Probably based on the fine-print boilerplate everyone is required to sign when they open an account that says: We, the bank, can do whatever we want, and if you don't like it, pound sand."

Lawfare works in two directions. Nigel is a fighter, unlike most Tories. Any parallels with the GOP?

Not going to happen anytime soon, with so many politicians on their joint WEF/Soros payroll (including the Biden mis-administration, Dems & RINO’s)

before Nigel got mixed up with Trump, I would watch his speeches in the European Parliament, He loved to roast Herman Van Rompuy, and the other unelected leaders
