Has anybody watched any of it? I've tried it a few times. Currently watching something called Dewbs and Co and it's absolutely dreadful. 

Anybody seen anything good on it?

Their are a number of protected characteristics

Being a cunt isnt one of em, so theres no reason a business cant choose who to deal with

Or there shouldnt be, anyway

If their documents said he had been denied an account because he was black would that be OK?

 

That's some leap you've made there.

TM making a unsubstantiated leap? Never.

He has the money.

The documents reveal their real reasons and now it seems that legislation may be necessary. 

This "free market" argument doesn't stack up- their policy is anything but free.

Moreover, markets are governed by regulations. If their documents said he had been denied an account because he was black would that be OK?

Basically, they're discriminating. And there is anecdotal evidence for this: not so long ago a religious couple who own a b&b refused to allow a gay couple to stay with them on the grounds it went against their beliefs. The couple took them to court and won.

It also somewhat comical that Mr Coutts had very strong links to slavery. The managers should be cancelling themselves. 

Regarding the gay couple, your sexuality is a protected characteristic.

Unfortunately for Nigel, being a cunt isn't.

Imagine being upset because Nigel Farage is being discriminated against.

Imagine that.

Is it a coincidence that it's generally the same people who love(d) Johnson and Trump?

I've seen all the statments, but they've been found out.

They devolved incorrect information to the bbc, who then ran with it. So much for customer confidentiality. Their own internal documents reveal that they did in fact cancel his account for his beliefs.

They're on a sticky wicket for sure.

Imagine accusing someone of being racist when they're not.

Farage is a racist. Of that there is no doubt.

I believe he's a racist as well, but on it's own, that's no reason to close down his account

That'll teach me to read the thread.😀

'If you must write prose or poems, the words you use should be your own. Don't plagiarize or take 'on loan'. There's always someone, somewhere, with a big nose, who knows, who'll trip you up and laugh when you fall'

Ah Moz!

I thought the problem was that Farage didn't qualify for a Coutts account because he didn't have enough money to deposit into it?

Ssshhhhhh

Dont let basic rules get in the way of some snowflakey screeching

Elitist bank behaves in an elitist manor shock.

As Spider says I can't believe people are spending so much time on it as though its the start of some state wide conspiracy.

 

i see mogg brought it up (i think that broke parliamentary rules tbh) and referred to him as a member of the opposition

hes not, and has never got close to being, an mp

 

and when you look at some of the shithouses who are, thats seriously embarassing

hes a cunt though, thats for sure

I think that after all that, our dearest Aussie racist was right about the UKIP racist …

Farage is a prick, but he shouldn’t have had his account shut. Is my understanding at least. 
 

Still think it’s all been blown out of proportion. Apology made, time to move on. Bigger problems in the world than this story. 

Not too quick

Frances Coppolla makes a very good case the he stopped qualifying for an acvount once he paid off his mortgage

While a cunt, farridge is very good at manipulating the story, media and the gullible

Example, him making this front page news, when in reality all its about is a bit more self publicity

Nothing new has come out. By paying off his mortgage he fell below the criteria to have an account.

I believe this to be true as Farage has not only not denied he has said there was no warning it was going to happen. 
 

The internal Coutts committee have fucked up by actual recording what was said in a meeting and what was said was opinion rather than proven fact. 
 

Can we all please note that the apology to Nigel Farage from Coutts bank is the headline on the BBC News website FFS. Left wing bias ? Give me a fucking break. 

Coppolla nailed him on newsnight, couple of nights back

I think it’s because he didn’t tick yes when asked “are you a disingenuous twat?” On the application

No you daft fucker. Not ranting at all. Trying to make a clod aware of what could happen to him if he fiddles while Rome burns.

None is so blind as he who will not see. Carry on - you deserve all you get if the worst happens (which it won't be allowed too by those you like to level your sarcasm at).

Exactly. Not sure what the EU has to do with it either. In fact, I read earlier that under EU law you are entitled to a bank account, not that it matters in this case as he has been offered one with NatWest.

You need to do more reading on policies introduced by them with the expressed aim of trying to eradicate money laundering. This is the net in which thousands of innocents (especially those who operate with cash like Gonzo) have either been cancelled (or are in line to be) have been caught.

You don't want to know because a high profile one has been Farage. At the other end of the spectrum it's been George Galloway. Maybe that is more of an affront to the likes of you?
