The Bank of Farage

[Ms NTL]

Now that we have our sovereignty back, can we have our Jersey and Isle of Wight banks as they were?

Fond memories of the Anglo-Irish bank, such a star, so corrupt, that Cayman islands couldn't possibly compete!

Did you guys had accounts with them?

Is it likely that a vicar acted in that manner?

You haven’t provided a link to the person/vicar you are discussing, just the general policy, so how can we ascertain appropriate/inappropriate behaviours?

Also, the policy states

based on the specific facts, comments & behaviour in each case.

Not just "comments"…

You are making judgements and decrying the unfairness of the situation without knowing the facts, which I suspect is largely because it fits into your preconceived narrative within these confected culture wars - we don’t know what the "vicar*" wrote…

*vicar - he’s not an "Anglican church leader" as quoted in the Times -the last time he was active in the Anglican Church was when he was an Associate Rector in a South African Anglican church 1997-2004, and then he founded his own Evangelical organisation in the UK

According to you the link provided details of the incident. Does it?
Times Paywall
Other non-paywall

An Anglican vicar has slammed Yorkshire Building Society for closing his account after he accused them of promoting gender ideology.
Rev Richard Fothergill, a longstanding customer with the building society, wrote to them in June to complain about their public messaging during Pride month.
The 62-year-old says within four days, he received a reply telling him his internet savings account would be closed, The Times reports.
...
The retired vicar insists his observations were a polite rebuttal of transgenderism, in response to material on YBS's website.
But the building society wrote it has a 'zero tolerance approach to discrimination' and their relationship with the customer had 'irrevocably broken down'.

So it is just comments.

[Mr K]

So nothing to do with Brexit ,more likely Nige has some dodgy financial dealings. Anyway off to the EU for the Farages, don't blame them.

This was the link you provided, which took us to a pinned tweet for the YBS…

It required a signup to Twitter to read the full thing, so I had no idea what else might've been there.

Implying he HAD done one of those things. His only "crime" was having an opinion.

I’ve screen-shot the pinned tweet from the top of the Yorkshire Building Society plus the first couple of messages, to give you an idea of the hot water they are clearly now in over this.

Although unrelated to the Farage question - I do wonder what the vicar thought he would achieve? A nice little response from the CEO saying "between you and me mate I don't buy this guff, but the kids love it and my marketing folk tell me it's a wheeze"?

I remember a certain Labour MP, Chris Bryant, using Parliamentary privilege to accuse Nigel Farage of receiving dodgy cash from RT, when he made appearances on there, let’s not forget, Corbyn has appeared on there too & Bryant stood by this man to become the next Labour PM.

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.”.

If that is what happened. It's far more likely he was trying to open private accounts after all it makes no sense why he would be universally blocked from every bank in the U.K all of a sudden.

Did Farage not get paid from RT?

Either way I don't think it'll be that because they were legally operating in the U.K then. It was probably even a U.K arm of RT that paid them (and Salmond, and Corbyn)

Considering the amount the banking system is extracting from the Great British public with exorbitant interest rates on money generated out of thin air, they should be shaking his hand for Brexit.

One thing we can agree on, the banking system isn’t looking after our money, for our benefit.

I never said anything like that - you then provided links to the matter under discussion, and who was involved; up to that point, the only information we had was a YBS pinned tweet, not what it was about.

In fact, I stated

And you are basing this on what he says, not actual evidence…

Don’t start turning in to Andrew with the demands for evidence.

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

It wasn’t evidence I asked for - just information what he was referring to, otherwise al we had at the time was the YBS pinned tweet, but not who/what is was referring to…

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