It seems that any suspicion gives banks the right to close accounts, without explanation, to avoid risk, even when such suspicion/ risk seems ridiculously small and remote. That seems wrong. Obviously society shouldn't tip off the bad guys that they are under suspicion, but one wonders what society thinks closing the accounts of everyone around them...

“Had the victims been other people I’m sure SP would have understood it very well.”
Not sure what that means.
“No one who values freedom in this country should be defending or supporting this.”
Why assume this is a freedom matter? What if the back found serious irregularities and wanted to cut itself from risk?
The only ‘evidence’ owe have of this being a calculated May be by the banks to attack him has come from Farage. How do we know why the banks refused his business? Think about timing…why is this happening now? If this truly were a freedom of speech matter - why now?
Farage is playing the victim and we should we wary of this one-sided story.
“Agendas reign supreme.”
They certainly do on AB. It’s what keeps the site alive.
Certain people will post questions about Sir Kier, Boris, Trump, “wokeism”, trans rights etc etc…the people who post most regularly all have agendas.
Thank God.

Well there is plenty of evidence to support his claim. As the links provided have proved. The banks refused an account to a young downs syndrome girl because her late Grand father was a former Chancellor? That is excessively overbearing and I would suggest beyond their remit. It is not a one sided saga at all imo.

First a sidebar…I didn’t know Dominic Lawson was Nigel Lawson’s son. I used to l read his books avidly until he started working for the mail. If he’s Nigel’s don, he must be Nigella’s brother.
Never knew that…
With regards to the treatment of his granddaughter - it seems harsh, but I assume the bank was concerned about section two of the ‘Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017’:

As evidenced elsewhere - regular account holders have had their accounts terminated due to the Act…brought in by this government!

it's Nigel Lawson's granddaughter, not Dominic's. Once a bank decides to close a suspicious customer's account, they're obviously likely to do it for the whole family in case Daddy decides to hide his funds there.
As to why - we don't know, so people can speculate according to their own prejudices. Go for it!

sorry, sp1814, I was actually correcting retrocop's error, which was a bit pointless since he was perfectly correct. Apologies to him too.
I remember in the wake of Robert Maxwell's death Dominic Lawson writing a column somewhere saying it was jolly hard on Maxwell's wonderful children, including Ghislaine. You can feel one child of the famous reaching out to others in empathy.
