Careful what you say, or you may end up without any banking facilities.

fantastic news that Alison Rose has resigned.

They chose the wrong person to pick on. Nigel Farage was badly wronged and has played a blinder. 👏👏👏

Anjem Choudary is charged with directing a terrorist organisation, hmm! given he's been on under surveillance for quite some while for what he advocates, just pondering as to whether he has a bank account, and if so, whether he meets his bank's high minded values, not that I'm suggesting his? would be with Coutts, Better or worse than Farage that's the million dollar question? One we are reliably informed is a Spiv and a xenophobe and the other well he'd just like to commit mass murder!

Good point, but, Choudary holds a trump card: the race card, that trumps everything.

The questions should now be asked about the Board - when an employee breaks what must be a cardinal rule, there should be no vote of confidence, but only dismissal. In my opinion.

I am wondering how much damage this has done to Nat West bank. My husband closed his account and I suspect many others have too.

Poetic justice for Alison Rose and her staggering breach of client confidentiality which amounted to not much more than idle gossip. A client whether they be Joe Soap or an extremely high profile person has the right to expect their affairs to be handled in confidence. It's particularly galling that this lack of discretion emanated from the person at the highest level and on an enormous salary. Glad she's gone her behaviour was completely unacceptable.

I dont bank with N w.
But I would be closing mine if I did.
If a Bank board thinks it is ok to divulge personal information...

Presume they will be apologising next?..
Maybe after more hoo haa first, more questions asked of different bodies, more media coverage, more accounts closed, more celebs or high up VIPs whispering in their ear, etc etc

Banks are built on trust.

Farage did say, or was it Boris, that it is knocking confidence overseas, for business to invest in the Uk, if it is seen in the Uk as acceptable to break confidentiality.

I can’t believe some people agreed with the banks over this, a few on this thread too!

But some so called liberals would agree with bringing back hanging if it involved Nigel Farage or ‘ the right’

Hypocrisy at its worst.

You’re not wrong Kandinsky😂

Dilly, that sounds like a comm unist statement.

Clarify how the rather accurate description of Farage could be 'communist'.? Or, are you saying that only 'Communists' do not like the vitriol that this man spews out?

Ironically, Farage aside it’s the privacy laws we all support that enable many of the fraudulent and criminal activities to take place

Vitriol in your eyes. Not in many others. Despite your personal views, what this woman did, should ensure she never gets another job in banking again. She wont be poor, thats for sure. Can't be trusted not to divulge customer details to the beeb. Simon Jack should resign also. Imagine if this had happened to a left wing politician or such as Owen Jones, there would have been uproar on here with those who think Farage deserved this because people don't like his political views.

the commusint sounding bit was
banks aren’t obliged to serve customers with conflicting values.

Franbern... the vitriol this man spews out....

Care to give an example?

I have only really listened to him since he joined GB news, and he has been quite the gentleman over the debanking debacle.

Nigel Farage is now fully into his campaign and is launching a website for the de banked so that banks can be named and legislation introduced. He is on a roll.

He’s loving it isn’t he!
It’s going to keep him busy, which is no bad thing

Farage kept busy and the banks' bullying being checked. Win win.

Btw, the same thing happened to the Triggernometry guys, some time before Farage.

Freya5 what if you wrote to your local paper or wore something which showed your politics, and your bank disagreed and closed your account?
You'd be fine with it?

Not only Nigel Farage.

"The crisis coursing through the banking sector has taken another twist after an equality campaigner and her husband were told their account was being closed.

Professor Lesley Sawers, 64, the Equalities and Human Rights Commissioner for Scotland, has been a loyal customer for 32 years. But Prof Sawers and husband Allan McKechnie have been told their Royal Bank of Scotland joint account will be shut next month."

Part of NatWest again!

I have never been a fan of Nigel Farage, despite him being very charismatic when you meet him.

I am however fully behind his campaign regarding clarity on debanking

From Jason J Hunter:

Have I got this timeline right?

Chap called Marshall Wace (you've probably not heard of him but he's rather rich, owns GB News and is Nigel Farages boss)...
Marshalls hedge fund shorts his investments in NatWest bank a few months ago around the same time that Nigel Farage gets a letter from Coutts (owned by NatWest)... shorting is where he bets on NatWest stock crashing.

An appropriate amount of time later, Nigel Farage goes loopy all over social media claiming he's been kicked out of NatWest bank (a lie because NatWest offered him a bank account) because the public image he has created for himself is that he's a racist...

Then he witch-hunts to get the CEO sacked (she was wrong talking to the BBC)...

NatWest share price crashes.

Marshall (Farages boss at GB News) makes millions of quid.

I can't help wondering if Farage was in for a cut of the profits.

Many British expats who live in the EU, who pay tax in UK and have pensions paid in UK in Sterling, into their bank account- before transferring funds to where they live, have had their accounts closed by their banks- even though they have had those accounts all their working lives, for over 40 years!

Did Farage complain on their behalf?

Those accounts were closed due to U.K. leaving the EU.

As I understand it you need an English address to have an English bank account now.
