Earlier this month, talk show host and former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage wrote an editorial in The Telegraph titled, “After my banking travails, I fear Britain is lost,” detailing his nightmare experiences with NatWest, one of Britain’s biggest banks. Farage told the tale of his accounts being deleted and his friends, family, and business associates being harassed for their political beliefs.
PJ Media’s Athena Thorne covered Farage’s allegations.
He goes on to detail his financial ostracization as bank after bank refused to accept his business, and he gives examples of other politicians — always conservative — to whom it has also happened. Not only are these victims “unpersoned” and rendered unable to conduct business or even function in society, but they also face psychological extortion from vast, faceless institutions as their family members suffer the same fate. Basically, the banks tell the target, “Step down from politics or the kid gets it.”
Now, the CEO of NatWest, Alison Rose, has been fired for discussing Farage’s personal details with a journalist. Rose is leaving “by mutual consent,” the bank said. The bank’s action came just hours after they had expressed full confidence in Rose.
“It is a sad moment,” said the bank’s chairman, Howard Davies.
The Associated Press reports on a BBC story that claimed Coutts Bank, a subsidiary of NatWest and Farage’s bank for 43 years, required a million pound borrowing requirement and that the bank didn’t cancel Farage’s accounts because of politics.
But Farage had the goods on them, and his publication of documents detailing the bank’s lies almost certainly led to Rose’s firing.
Farage then published documents he had obtained from the bank showing that officials discussed his financial affairs, but also the “reputational damage” associated with keeping him as a customer.

They were fired not because they closed the account but because they let slip WHY it was closed.

Nigel is one of the few British men with balls enough to take on the British Left and greedy capitalists.
Hope he uses the Hell out of everyone.
Farage gets a big scalp and wants more scalps.
Go for it Nigel!
Yep. These corporate scum need to be made destitute.
The girl needs to be punished not just fired.
This is what you get when you put left-wing women in charge. Just ask Bud Light.
