BREAKING: Nigel Farage's account closed as bank felt he did not ‘align with their values’
Twitter / Telegraph ^ | July 18 | Farage / Telegraph

Posted on 07/18/2023 9:53:58 AM PDT by RandFan

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!

There's a video @ twitter link.

Telegraph article is paywalled (for crying out loud they shouldn't do that for important breaking news!)

That’s okay. The Telegraph is not in line with my values.

This almost always happens due to govt threats to private businesses and I am 99% sure that is also the case here.

Nice XTC reference there.

It's concerning that banks are able to close accounts of people who they do not agree with politically.

Another step towards an Orwellian, totalitarianism society

When you pay with digital currency the sellers can refuse you gasoline or food because you don’t align with their values.

I’m not exactly sure what’s going on here. The article below says Farage’s account was closed simply because he no longer had deposits large enough to meet the account’s minimum.

I like Farage. But I wonder if he’s trying to spin things a bit here. Who knows?

(Yeah, I know. It’s the BBC.)

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. And you can take that to the bank.

Wait for it. They are going to install digital currency and if we dont toe the line, we will not be able to buy, sell or work.

I read about this maybe a month ago. I was hoping he had found some banking solutions by now. Maybe he has.
This kind of Bank as Judge of Morals happens here in the states too. I’ve heard of several gun manufacturers having their corporate accounts closed and new deposits refused.
A new bullying tactic of the Libs.
