Apparently he had his bank accounts cancelled and he has been refused facilities at 9 other banks, I'm no fan of Farage but this has very sinister overtones, like him or Loathe him he isn't a war criminal, he just has views which differ, they are not even that extreme and that is no reason to cancel his bank accounts |  |

How are remainers stopping Brexit ? I thought Johnson had an oven ready deal. Face up to it. It was all a lie and as anyone who had a brain knew it would be a disaster. Is it 6 years now ? And not one clear benefit. You voted for this mess. No one else to blame but yourselves. |
I seem to recall the vaccine roll out was perceived as a benefit at the time. Also, those people (or as I like to call them, 'women') who use sanitary towels no longer have to pay vat? |  |

Apparently his Coutts account was closed because he no longer had the requisite amount in the account. The parent company, NatWest, offered him another account last week but he chose not to mention that. It appears that he is being as economical with the truth as he was when he campaigned for Brexit.

He asked for one example. I gave him two. That's twice what he asked for. | |

So, it was Coutts that told farage he no longer had the right funds to justify his account and offered him an account at their nat west sister bank. |  | | |

By its own admission the vaccine roll out was not influenced by Brexit. And are not domestic VAT rates managed by individual countries ? Perhaps when the millions promised to the NHS every week becomes a reality things might improve. As it stands now more and more people are realising Brexit was a massive mistake. But hey ho you got your country back. |  |

You need to fact check two out of three of your comments but hey you believe what you like.
The NHS gets £160B a year already, very large share of the budget, and both Labour and Tories have said it needs major restructuring not just more money. Starmer can look forward to that. |  | | |

Seems to be a fuss over nothing,his account fell below the threshold for Coutts (an exclusive bank for very rich and famous), and was offered Nat West account (a bank for the likes of you and me) as an alternative, so he throws his toys out of the pram

I've got an ordinary Natwest account and given the abysmal level of service I can understand why he told them to stick it up their ledger |  |

I don't buy this BBC story, the Farage situation is consistent with others like Toby Young, Free Speech Union, Daily Sceptic, Lawrence Fox, Canadian trucker protesters etc who are getting de-banked for "wrong speak". This is all headed towards a Chinese style social credit system. | |

I got my country back? How very sixth form of you.
The OP said name one benefit of Brexit and I named two. He could equally have said name one reason for staying in the EU and I would have named two. Trying to provide a balanced view when someone makes a crass statement does not necessarily mean I support the alternative view. | |

Not true, other Coutts customers have said they were below targets but haven’t had their accounts closed. Tick tock | | | |

Poor old Farage savings probably fell below £3m, due to him no longer being an MEP  | | | |

Expat friends of mine had their business account closed down with 5 working days notice after 28 years as a customer. Their business was registered in and liable for UK tax.
They were told that they "had better make alternative arrangements".
Sympathy for Farage? | | | |

Actually its 3 years officially but there's no point in trying to get through your dogmatic barrier.
Maybe you liked the UK being outvoted consistently by the Germans and French, maybe you're ok with unelected commissioners with huge salaries and pensions paid for through finances that failed audits. Maybe you don't like UK laws being decided by our own people.
My brain is fine thanks, and I'm happy that a majority voted to leave, try not to forget that fact. |
Rather have unelected commissionaires making decisions based on sense, than the current bunch making decisions to save their jobs. Anybody seen the £350.000 a week for the NHS yet? | | | |

A bank is not a public service - it's a company in business to make a profit. Like all such businesses they have the right to refuse to deal with some customers.
Having worked with Coutts in the past, I can say that they are an arrogant bunch of bankers who consider themselves above the usual types you find in the banking world. Admittedly not a high bar.
It may well be that they have a list of "sensitive" clients who they would like to ditch and they may well use the excuse of insufficient funds.
Apparently you need £3m in cash deposits to be a client. Where did Farage get that from? | | | |
