A parents’ organisation was reportedly prevented from opening an account with Metro Bank over opposition to allowing children to undergo life-altering transgender medical procedures, in the latest revelation of British banks banning customers for their political views.
Following Brexit leader Nigel Farage revealing nine banks have refused him accounts, a slew of people, mostly holding right-wing or conservative-leaning beliefs have revealed they have faced similar Chinese communist-style debanking in Britain.
According to a report from The Telegraph, the transgenderism-critical parents group Our Duty — which represents over 2,000 parents who are concerned about children being encouraged into medically transitioning their gender — has been refused a new account at the Metro Bank.
Our Duty’s founder Keith Jordan told the broadsheet they were notified by the bank they were not eligible for a business account because “the content of your website conflicts with the culture and ideas we are pushing”.
Metro Bank, which is the UK’s seventh-largest bank with some 2.5 million customers, reportedly joined the far-left LGBTQ+ Stonewall charity’s ‘Diversity Champion’ scheme, which the government’s Information Commissioner has previously claimed holds a “significant degree of influence” over the firms that sign up. Stonewall denies that it exerts any pressure over the operational decisions of the companies.

Brexit leader Nigel Farage has revealed that nine banks have refused to have him as a customer .. a result of him being considered a Politically Exposed Person (PEP).
In a stunning move, Farage’s previous bank, Coutts, leaked to the BBC that the decision to drop him as a customer was a result of him falling below the financial threshold of having one million deposited in the bank. Mr Farage criticised the bank for leaking his private financial details after the political firestorm broke out after the debanking went public.

How true
Yes, sad to say.
And does anybody give a rip about it?
The bankers need General Pinochet desperately.
Time to close accounts and boycott the SOBs. As Mark Levin said tonight, we do not know our power. He got Targay to buckle in 24 hours on their ban to market his new book, ‘Democrats Hate America.’
I think it’s likely local credit unions will be the last to be touched by this BS.
You do what you see fit, but what I’ve done is get every penny out of banks and places like Fidelity and Schwab. It all went into home equity, PMs, Bitcoin, and my local credit union so I can pay my bills conveniently.
BTW, my average acquisition cost for Bitcoin was <$600 each. Wish I had backed up the truck at that price.
It will be built into banking regulations by the first of the year.
best to read the rest of the article where Farage and other Coutts customers state they did not have so-called minimum deposits, as was leaked to BBC and Financial Times in UK.
Money center banks have imposed ESG on certain clients, notably gunmakers. However, borrowers so impeded, e.g., My Pillow, can turn to another of the 4,000 commercial banks in the United States. Canada and Britain have more highly concentrated financial services markets, making it easier to punish people like the Canadian truckers or Nigel Farage.
What about this? “Our Duty’s founder Keith Jordan told the broadsheet they were notified by the bank they were not eligible for a business account because “the content of your website conflicts with the culture and ideas we are pushing”.
In Russia & China, you can oppose sexually mutilating children and still have money in the bank.
Before you can withdraw your money we require a child sacrifice...oh not to kill them...well not quickly. You see we require that you mutilate the child sexually and while you do it nonsensically chant with us that you are doing the child a favor. As soon as the child in a weak and frightened moment convinces themselves the mutilation is what they wanted we will do it! The child will not die right away...they will suffer for a few years in bodily and spiritual pain paralyzed with regret until they finally take their own life. Once you join us in this sacrificial rite, you may have access to your money...and here take this mark on your hand or forehead to verify that you have given up your soul in order to be able to buy and sell in the market place.
If anyone is under the impression that this will eventually die down or go away, you are sorely mistaken.
Please listen to this woman’s words about how this will play out...
