operate, perfect MO. Cancel people who’s views they don’t align with.

Cancelling people's views they don't align with. Is that not a bit like what the Left did over Bud Light in the States. Wait that was the Right, not the Left! :confused:

It's interesting to consider what Farage's motives might be:
1) Increase his profile, viewership by and income by poking the Brexit bear again. Heck, if it pays off he might qualify for Coutts again!
2) He's seriously thinking of leaving the UK so seeking an excuse for doing so, knowing that any departure from the UK might be seen as acknowledging that Brexit is not a success.
3) He genuinely thinks he's a victim of discrimination on his political views and is unaware of the financial ombudsman.

Him and fellow cancelled wrong about everything since 2016 broadcaster Andrew Neil could do a podcast from the south of France.

And that oaf Galloway who still has a regular show on RT I believe.

You pronounced that the person had done more than merely make comments. I assumed that "evidence" was in the Twitter link that I couldn't read without signing up.
They actually asked for his feedback, and he gave it.

He hasn't been told why. Same as with the other cases that are being highlighted.

Basic legal principle, that even if you don't like a decision, you should be informed as to the why, so you might be able to rectify it.

He says he hasn’t been told why. That’s not the same as he hasn’t been told why.

:confused: The last 5 words of each of your sentences are the SAME. Then there all the others that haven't been told why.

Start at the start:

“He says”

Any evidence for your biased claim?
What about the other cases? It's just not him saying it.
