Coutts appear to have decided that, as a bank who are a byword for discretion, the potential downside of having a professional self-publicist whose main aim in life seems to be to stir up outrage, wasn’t worth the effort.
Let’s see what the FCA investigation brings about - but I’m pretty sure that if it finds no fault in the process, more faux-victimisation will result.
Strange how all Osborne’s stories about peoples’ bank accounts being closed were ignored, but this story is being blown up out of all proportion (imho) - I wonder what the difference could be?

If he (or anyone) doesn’t meet their criteria it’s up to them how they manage their reputation and brand. That’s surely a basic premise of the free market, especially if someone is vocal about the fact they use your products or services.

Define "vocal". Is that mentioning it once or frequently?
