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

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.

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.

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.

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. 👏👏👏

Farrage on Today now.

I don't have any particular problem with any private business refusing someone's custom (unless it was the only business that provided an essential service) but giving someone's private information to the media is disgraceful. It's right she went.

Gone because personal information was publicized, trying to justify the decision to debank Farage.
Don’t expect any changes, if the bank wants to get rid of you they will do so, if not by closing account then by higher charges.

Well, she has gone. There was really no other outcome.

The whole system for closing bank accounts must be reviewed. The rules drawn-up to prevent money laundering and crime have been misused by the banks to de-bank people for all kinds of reasons, often based on incorrect information and when challenged they have retreated behind tbe money laundering regulations. This must change.

Yes it's amazing that it has gone so far.

Many things have changed in Banking since my day.
I cant see how it would have changed that a Bank employee can go about blabbing, no matter how far up the ladder they are.

The banks are all signed up to ESG nowadays arn't they fancythat? So the rules and guidelines have changed quite a lot behind the scenes.

I cant see how she can possibly stay.
Back in the day, i worked in a high street bank. we were not allowed to say who we had seen in the Bank, and definitely not who banked there.

When it is delayed as to a resignation nowadays, it is interesting to see who else puts their foot well and truly in it.

If she does leave, no doubt she will have an exorbitant pension, and/or golden handshake.

We could only wish Primrose53?

They always do! I know she’s in a different league altogether but I have seen bigwigs at our County Council walk away from their six figure salaries after doing very poor work and lots of complaints and they get nearly as much in pensions and golden handshakes as their salary.

Shocking that Coutts have confidence in her after that! She has broken the Data Protection laws and cannot be trusted yet they think she’s still doing a good job!

let’s face it, she on over £5 million a year so she must have massive savings herself and should resign. She doesn’t need the job!

Another so called apology from AR, saying she was wrong, but she has the backing of the Bank.

Well, she should resign and them with her.

No on should have the right to give private information to a 3rd party.

Or make judgements on a persons suitability to actually have an account with them.

Not the wedding cake theory again

varian 1) who are the same people because I'm not one of them.
Unless you direct your comment to those exact people it is meaningless.

The other half of your comment has been answered many times above, but frankly if you can't see whats wrong with what you suggest, there is no point in explaining yet again.

But I will, slippery slope, it might be you who is de banked next.
I may disagree with you, but I defend to the death your right to say it

Attributed to Voltaire, but not confirmed.

It is interesting that the same people who thought that the NI bakers were entitled to refuse to bake a cake for a gay couple, think Coutts have no right to refuse to bank Farage because they disagree with his political views.

NF says he has only just started! I back him 100%. If anybody knows what being wronged really feels like, they would understand. I have been and would definitely not let it rest here.

JRM was just on TV saying AR has broken the code of confidentiality which you expect from people like your bank and your doctor.

I think a lot more will come out and thousands of people will be thanking NF.

If banks can willy nilly disclose private information we are on a hiding to nothing.

No, I hope NF carries on digging until he can get at least a name to attach to this social rot, of people ganging up on those who hold ideas and thoughts they don't like.

You are right DL

I've said from the beginning it isn't about NF but it is about the treatment he and others have received.

But you are wrong about JRM not being bothered, also Andrew Griffith, has been trying to do what he could before this blew up.

The fact that NF could headline and bring together all the elements that were necessary is very important.

This isn't over, NF or others haven't received alternative bank accounts.

There is more to come.

AR is or will be thrown under the bus to close this down.

Is she the source or did she authorize the source?
There still has been no disclosure.

The BBC have apologised. Farage says he has accepted it. Time to move on now - many, over a long time, have had bank accounts closed with no explanation.

Rees Mogg and anyone else hadn't bothered about what the banks were doing.

It's not all about Farage.🙄

JRM said it's too little too late. BBC afflicted with torpor.

AR must own up to who broke NF confidentiality.
Then take the wrap.

Breaking news……. BBC have apologised to Nigel Farage and about time too.
He has thanked them.
More about that @ 7pm on GB News.

TerriBull. Well said and, unless something’s changed, he’s on full benefits.

We must be the only country in the world that pays for housing and gives financial support to those that would kill and maim its citizens.

I wonder if someone will come on listing all his transgressions?
