He says it’s an attempt to force him out of the country. There are a number of very specific reasons why bank accounts are frozen. If mine had been frozen, I’d be keeping quiet about it. Suitable anti-woke link to appease the snowflakes: https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1785774/nigel-farage-bank-accounts-closed/amp NatWest boss Dame Alison Rose may be able to lend Farage money, now that she has been payed up.

That's a value judgement indicating either that you disagreed with the point of the post or you didn't understand it - and going by your last post you still don't understand it. I understand you are a poor contributor. 52 minutes ago, Al Bundy said: Nige is definitely ruffling a few feathers ain't he. Rightly so. Nigel Farage has not put a foot wrong regarding this matter. If a bank is going to give a reason for closing an account then that reason should be the correct honest reason. The lady has rightly resigned for giving a false reason for the closure of the bank account. NatWest's reputation has suffered and their share price has fallen as a consequence. Nigel Farage's reputation has been boosted. Edited July 26, 2023 by Axe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you think the government should draw the line between telling people why their accounts have been closed and avoiding revealing to criminals that they are being investigated? (Remember, the banks currently have a legal duty to not tip off those suspected of financial crimes and refusing to tell only those under suspicion will tip them off anyway.)

Like it or not she will have got the going rate for the role she had. The big issue is that the taxpayer still owns about 37% of NatWest after bailing them out. There is an argument that partly state owned businesses should not pay such big salaries. 16 minutes ago, altus said: That's just what you say when you don't have an answer to someone's argument.

The government don't think it's ridiculous to have a law obliging the banks to not tip off suspected criminals. The NCA and other government agencies don't think it's ridiculous to object to people routinely being told why accounts are closed. What you and another poster consider ridiculous is neither here nor there. I note you avoided answering my question of "Where do you think the government should draw the line between telling people why their accounts have been closed and avoiding revealing to criminals that they are being investigated?"

If you don't want them to know, don't close the account. All this system does is to penalise innocent people.
