Nigel Farage cries persecution, nobody wants to be his banker after ties to Russia

So as usual,people like Farage throw out some bitty information, imply some devious 'establishment' is behind it all and then sits back and let's people argue that someone must be held accountable.

All the while avoiding the narrative that he has questions to answer.

Nobody is saying they accept it. Because we simply don't know why his account was closed and refused by other institutions.

Where is the evidence that the accounts were closed on political grounds?

Well said Neil Oliver, it must sicken some of the lads on here how successful GBNews has become as usual they got it wrong!

There’s pretty standard guidelines for banks across GB, the EU and the US when it comes to politically exposed persons. They’re generally subject to more in depth checks because their positions can be abused for money laundering or bribery.

There’s no evidence that his accounts being closed have anything to do with him being a PEP by the way - he’s not actually considered one now I think, he doesn’t hold office. It’s purely his opinion.

There could be any number of reasons, I’ve said previously that I would guess transactions linked to sanctioned states or people. But really it could be loads of reasons. 7 other banks deciding the same thing really points to his transactional history more than anything else.

And it’s not true that if it happens to Farage it could happen to anyone. It could happen to anyone with known links to Russia though.

The WEF have commited to complete digital currency by 2030. In the EU it will be by 2028. Didn't every bank be in some financial scandal with bailouts at some time or other. All banks are involved in money laundering because they love that money, even the revenue commissioner is willing to look the other way as long as you pay tax.

HSBC were only laundering a few years back for the drug cartels and they fined them a few billion which I am sure they passed on to customers as operating costs. Swiss banks have been laundering Nazi gold. Vatican bank as well, god's own money. Sheik Halawa is collecting Halal money and jizya. Guinness and mahon are a shady crowd too. You are going to have to walk a long distance to find an "honest" banker. Don't ever have some Rotheschilds stooge ever tell you he is someone taking the higher moral ground. Where you have large amounts of money changing hands frequently, you are going to have dodgy men and women.

This is scary 1984 stuff that you cannot operate without a bank account. Comedians cannot make a joke or can be struck. You cannot criticise a politician openly. We are heading into dark times.

We would be in dark times if anything you mentioned in the last paragraph was commonly occurring. Which it is not

This is probably the wrong thread to argue that point as none of Farage's conspiracy theories haven been proven true, hence Brexit has been a disaster for everyone in the UK but not his German passport holding family.

Nigel Farage himself is a very mainstream minor personality, not really conspiracy theory material.

If these 2022 numbers reported here are any indication of how they are financially now, the channel is only making about 4 million in advertising against an operating cost of 30 million. The only reason they can operate now is due to investor cash. That’s not unusual for a startup, but the expectation is that the venture will eventually turn a profit and operate without the need for investor cash. GB News need to increase their advertising revenue by about 10 fold, on a advert medium which is waining in recent years, just to break even.

If the investor cash ever dries up, GB News will likely have to close. Farage might be sensing this, and might now be trying to refresh his “brand” a bit.

He is just a crazy right wing brexiteer loon probably, probably threatened to blow the bank up or something also. Or probably just lying.

Correct, we don't know do we. Quite possible some dodgy dealings have go on, possibly not. Maybe the best for the banks explain the reason why, what do they have to lose ?

For all we know it could be happening to lot's of people.
