I have to admit to liking Nigel.  He is an intelligent man and a good speach maker.

was what she said about Farage's account correct or not?

[ToraToraTora]

clearly it was wrong or there would not have been such a palaver.

She hated his politics so tried to embarrass him but it all backfired.

'The NatWest-commissioned independent review into the closure of Mr Farage's Coutts account and Dame Alison's discussion of his banking with Mr Jack found "a number of shortcomings" in the closure process.

But law firm Travers Smith also found the closure of Mr Farage's account "was predominantly a commercial decision".'

Can't disagree with the O.P..

that's not necessarily so. Part of the accusation was that she breached the bank's duty of confidence - not that what she said was actually untrue but that she shouldn't have said it. Hence my question.

'"We confirm that we did not investigate Ms Rose's actions, given that NatWest was the data controller under investigation," the ICO said on Monday.

Instead, solely NatWest's actions as a data controller were investigated, rather than Dame Alison, the statement said.

It added: "We apologise to Ms Rose for suggesting that we had made a finding that she breached the UK GDPR [general data protection regulation] in respect of Mr Farage when we had not investigated her.

"Our investigation did not find that Ms Rose breached data protection law and we regret that our statement gave the impression that she did."'

It doesnt matter whether it was true or not, she breached confidentiality.

Would you like your Bank manager discussing you and your account with your local rag?

//It doesnt matter whether it was true or not, she breached confidentiality.//

 

Precisely.
