Banks Closing Accounts For Political Reasons...

[Spicerack]

Anybody agree with it?


A short precis if you can't/don't want to watch the video. (which I'll post below)
Laura Towler (Nationalist blogger) tried to pay for her shopping, card declined. Tried to get cash from the ATM, card declined. Went to her branch (Santander), Manager called her in 'Account locked'. No reason given. 3-4 weeks later, she was sent a letter Account(s) closed, money refunded.
Presumably at the behest of the Gov. or one of their agencies.
Personally, I think it's disgraceful. Reminiscent of the non-citizens in China.
What say you?

Her account won’t have been closed because it never went overdrawn you may be sure ;-)
The other reason given in the link will be much closer to it.
As we don’t know details of her account ins and outs tho it’s impossible really to say more.

I hadn't heard about this story and it's been a minute, but just wanted to say that the shitlib gaslighting in this thread is chef's kiss.
