A bank account can be everything in an increasingly cashless society. In the UK, banks closed more than 343,000 accounts in the last financial year. The practice is known as ‘debanking,’ and clients are given no notice or recourse after they’re flagged as potential risks. Muslim groups have complained for years that they are unfairly targeted. Their cause recently got an unexpected boost from far-right politician Nigel Farage after he uncovered that his account had also been shut down over his political beliefs. This week, the Financial Conduct Authority says a preliminary review has found "no evidence" that banks have shut or denied accounts over customers' political beliefs. But while Farage’s case drew widespread attention and condemnation, many in the Muslim community say they are still suffering the consequences.

Great interview, podcast. Yes banks is a financial institution NOT a government. Banks force a cashless society to get more say on society. I wish this gentlemen all the best and may he find a bank who will assist him

The deep state can never be judged... These lands are oppressive though they claim the opposite

It is actually a kind of blackmail, and hurts other businesses as well as the debanked individual. Because the other businesses (nothing to do with the debanked individual) won't have this individual's business.

In society, there are two types of guy: the a guys, and the THE guys. A guys are faceless, nameless, average Joes; they're just a guy. If something happens to them, it's a tragedy, but that's just how things work. For THE guys, they hold wealth, status, power, and adoration--or at least respect--from the public. They're known. They're seen. They are the straws that stir the drink of society. They cannot be touched by the harms of society, because they ARE society. They are THE guy. So when they are touched...everyone notices.

“1 million closed accounts over 4 years” the UK has a population of 60ish million. That is a stupidly huge number for a population that size.

Farage didn’t care when it was happening to others, only when it happened to him 😢

Why should he? he's not a politician, he actually didn't realise it was happening, but now he's doing something about it which is more than anyone else did.

It is not worthy to show favor to the wicked, to oppress the righteous in judgment.

رشوت سے بھر پور پاکستان کے ادارے۔ کاغذات کی تصدیق کے لیے بھی رشوت دینا پرتی ہے اسٹامپ کے لیے بھی کیش دینا پڑتا ہے۔ کرایہ دار سے پولیس اور پراپرٹی ڈیلر کمیشن طلب کرتے ہیں جبکہ مکان مالکان ہر سال کرایہ میں اضافہ کرتے ہیں۔ بینکنگ سیکٹرز کسی بھی بہانے پیشنرز کو تنگ کرتے ہیں۔

Is it really necessary to display the audio signal at the bottom of the podcast video? I find it unnecessary and distracting. Please consider removing it. Thank you.
