They reference in their documents higher costs associated with managing Farage as a customer, and if he’s paid off his mortgage presumably he’s not paying them interest for any other reason.

Someone of minimal status/no public standing who falls through the thresholds is unlikely to create an additional burden on their business.

You can actually turn Neil’s statement - because it’s politically driven - on its head. One of the big ironies is the right calling for more regulation simply because of one man, EU red tape protecting him (just as it did for many others across a range of matters and he campaigned vociferously to remove them). One troublesome customer riding roughshot over the rights of a business in the free market, etc etc. Sure, their rules aren’t rigid but if you don’t like them you can go elsewhere. Capitalism, innit?
