An Anglican vicar has slammed Yorkshire Building Society for closing his account after he accused them of promoting gender ideology.

Rev Richard Fothergill, a longstanding customer with the building society, wrote to them in June to complain about their public messaging during Pride month.

The 62-year-old says within four days, he received a reply telling him his internet savings account would be closed, The Times reports.

Rev Fothergill, of Windermere, Cumbria, has since accused the banking giant of 'bullying' and said: 'I wasn't even aware that our relationship had a problem. They are a financial house – they are not there to do social engineering. I think they should concentrate their efforts on managing money, instead of promoting LGBT ideology.

'I know cancel culture exists and this is my first first-hand experience of it. I wouldn't want this bullying to happen to anyone else.'

Leftists are totalitarian. They are evil people to their very core.

“I think they should concentrate their efforts on managing money,”

They are using money to manage thought and speech.

Just an example of what Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) would be like. They can “turn off” the currency you have in your wallet. Biblical.

They promised all they wanted was to legally get married and now look.

Not that marriage should ever have come under the government money grabbing since it is a sacred rite. The church is only separate until the government wants $$$.
