Farage – The Truth
Anyone reading the threads on this site would know that I am a lone voice pointing out the truth about Farage and his banking with Coutts – well, it would appear that one Frances Coppola is also aware of the facts (unlike most on AB).

Yes I have seen Frances Coppola talking about this on the TV.
Great name I have to say :-)
This is what I posted on CB (hardly the place for it anyway)
I thought the main reason WAS the money but it arose when discussing his case that he wasn’t the sort of customer they should be encouraging in the circumstances.
I can sort of understand that. If he’d kept his money up the issue might not have arisen because banks like people with money more than they dislike people’s politics.
Unfortunately they briefed indiscreetly and also lied. So losing the room, so to speak

They must have liked him at some point, to have accepted him as a customer in the first place.
I am trying not to take sides in this. Plainly the bank acted poorly, but they aren't just any old bank: although I agree that you shouldn't discriminate against people because of their viers, well, Coutts are a pretty discriminating outfit to start with, and if they decided they were finally fed up with Mr Farage, a high-profile and controversial figure, while I don't condone it I can understand it.
I'd be more worried about Joe Bloggs having their account closed for no reason by a High Street bank.

Trying to make the argument supporting Farage, claiming that Coutts operates others’ accounts that do not meet their financial requirements – is like an accused in court stating that their defence is that others have committed the same crime, but have not been prosecuted.
I wonder if NJ would acquit on that basis?

The question does not arise because - no matter how many times you and Ms Coppola repeat it - that's not what they did.
There is no point in debating the issue because your only response is that you (and now Ms Coppola) have said it, so it must be true. All you do to defend that argument is to cherry pick whatever evidence you can find that supports your view and largely ignore anything that doesn't.

//...had NatWest’s management done what I said in my post at 13:12 (telling Farage he was too poor, and an idiot to boot), what would he or anyone else done about it?//
The same as he already done, I imagine. That is, to discover just what information they held on him, why they had gathered it and what they did with it. Then no doubt he - and everybody else except you and Ms Coppola - would have drawn the same conclusions.
