We live in a country where our politicians are embarrassed about not being millionaires…..
Oh this is very embarrassing for nige after playing the victim card.
notwokejustplainbroke
So basically he’s been ditched by a private bank for not meeting their requirements and NatWest offered him a normal account instead, so a complete non story.
Great grifting opportunity for nige though, if you look at the amount of column inches devoted to his “plight” over the past few days has been extraordinary and will be content fuel for weeks to come…
This grifters russian money has been cut off with sanctions when Putin decided to invade.
>It is understood that he was subsequently offered a standard account at NatWest which owns Coutts.
He doesn’t like NatWest because he thinks it’s for the poors and still wants to be part of the elite
Forcing a private bank to make a public statement about how poor their former client is because he needed to whip up a frenzy on how he’s being politically targeted.
How many more years of this muppet’s nonsense will we have to endure.
We should all just agree to stop writing and posting about this person. He is beneath contempt.
The era of bullshitters is at least – somewhat – coming to a close. Of course, they will be with us forever – however less of them dominating the political landscape…populism fucked up the UK and (almost) everyone knows it.
Man of the People throws hissy fit as he isn’t wealthy enough for elite bank
>It is understood that he was subsequently offered a standard account at NatWest…
Lol.
So basically he lost a lot of money, wants to blame his views for losing said money…
Complete non story and basically another lie, just like his brexit lies
Knew it would be something like this or dodgy deposits being made.
I would expect an apology at the very least from the culture secretary: Lucy Frazer for giving attention to this false narrative in the first place. I won’t hold my breath though. Tories and integrity don’t mix well.
His claim was always incredibly suspect. Can’t really blame farage for continuing a scam that’s worked so well for him (lying about everything and hoping people give him money).
It’s the reporters that took him at his word that are the real villains in this story.
It’s an odd one this article.
It’s not a statement from the bank. NF doesn’t contest he doesn’t meet the criteria, but claims hasn’t been an issue for many years.
NF’s financial position is closely linked to Arron Banks, who’s been under several investigations. That in itself probably raises loads of compliance paperwork for the bank. In addition, new anti money laundering rules were introduced in April, which probably increased the burden on NF and the bank to evidence the source of his income.
If he doesn’t meet the criteria and he’s causing lots of compliance casework, then he’s not a profitable customer for the bank.
Wait a minute, Nigel. I thought we’d all be rich by now in our glorious Post Brexit, Global Powerhouse Britain? Shouldn’t we all have Coutts accounts now?
I thought Brexit was going to make us all rich enough to bank at Coutts. They. They didn’t lie, did they?
Man-of-the-people Farage surely can’t be expected to have an ordinary bank account for ordinary people? Heaven offend!
It’s as crazy as taking foreign money to counter the interests of your country when bleating on about how patriotic you are. No one would do that, would they Farage?
It’s like how some of our politicians are embarrassed about being British while pretending to be patriotic, and are either seeking to move abroad, have the option to live and work abroad (like this goon), or already have plans in place to live abroad (like a certain Prime Minister).
95% of people falling for the bait headline as always. Read the article, it’s not really the gotcha a lot of you are hoping it is.
Mainly because he wanted a posh private bank card instead of a NatWest or HSBC like a normal person. Man of the people.
Oh dear, I wonder if he has lied about anything else?
NatWest also closed our community charity account recently though they refused to state why. I believe they are simply closing unprofitable accounts that cause them to lose money.
Assholes btw. We almost had to close the community hall because we couldn’t pay the insurance because of this. They blocked withdrawals for 2 months and refused to say why.
>whether I can even go on staying living here in this country
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out
I actually saw a newspaper claim they did it because it was because he held “controversial opinions” and called the act insidious lmao
I love that the bank made this statement, maybe now those Tory MPs and ministers will shut the F up about “banks closing accounts because they don’t agree with people’s opinions” and all that sort of horse shit
But we all know they won’t
Come off it, if you believe this you’ll believe anything. It doesn’t take much reading between the lines to see Coutts are being slippery here. If the reason was purely as they say they could have told him that in the first place, or closed his account when it actually breach the limits, not ten years later. They’re implying they offered him a standard account instead, but that only happened after he went public. All the other banks he’s gone to have said it’s political, but we’re expected to believe Coutts wasn’t. We already know this kind of thing is being done to other people, and not just politicians, by various banks and building societies.
Wait, papers have been making out it was because of his views?
Ha ha ha! I think that’s even funnier than it being because he was receiving Russian money. Imagine announcing this to the world and having the British government treat it like some ‘woke conspiracy’ only to have the embarrassing truth come out. That’s made my day.
Really? are you telling me that *Nigel Farage* exhaggerated an issue to the point where people would be angry about imagined threats, that he heavily implies we need to be wary of, that we only imagine because of his exhaggeration of the issue at hand?
I have heard that Coutts account holders need at least a minimum of £1 million just to open an account there and that he was given the option to transfer to Natwest (who own Coutts) but he declined.
So… Coutts will happily leak your financial info to the press
Looks like some more Big Chungus cameos are in order…
He’s caused Brexit and lost his sweet 9,900 Euro a month salary as a EU parliament member. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot, then accusing someone else of doing it.
He also lost Aaron Banks, bankrolling him and paying £17,000 a month alone so that he could live in a property in Chelsea.
Poor Nigel has made himself redundant, but then again Brexit has fucked everyone’s jobs to some extent.
Farage was a poor metals trader, he actually made most of his of net wealth from the EU!
A real moron.
Well, you’re not gonna live in any other country because it well you know… Brexit 🤡
So his story about being on a blacklist and it being political was 100% fabrication?
It also appears he was offered a regular account by NatWest (who own Coutts) and he turned it down wanting to continue playing the victim.
Honestly why any of his followers continue to think he’s a “man of the people” is beyond me. He’s nothing but a grifter out for himself and laughing at his followers.
And this ended up with questions asked in Parliament FFS!
