This crap happens when women run businesses. The CEO should be home barefoot and pregnant.

I am not a fan of banks being allowed to deplatform citizens. In fact, all banks should be open to all people; and only close accounts if the assets are proven to be criminally obtained.

I understand this is a private wealth institution that may have certain criteria. That is probably true here in the USA - I don’t think I could open a Goldman Sachs account for example. But they are not a traditional retail bank. I could go to Bank of America and have a Merrill Lynch account, and if I don’t meet the Merrill criteria they just put me into their retail division. But for banks to collude against certain classes of people based on politics or business interests is a very dangerous slope that should just be nipped in the bud via legislation.

Mercola reportedly had this done to them recently, by Chase, IIRC.

I remember seeing her in an episode of Rumpole Of The Bailey back in the 80s. Breathtaking doesn't even begin to describe her in that episode.

However,I refuse to believe that that is an un-retouched photo of a 58 year old woman.

The truth is that most British people are, overall, rather meh in appearance. And that applies to most young women.

The Spanish are much better looking as a population. And much less fat, a critical point.

Go to both and you will see.

Farage is the man. Good to see the leftist CEO get fired.

This is all ESG BS. I’m glad Red State attorneys general are fighting it here in the US. I’m surprised anything was done about this in the UK.

Wow, it almost doesn't even look like her. Stunning though indeed.

Sadly, it will only those who are of a certain stature where there will be public outcry.

If it were you or me damn few would know or care enough to lift even mention it.

While NatWest chairman Howard Davies indicated it "is a sad moment," Farage appears emboldened, stating on Twitter, "Dame Alison Rose has gone. Others must follow."

Bye, Banker Karen.

It may actually be easier to do this in the UK, because of the Parliamentary system. They have changed leaders several times and flopped back and forth between leading parties and coalitions. The powers that be over there in the UK may be a lot more concerned about “turnabout” e.g. that new leadership would turn the same policies against them, than our uniparty leaders seem to be concerned with here.

Plus, our system is designed to be slower. Theirs is fast. Our founders wanted a slow system to create stability but they got around that by creating a giant bureaucracy, mostly unaccountable to anyone, who can effect rapid change with the stroke of a pen or a policy update. They don’t need laws, or heck they don’t even need an official written policy just send some agency liaison to express concern about this that or the other and the private companies will oblige like Twitter, Facebook and banks too. This behavior needs to be reigned in.
