I bet Farage and Johnson blushed when banks used to mention their LIBOR rates. ;)

Andrew, you shouldn't lower yourself to the standards of certain others. Farage is not a liar and certainly not to be compared in that sense with Bojo.

He's not in Johnson's league by any stretch of the imagination, but the Coutts stuff was decidedly economical with the truth.

All Farage knows how to do is to lie. He has betrayed this country and its citizens. History will judge him poorly.

I'm pretty sure he's already judged poorly. ;)

I just don't care.For someone who has failed 7 times to be elected to Parliament I really can't give a hoot for the man.

He has done no such thing. It’s called democracy Ian. I didn’t realise your absolute hatred of all things Brexit, blinds you to the absolute fascist actions of these banks closing accounts, because it upsets a minority of precious darling mardarses that work there.

Before he received the letter, he hadn't been notified of an offer of a NatWest account. What's so complicated about that?

What’s complicated is that you’re relying on a single source for this information, and it’s a source that might not be reliable.

His supporters could always arrange a whip round to get him the money he needs to meet their requirements?

So many of you are prejudiced to a ridiculous extent. You'd say "good riddance if he died".

His bank account has been cancelled and Farage suspects that because other banks have refused him an account, that he is being persecuted. Perhaps the banks are hiding behind the PEP thing because they don't like him.

On the other side of the coin, cancel culture has widely taken hold and it is reasonable to see the Farage case in this light.

He got 'cancelled' because he didn't meet the income requirements. It's possible they would have waived this but the PEP marker means it's not worth it to them.

Otherwise just bank like the rest of us plebs and take up the NatWest account.

If you care that much then organise a Go Fund Me so you can get him the level of banking you feel he deserves.

What I care about is the blind hatred for Farage by many unreasonable people that is then expressed in the bile we see here on the forum.

Btw, I don't doubt that Coutts dumped him because of their account thresholds. I also accept that Farage has an escape route to Nat West, which I hope he takes.

But Farage is a decent man and should not be compared with Boris nor vilified to the extent we are seeing.
