The scrote doesn’t care that he has made a boat load of cash at the expense of thousands of others. He doesn’t care about the thousands of businesses that have gone under because of him and his mates. But when he is hit in the pockets by having to move to a pleb account, then we get questioned in parliament and a plethora of front page headlines about how hard he is done by. When is he ever going to live up to the threats of “I am going to have to leave the UK”.

    God I’m tired of this whole thing. The whole bloody nations media is being pulled into what’s essentially an argument between old money and new.

    Old money types who’s families have been with Coutts for years probably have plenty of skeletons in their closet, but they know to keep their head down and not draw attention.

    Farage is new money who doesn’t do that and sticks his oar into politics. They and Coutts know he’s a reputational risk that may end up shining the light on them so they didn’t want to be associated anymore.

    As long as he can bank somewhere, I don’t give two tosses.

      They cannot refuse him a banking account because of EU legislation. Natwest doesn’t give a monkeys about his politics. They have people on their books in times past that are a lot worse. Pinochet being the most notable from memory. All Natwest care about is making money, and Farage obviously does not tick that box anymore.
