Nigel Farage’s bank accounts were closed down after Coutts decided his views “do not align with our values”, documents obtained by the former Ukip leader show....
@Nigel_Farage
I now have evidence Coutts LIED to me..
In an explosive 40 page memo, “Brexit” is mentioned 86 times, “Russia” 144 & “PEP” 10.
Support for Trump + views on immigration, net zero & the vaccine are listed as reasons to exit me.
They say my account is commercially viable!

His views were not your business. Money is. His is as good as anyone’s, and you have no business mixing your “values” into banking decisions.
When they write the history of why conservaatives were overwhelmingly defeated, BoomerCon delusions like this will be at the core.
Otherwise, you’ll have to have a conservative bank that welcomes conservative capitol, but not left-wing. That itself is a defeat, but a strategic one, not a tactical one, and right now tactics, it seems, are more important.
Otherwise, you’ll have to have a conservative bank that welcomes conservative capitol,
Exactly !
The myth of institutional neutrality is a boomercon fantasy. All institutions reflect the values of the people who control them.
BoomerCons refuse to see this and lose and lose and lose.
>align with their values
So he doesn’t rip people off?
The end result has several precedents, among them,
The Soviet Famine of 1930- 1933.
At least 5.7 million perished.
Contributing factors; The forced collectivization of agriculture, as part of the First 5 Year Plan.
This is recent. But if that’s the way the wind’s blowing, time to reset the sails accordingly.
First MAGA Bank of America. LOL.

Banks by themselves is insufficient. The electronic payments systems that net transactions between banks and process bank electronic transactions is privately owned

MAGA needs both the banks, and a parallel system of electronic payments that cannot be cancelled by the Fed, or dependent on private companies controlled by our enemies.
I’ve got Wise for transatlantic transfers, and there’s also BIT and Paybox here that I know of and use. No evidence of political bias. Market is too crowded with services.
do the usual EU apologists have any fresh excuses now?
This had nothing to do with money. It was ALL about politics.
You are delusional. All these services were created and are controlled by liberal dominated tech
And any financial institution or payments system is easily pressured by the Regime.

Even stupid Bitcoin. They can just shut down the whole internet.
Why don’t BoomerCons want to build our own thing, and they insist on ‘da free market, muh’ capitalism even though it is obviously losing ?
Hmmm. I guess Britain does not have laws regarding public access like the US.
The 303 case would not apply to a bank because Farage was not asking the bank to do a special service that violated the bank’s morality.
They closed his account because of who he was.
I’m fine with the concept. If it hasn’t been done yet, it’s no fault of mine. I just don’t have the resources. If you do, go ahead. If you don’t, put together a business plan and approach someone who does.
It can’t be private.
It needs to be done at the State level. Preferably multi-State.
The choke point after that would be the Telecom companies.
The alternative to them needs to be State controlled as well.
I don’t know much about it. But there are plenty of private companies. I use three of them and also PayPal, which sucks.
What happens if truckers refuse to deliver to NYC or inside the beltway?
One of my favorite songs.
Yay, the march of ESG continues steadily. They are punishing his wrong think.
I want off this ride.
Another case why England should end their socialism agenda.
The most unified I have ever seen the populace at large is over the Budweiser boycott. Still, that’s only a thirty percent or so drop in sales. It’s significant only because of the way shelf space is allocated. Nobody is risking their job by not baying beer. Also, there are many other better beers on the shelf. The same is not true of jobs. If your company has a contract to deliver to DC or NYC you’d better do it or they’ll fire you. I don’t see anything like a selective strike or boycott when people’s jobs are at stake.
How many Americans will be debanked because they don't align with a woke bank's values? You'd have to be industrial strength stupid to NOT see what the goal of digital currency is.
BEHAVIOR CONTROL.
exactly! what do you thinks going to happen when they go digital? you and me are screwed!
