“King Charles Should PERSONALLY Apologise To Nigel Farage” Over Coutts Account Row - Alex Salmond

[@lynnyoungman1280]

Banks for banking NOT for cancelling you for having personal views thoughts on religion or political views. This needs to be made illegal, if they can do this to Nigel Farage they can do it to anyone.

A bank has the legal rights to close anyone's account as its their free services your using & bankrupts don't get a second chance & if they see you as undesirable to their customer criteria its bye bye & don't call us we will call you !

The least they can do is to give him his bank account facilities back and a full apology. It’s about time the government made this practice illegal.

No they didn't - they knew what they were doing. Can't imagine why they thought picking on Nigel Farage with his track record of taking on establishments was a good idea though.

[@dazzlarnic5732]

They obviously did not risk assess the impact of bad press by cancelling Nigel. And there will be others without the platform in a similar situation. I hope they all issue SAR. The paperwork for all the requests will be a mare. People should be sacked (especially those that breached the confidentiality of their customers) and it should be whistleblown across the industry. Crazy that we bail the banks out and they still play god to us.

The amount of people (52%) talking through their backside is creepy. Despite the overwhelming evidence, that Brekshit was the lousiest idea ever, you knuckledragging beings still convince yourself otherwise. So since you didn't want to be part of the EU, the next logical step would be giving Scottland, Wales & Ulster their freedom as well. Reclaiming the "Empire" is the biggest joke. Leaving a peaceful community of trading countries, but wanting to control countries again, who are rejoicing & celebrating their freedom (India especially) from the British whip, is unbelievable. You should be exempt from voting - for obvious reasons.

@@Bacon4Rashers 109 countries? Can you name them all for me and cite when they were ejected? I will help you out with one, England - 1290. Jewish people were a minority in every country they lived in, who were discriminated against by the state by being barred from attending university/ serving in the government/ army (restrictions weren't lifted on them until 1830). As a result they pursued success in the one avenue available to them which was commerce. This was further enabled by the fact that Christians were barred from money lending by the pope (unless granted special permission) which essentially solidified Jews as money lenders in many of the countries that they lived in and made them prey to being scapegoated. Medieval kings exploited this for their own gain with Edward I seizing their assets to fund his invasion of Scotland (Phillip II of France took it further by seizing the property amd ordering the expulsion of both the jews and knights templar.)

The legal problem is that the U.K. has legislated to allow suspicion to be used in place of evidence and because criminal law has a high bar, controls desired by the state have been sub-contracted into civil law which traditionally was person to person as opposed to state to person as in criminal law. This slight of hand, a typical Blair era move, has actually delivered us into a vigilante mentality. Worse still, the whole thing has become tribal because this is precisely how tribal thinking always operated with group identity being signally by what opinion you express. It tends to privilege appearance - profile promotion. This causes a tendency for institutions to act out what they believe to be the successful ideological stance. It is a mess and the short cut, to control the behaviour of everyone in order to deal with crime that the police have been unable to stop is not working and will continue to manifest unforeseen consequences.
