In Canada the Trudeau government did the same to the truckers. This is why we must resist a digital currency. With such a keystroke on a computer renders your assets frozen.
Do you remember the Canadian Freedom Convoy?
Deep States everywhere are using the same playbook.
Bolsonaro, Farage, Trump...
Bellweather of what is to come.
Australia’s top bank ANZ shocks customers with withdrawal freeze
To make them go digital. The goal is cashless there, too.
Farage has insufficient ESG to bank. Soon all of us little people who are Christians and or Conservatives will be deemed to possess insufficient ESG to bank. And then to be allowed to live.
Uhhh yeah. They’re trying to do the same in the US with ESG and social credit scores etc. Fortunately, different states can pass legislation that disallows a bank to deny a business or a person an account when said denial is not for business reasons....ie good credit score, positive cash flow, longtime account holder with no history of overdrafts, etc etc....upon pain of losing their banking charter in that state if they break the law. Texas and Florida and others have passed legislation like that for certain businesses.
The UK being a much more centralized system, I don’t know if they could do something similar unless it was passed at a national level and obviously the Tories are completely owned by the Establishment so they’re not going to pass any laws restricting the Establishment’s ability to screw people over like this.

Bill Mitchell posted last year how his bank froze his account. He couldn’t get at his money. They didn’t give him a reason. Laura Loomer is banned from all kinds of things
Yes. It’s happened to people and businesses in the U.S. Banks have shuttered the accounts of Trump and Lindell to name two people, but they switched banks. I suspect Nigel is being a bit hyperbolic and he has options. Quite honestly, people can choose to use banks based in any number of countries and live anywhere they want.
“by closing his bank accounts”
Someone needs to come up with a good solution to this. For all of us.
This is the same concept that the current Administration applies to gun shop sales.
Its all part of "Kancel Kulture" ostracisim
Par for the course
Yes. This is being done to individuals as well as organizations - not just in the UK, here as well.
Maybe if Farage had done something when Tommy Robinson was experiencing this then he might not have it happening to him now.
But nobody cared.
I worry about this since I donate to Free Republic every month.
Some day, the Southern Poverty Law Center will decide that FR is a hate group.
