“Genuinely SHOCKED!” | Nigel Farage On The “Crusade” Of His Bank Account Being Closed

- Banks could lose their licences if they close customers’ accounts over their political views, it has been reported.
According to The Times, ministers are considering making new laws that stop banks turning customers away in an effort to protect free speech.
Nigel Farage tells Julia Hartley-Brewer that he was “genuinely shocked at the hate, the vitriol and the prejudice” from Coutts bank.
“You can only get that from privately educated people, normally with double barrelled names, living in the best districts of London.”
In a new statement, a Coutts spokesperson said: "We recognise the substantial interest in this case. We cannot comment on the detail given our customer confidentiality obligations.
"However, it is not Coutts' policy to close customer accounts solely on the basis of legally held political and personal views.
"Decisions to close an account are not taken lightly and involve a number of factors including commercial viability, reputational considerations, and legal and regulatory requirements.
"We recognise the critical importance of access to banking. When it became clear that our client was unable to secure banking facilities elsewhere, and as he has confirmed publicly, he was offered alternative banking facilities with NatWest. That offer stands.
"We understand the public concern that the processes for ending a customer relationship, and how that is communicated, are not sufficiently transparent."

Trudeau started this and got away with it.
Correct
100% true.
But remember Canada is a democratic liberal democracy… as long as you don’t have unapproved views!
It's been going on before Treadu, It's just most chose to ignore it because the people de-banked weren't liked.
@@sussyboy7043exactly. Every country has freedom of expression. It's just that if you hold some views, you will get a consequence.
The Labour Party are very quiet about this scandal.
Yep supposedly our next Govt and not seen a single Labour MP say how awful it is. They won't incase they upset their base which means if you like Farage, Labour hates you.
Aren't they just.
Because its no longer the Labour party just as our current rulers who are very quiet on this - theyre all part and parcel of one and the same party. The quisling globalist bilderberg liblabcon party. Its a club and Nigel and we aren't in it.
I wrote to my MP (Labour) when this happened. She seemed totally unconcerned and told me it was because he never had the required balance in his account. I wrote back telling her (Emman Hardy) this was not true. No reply.
They caused it.
Nigel should be able to sue them for defamation and lies.
Not sure its possible because they didnt accuse him but rather cited sources which were defamatory, and then said they are concerned
And win a huge payout so passing Coutts wealth test!
@@chronomaster5779what did they cite to justify their misogynist and racist claims?
@@Em-fem didnt you see? The dodgy media articles
It's not Defamation if it is true.
Talk about a breach of customer confidentiality by Coutts going to BBC to disclose his bank balance. It is shocking behaviour.
It's evil.
The CEO of Coutts.
Coutts? That is the right spelling yes?
This is terrifying, thanks for standing up again Nigel!
Let him sit, its tiresome to keep standing
@@chronomaster5779 It's tiresome to keep seeing anti free speech.

Thank you Nigel.
@@Aerojet01 are you referring to the global phenomenon or this subject in particular?
He didn't have enough money going into the account to keep it open. Get real.
A bank claiming any kind of moral high ground is completely laughable.
Same goes for Murdoch Media.

Just to let you know that in the early morning Yours is my program of choice
I like Talk Radio and G B News however you said to Nigel Farage that it was good to have him on the right channel at last so I would like to inform you that Nigel used to be a regular contributor on Talk Radio with Mike Graham before his contract with G B News
That was of course after he left L B C who also canceled him
Keep up the good work
@HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings What the eff are you babbling on about. You comparing Farage with Hitler??? You need professional help.
What about his discrimination towards immigrants/asylum seekers… Where’s your moral outrage concerning that…
@sharonwilliams974 he has no discrimination. Even his wife is an immigrant your talking nonsense 🙄
No bank should be allowed to do this and any bank that does should be severely punished for doing so
They apparently didn't want their reputation to be damaged by being associated with Nigel Farage - their reputation has been ruined by what they've done to him, so well done them. Their own Bud Light moment.
Any private organisation has the right to refuse service to anyone without needing to give a reason or justify it. Whatever happened to freedom of choice?
@@RedCraig yeah next they will be taking the money keeping it
@@RedCraig A private business that is representing in the public sector, even though they have the right, doesn't mean it is right, it is generally not done, (I also don't think it's legal to be prejudice) , that's like going to Tescos and they refuse to serve you for no good reason.
Its bad for business, it is for no other reason but political, had this had been done on colour or religion, it would be interesting to see if they had the right then.. Its prejudice and I'm not sure that is legal.
@@RedCraig No, they don't actually.
The high and mighty pick on the wrong man .Thank you Nigel.
Good for Nigel hopefully they will get the law changed and stop these banks from acting like idiots
No Law or legislation can prevent people acting like idiots. If that were possible then this poor benighted country would be much better run but " Breeding will out"!.
Jim Winter what on earth are you talking about ? Coutts decided they did not want Farage as a customer and I do not see that is a problem for anyone but him. He should stop moaning and find a new Bank.
This grifter is getting way to much airtime…..and he’s lying again ! He had no problem appearing on the bbc last night, where he had his ar$e handed to him by a financial expert !
@@annewalden3795 the bank has acted illegally -that us the point .He had not had his account closed for any commercial reason -Coutts have illegally publicly disclosed his financial details , they have libelled him .And stupidly they by their action they have attracted the attention of HMRC to their customers with the result that many clients are now rapidly moving their accounts elsewhere where their financial confidentiality is secure ..
Its far more sinister than idiocy im afraid. Its Stalinesque. Its about being punished for lacking in Marxist credentials.
Thank God for ppl like Nigel - just shows how caring he is for the British public
Great joke
Spot on you are 100 percent correct
The CEO should be held in court for discrimination, can't imagine how bad it would be with the fairy party
The bank should lose their licence.

They called him a "grifter" (a person who engages in petty or small-scale swindling) - isn't that libel?
YES WITHOUT A DOUBT
Also called him racist and a mysogenist
Didn't Nigel call the head of the EU a second rate banker?? Loves throwing out stuff but doesn't like anything in return. Poor Nigel bla.......
I love it when Nige goes on the Rampage - I agree with him completely - these Gangsters running the banks need to be brought under control and debanking needs to be banned outright.
The only way your bank account should be closed is if it can be proved that it is being used for illicit purposes. But so many people are apparently having their accounts shut down because of the way they think or vote. This simply has to stop.
Banksters
Banks need to be brought under control. Now that's scary
We bailed both his banks out. Nat West as well as Coutts .cash is king.
Shutting people out of the banking system is going to be the modern equivalent of sending dissidents to the gulag and it will be all the worse when the CBDC's come in.

Don't be silly Nigel. It s easy to open a Bank account. Look at all those new customers arriving in Dinghies. How do they draw their Government handouts if not through a Bank? They can't all queue up at the Post Office in Dover.
Ah yes, but theyre part of the 'correct' political agenda.
No UK bank would allow him to open an account. It's a literal conspiracy to cancel him. If you went to the grocery store and were turned away, then discovered that no grocery store in the entire country would let you shop there, that's what the banks are doing to NF.

I hope its also to keep my wee bit of money safe
If a business cares more about custtomours then their own business they fail
It should never be allowed for banks to close your account ever

I agree. If they think you're doing something illegal, let the law deal with it. Until there's an actual conviction, it's not their business. They aren't law enforcement. Even after a conviction, people still need to be able to get paid and to pay for their needs.

When did this start that a business like a bank thinks it's appropriate for them to decide what political views their clients can have? How can that be any concern of theirs?
When did you start to stupidly think that a private organisation isn’t allowed to refuse service?
When a business that depends on reputation tries to keep it. Which is why Coutts said use NatWest instead. Obviously Farage has blown that reputation up for many, but maybe the money launderers and others will just go to a Swiss bank as they used to
@@GaryJohnWalker1 Whatever you think of their reputation, they’re entitled to refuse service. That decision is their’s, not yours. The end.
@@RedCraig I think it's part publicity owned ?
@@thumper6160 it’s majority privately owned. 👍
This story isn't going away anytime soon!
Nigel Farage's political views are mainstream. It's disturbing that even he can be financially cancelled in a presumably liberal democracy. Such financial cancellation is also deleterious to public finances. It would drive more business activity underground.
Mainstream ahhh nope
If they are not prepared to act like a public bank then their public banking license should be cancelled. Everyone should have the basic right to basic banking services - a bank account, a debit card and payment facilities, no overdraft \ loan facilities.
ABSOLUTELY
it's a licence in this part of the world
I agree. Breaches of our data laws may also have been involved here too. The CEO of Nat West needs to go and go now. The honourable thing for her to do, a bit late in the day perhaps, would be to resign. It is unlikely that she will, however, so shareholders (after this banking group's greed and stupidity leading to the credit crunch in 2008), including ourselves as taxpayers, need to force an extraordinary general meeting at which she should be asked to explain her actions. If her explanation is unsatisfactory, she should be dismissed.
Coutts isn't a public bank FFS.
@@johnnypatterson7512the majority shareholder is the taxpayer. It’s very much public
This needs to be the beginning of the end of Wokery and the cancel culture!
@andyjary....but that would also mean, e.g abolishing the BBC licence fee and replacing it with a subscription model option giving people a choice. Oh hang on, not a bad idea.
@@fractionaldebtisfraud2187 Yes, Indeed! Plus many more things I can think of like what is being taught to my young children in schools that are uncalled for and disgraceful.

Nat West's banking licence should be revoked.
I love starting my day with you.
I saw an interview with Nigel yesterday and having spent over 17 years in banking I am applaud at this situation. In the USA this CEO violated our Privacy Laws, and if not her, someone in the bank did.
However, you keep broadcasting and I will keep watching.
We need right wing banks.
Actual right wing media not scared of left wing censors
Right wing social media
And unfortunately far right government to sort out the mess the extremely left wing of caused
We need stability we cannot even contact HMRC, electric and gas suppliers,banks in person, dentists and a heck of a lot more. We are all in limbo. Isn't it great in our sovereign nation? Yeah, I hoot, we have our sovereignty so it doesn't matter, whoop,whoop!
@@lindenbutters9396 UK favours foreign countries. funding Ukraine etc own citizens treated 3rd world. its like a subscription service. new arrivals/customers get discount existing citizens/customers pay more
No, we need banks with an ethical values.
No we don't, we need politically neutral banks
The left/right paradigm has little to do with it in this era. Ruling elites have adopted wokery and anti-populism irrespective of their views on economics.
What I can't get my head round is that if the bank is 40% owned by the taxpayer, then 40% of the board should have been government representatives. If that is so then the government must have known what was going on. Listening to Sunak's less than enthusiastic condemnation of the bank, I can well believe he knew exactly what was going on.
Strange character
Of course they know and fully approve
All Sunaks money is with his missus abroad. The rest of them are probably worrying that their dodgy dealings are going to get uncovered.

@francispalmer9737 agreed the people do not understand that once the state have control .
They never give it back freely
Use cash
'Dame' Alison Rose, a history graduate, and diversity pick for CEO of Natwest, a taxpayer owned company is to Natwest what Heinerscheid was to Bud Light.
Her dinner with Simon Jack the evening before the BBC published a story mendaciously claiming Farage didn't meet their minimum balance requirements for an account at Coutts showed an appalling lack of judgement and malice now that we know that Farage's political stance 'did not align with the company's values'. Rose has overseen a pivot towards saving the planet and LGBT rights since taking the helm at Natwest and is a partisan political activist and hack.
Rose should be sacked.
40% is not taxpayer owned
You don't comply with our values:
We are cutting your electricity supply.
We are cutting your water supply.
You don't comply with our values:
We refuse to take your council tax.😂
That's why they want smart meters in every house hold.Because they can switch off your supply.
Personally I've had many phone calls emails as well as two letters per month. After I said no to a Smart, It's next to bullying!

Agree, banking is just the beginning.
And when did that ever happen
Yep this has been coming for a long time.
Very satirical. I wonder how it would go if a Council Tax Payer refused to pay their CT, because the Council's Values (for example, housing Illegals ahead of the local homeless or supporting Trans Weirdos going into local schools) "do not align with mine". Interesting point.
Boycott Nat West!
Good luck with that.
The Nat West is 38% owned by the taxpayer since they were bailed out -2010 i think. Essentially Nat West was bankrupt due to corruption.
I did about ten years ago, awful bank.
Cancel their banking licence
Everyone should have a legal right to a bank account
They do, but we don't all have the right to have the specific bank account that we want.

@@AvailableHandle Not sure Farage would want to keep his Coutts account now it looks like they've broken multiple laws.
@@AvailableHandleperhaps you’re struggling to follow the story, but he’s up to ten banks refusing to open an account.
@fanfeck2844 He's been offered an account with Nat West. Perhaps he only wants an account that he can't have. Perhaps he's not quite as credit-worthy as he'd like us to think.
O
The government is the majority shareholder in the banking Group, all they have to do is tell them to drop this nonsense as they are the majority owner. Odd they are not doing it.
The conservative party say one thing but do nothing, can anyone name one thing they've promised to do and actually done?

Excellent report. Very well covered, good luck and don’t let the sods grind you down.
Coutts bank has said it does not close customer accounts "solely on the basis of legally held political and personal views".
The fact they say "solely" means that an individuals political or personal views are indeed a factor.

This is outrageous
Taking it so well Nigel. Bravo to you. I hope regular people take it with a laugh and joke like you can
very interesting point on the right to a bank account with the post office. having a bank account is just something most of us just take for granted.

Society needs to get a hold of this very quicklty. Your elected representatives should be suspending Coutts' banking licence with immediate effect. Then start asking quesions. Then all Coutts directors and shareholder should have vital services withdrawn. I would love to see the chairman trying to find an emergency plumber, as he has water pouring through his ceiling, only to be told his values are out of line. If the banks are going after Farage like this then they will be coming for you next.

I'd very much appreciate if someone in the media would look at the energy smart meters situation. They can be turned off remotely - possibly even by AI moving forwards.
We were told that they weren't compulsory, but that was another lie. All meters have a certified period of accuracy - as little as 10 years in many cases. Once that certificate is up the meters ARE compulsory.
Once we're on meters we can be cut off from the grid - either permentantly or peak times - as 'punishment' for holding the wrong political beiefs.

DISGRACEFUL BEHAVIOUR.
Labour very silent on this,surely this is exactly what they tell the public they are against,the silence is deafening
Coutts have bought the spotlight down on themselves and it may just have opened the proverbial can of worms for them. They are now under intense scrutiny and will probably/hopefully live to regret what they've done.

The establishment never seems to realise that attacking Mr Farage only ever has the reverse effect it was intended to have. Posh people who think they are untouchable have still not learnt how popular the man still is, despite their continued efforts.
I bank with NatWest and I am going to fire off a mail asking whether they align with my ideals - I bet it will achieve nothing personally, but 19 million of us might frighten them a bit :)
The entire Board of Coutts should resign in shame or be sacked; as too should the entire Board of the BBC. The Government as stakeholder of these organisations must bring this about as the public have had enough. If the Government will not do this, the people have to remove the Government. This has gone too far.

The only reason I cling on to the idea of having a public funded broadcasting system is because advertising companies have exactly the same level of power as the banks, if not more. It's their patronage decides on what we can see and hear.
