This Is Incredible !!!

[Khandro]

Nigel Farage may be hounded out of the UK

[jno]

he got elected to Brussels, though. He must have hated it - the constant march of the jackboots, the screams and the breaking glass, the roar of the Panzers ... and now, if ABers are to be believed, he'll be realising Britain is like that too - and we can't blame the EU and their straight bananas.

We've got nowhere to hide

i do not think farage is an idiot at all but i also am not willing to take his claim that he is being persecuted at face value!!

the fact of the matter is that there are major unanswered questions about where the money for his political party has come from... i find it far more likely that his bank accounts were suspended because he was involved in something dodgy

[Old_Geezer]

If anyone has failed to agree a trade deal between the UK and EU, for sure it hasn't been the UK side. We see the UK forever trying to progress while the EU and it's supporters find issues to stymie such progress.

It's much the same when we try to protect our borders. (I think most can put two and two together and see four.) Even if some claim it's five.

None of his critics watched him on GB News at 7pm tonight then? Before putting finger to key on this topic again, may I suggest you get it on catch up because what it contains should worry even you.

PP, if you must pick up on my posts all the time, firstly get it right, and secondly I have a name - and it’s not ‘she’.

[gulliver1]

Naomi 21.11 "PP, if you must pick up on my posts all the time firstly get it it right". Yes Just like you did Naomi when you picked up on Khandro's post@ 17,33 and you were both wrong .....OK!

// ClareTG0ld, you don’t need to hear more. Read the link ellipsis posted. //

I don't see any link ellipsis has posted before that message, unless it was on another thread. Can you point it

In the long run, I want to hear more from the bank(s) involved, rather than from Farage. I don't particularly take seriously Farage's suggestions that this is some "establishment" attempt to force him out of the country -- the "establishment" is anyway a handily vague term that can refer to just about anything the speaker wishes, and for that matter why are these apparent conspiracies always so pathetically poorly-concealed? -- but I *do* want to understand the other side, have a better idea of what they meant by "commercial decision", etc.

Put simply, there's more to this story. Either because Farage doesn't know himself, or because it suits him to emphasise certain parts, we're missing out on a lot. I have no particular desire to see him "forced out of the country", though, and certainly not by underhand means.

[Hymie]

Here is what the man said on GBNews today – interestingly he mentioned the claim by Chris Bryant that he had received half a million pounds from the Kremlin, but he did not say the claim was false (why not?).

But it was also interesting that he claimed the bank offered to open a personal account for him – if this is true, then the criminality speculation being the cause for the accounts closure is wrong.

Why other banks should refuse him an account just because he is Farage does not make sense – after all he’s got loads of money from his EU parliament pension.

[naomi24]

Gulliver, I wasn’t wrong. Khandro does live in the EU. Ask him.

ClareTG0ld, sorry, it was Buenchico’s link, not ellipsis.

Hymie, he did deny Bryant’s accusation. He asked for a retraction.

[tomus42]

Oh dear.

[Hymie]

Asking for a retraction is not the same thing as denying it – if at some later date, Farage is found to have received half a million pounds from the Kremlin – he can say I never denied it.

[Ellipsis]

Chris Bryant can't close Nigel Farage's bank account. Only his bank could do that and, according to Farage, his bank has done that. That bank would have done that for a reason, and that reason would not be hearsay from some Labour MP. This is city bankers, closing the bank account of a former city banker, for a reason. I suspect that Farage will know that reason.

[naomi24]

Hymie - a man who loves posting videos and expects them to be watched - but ignores those posted by other people. Watch the video in the OP, hymie.

[naomi24]

Ellipsis, who said Bryant closed his account?

[jno]

not once on this thread has Hymie ordered or expected anyone to watch a video. It comes ill when a moderator does so.

[naomi24]

Not an order, jno. Hymie is confused so merely a nudge in the right direction.

[Khandro]

calmic :// Yes all British EU residents legally in another country were supposedly notified that their UK bank accounts, credit and debit card accounts would be closed by a certain date and driving licences exchanged if they had not already done so//

This simply isn't true: though perhaps there are thousands of British expats who have barely used bank accounts containing a fiver or so to 'keep them open' which are more to the point.

I am a British citizen domicile within the EU, I have three bank accounts in the UK; two are constantly used current accounts with different banks & one is a credit account, the former both contain substantial amounts, & the latter is cleared (if necessary) monthly.

Why would any bank wish to close them down? In fact, we have received this very morning new cards from one, valid until 2027.


But none of this has anything to do with the issue facing Nigel Farage, which is entirely political & i.m.o. very worrying.

[jno]

Watch the video in the OP, hymie is an order. Just adding a "please" would help, as my mother would have firmly pointed out.

[tomus42]

Khandro often posts links to things with a comment saying Wow look at this! Which of course no-one in their right mind does.

[naomi24]

jno, I'm sure your mother was the very epitome of good breeding but she'd have been wrong to say 'please' to Hymie on this occasion. I'm not 'asking' him to watch the video - I don't care if he watches it or not - I'm telling him he can find the information he's missed there. Blimey! What it is to be a mod who, in an effort to be courteous to the rest of the membership, refuses hide from public view. Constant finger wagging from sour-faced perfectionists and every word that can possibly be criticised jumped upon and dissected by those who will. Understandable that most of them roam these pages secretly, don't you think? Now you know why I always carry bucket loads of salt around for emergencies. ;o)

[ichkeria]

In fairness if I say to someone "watch Question Time tonight!" (which I doubt I'd ever do btw) it's just an exhortation/invitation, not a military directive.
I have not watched it I must say, but only because I get that he's had his account closed. "Why?" would be a good question. I doubt he's going to be forced to leave the UK though, but maybe events will prove me wrong.
