National News Nigel Farage's closed bank account

[QR]

Staggering that the CE had been forced to resign but nobody has resigned follow the post office forcing the jailing of innocent postmaster. Truly staggering.

Now that REALLY is a scandal.

I guess hundreds of completely innocent post office employees losing jobs, being fined, going to prison and even committing suicide in some cases is simply not as bad as one politician being told to move his bank account...

 

[Andy Stroud]

And of course others will try to use this as a stick with which to beat the BBC - although if you cannot rely on the boss of the bank involved as a 'source' I am not sure where that leaves *any* journalist.

Farage didn’t hold the BBC responsible, saying that they had double checked with the CEO before going public with the information.
I do think his demands that the whole board are removed is going too far, but it keeps him in the news

 

[Peterdev]

Why should those responsible in any way with the scandal get away with it? There should be an enquiry to see how it should be dealt with.
The post office scandals were truly shocking affecting so many innocent people. Suicides resulted as a direct cause along with imprisonments that were gross mismanagements of justice

Hadn't a lot of those in charge already moved on ( it was some time ago)?
If the decision makers are still around, I totally agree ( although they doesn't mean that the NatWest CEO also shouldn't have gone)

Some may have moved on, but the organisation itself is still delaying, appealing and doing anything else they possibly can to avoid paying out due compensation. Those running the organisation NOW ought to be held responsible for that at least. Top PO officials were paid a 'bonus' to cooperate with the inquiry! The PO are still hiding and then 'suddenly discovering' thousands of documents, the sudden discovery meaning that the inquiry is paused while those are all taken into account etc etc. Here is the latest state of play: https://www.theguardian.com/comment...fice-scandal-cover-up-justice?mibextid=Zxz2cZ

Whatever the colour of your politics, the situation is completely indefensible.

Is Farrage a politician? I thought he was an anti semitic, racist, Nazi loving, free loading, grifting bag of s**t.

He is all of those things and has also been an MEP, so probably more accurate to call him an ex-politician. Apologies for the inaccuracy!

He likes to think he is, but the last time he tried to become an MP he lost to a bloke dressed up as a dolphin!

 

[PottersRightBoot]

CEO should have been sacked. Broke the law.
Beginning of the end for commercial wokery,

Labour naturally not having a clue. The Shadow Chancellor is a total idiot.

Diversity is fine - but don’t you dare vote for Brexit.

 

[SteMerritt]

"commercial wokery" Give me strength...

Come back in six months and we’ll see where we are strong man.

Slight tangent; Notice that good old wobbling Keir has now decided that women can’t have penises.

What does the man stand for, it’s difficult to work out. Never Labour.

To be honest with you, I think the vast majority of the British public's main concerns are on the cost of living crisis, fuel bills, policing, schools, and of course the NHS, rather than whether women have todgers!

brexit = “commercial wokery”?

That’s…erm…a bit of a stretch of logic

Also policy free areas for Sir Kier. Corbyn was a better leader.

I understand why you'd think that as a Tory.

It's a little transparent though.

 

[Oslernorth]

It turns out Farage isn’t the only one to be affected.

Gina Miller's political party bank account to be closed

Just business.

No, that's insider trading.

Forgot about her. Absolute fruitcake of a woman.

You’d do it for a few mil though

 

[Robie]

Brill, every time I hear of this story I think to myself, tell me more, I wish there was a thread about it on yellowsforum. And now I am fully satisfied, thank you.

Whereas the tories have a coherent position? Right! They’re not a disorganised fragmented shower of s**t that repeatedly betray British workers and embarrass the country internationally.
It looks to me like Labour are following the Australian approach (in a parallel with the Lynton Crosby Aussie mimicking by the tories). In the previous election, Labor should have won but bill shorten went hard on some radical policies which the dog whistle media shredded. This time Anthony Albanese was very quiet on policy and Labor smashed the election. The only things the media contested him on were the kind of culture wars b*****s that you refer to here which isn’t going to decide any elections.

 

[Essexyellows]

No, that's insider trading.

Nope its playing the market using "the media" as the lever.

More than one person knew what was happening, how it was going to pan out, and the crunch is the Chief Exec shouldn`t be blabbing about customers personal account information to journo`s.

I thought Coutts were better than that, might have to change now.

No, if you use short selling tactics and manipulate the price to your advantage, that is a crime.

They’ve had 13 years and they’ve managed what? The bigots, racists and walking dead, dragged us out of Europe, boasting that we’d all be better off. Well I haven’t noticed an upturn in fortune. The NHS is crumbling under their watch. Police are under manned and under funded. Utility costs have sky rocketed but the service provided has dropped over a cliff. Transport is akin to 3rd world countries. But during all this, CEO’s and directors have creamed off huge salaries and the galling thing is that they get paid bonuses for f*****g up.
We’ve have had Johnson and Truss “leading” the nation. One a habitual liar the other must’ve been beamed down from some alien planet.
I would rather see Swindon win the Champions League than vote for these morons, perverts, liars and grifters.
