As for the others there’s limited, anecdotal evidence. There’s the bigot that wrote to the bank to complain about rainbow flags.

NatWest plc have repeated today their offer of banking services to Farage through their retail banks. It’s difficult to see how he could be considered “blacklisted” for his political views.

The dossier noted that there was 'no evidence of regulator or legal censure' of Mr Farage, that he was 'professional, polite and respectful' to staff and that he had recently been downgraded from a 'higher risk politically exposed person [PEP]' to lower risk, and was on the way to being classed as no risk at all.

The rainbow flags served no purpose, other that to promote the agenda of the real bigots.
