‘Now is not the time’ I would imagine.

Haha yes. I’ve been completely unable to live the last 40 years because I don’t qualify for Coutts.
I kind of agree. Bloody stupid thing to do to leave a trail mind you!Well he is correct for once is he not? Banks can only remove customers for certain reasons - or so it is claimed - though of course in reality they can do what they want (though I suspect they now wish they had not with Mr Farage)
When banks can close accounts – and what to do if yours is affected
Telegraph Money explains why closures happen and the rules for reopening an account
Only a madman would support a banks right to not allow customers if they did not like their political opinions - though I am sure it would have removed some rather irritating left wing figures in the 80's I would rather listen to the irritating figures.
The next step could be to do what was done to Graham Phillips - effectively a state sanctioning of denying banking access. Oh and I really cannot be bothered about you sending me silly memes as I have dared to mention his name.
The next step is to make a citizen a complete non citizen as with Shamima Begum
None of it is for me.
Even Blair had a plan for recovering a crumbling infrastructure etc. Ok it was badly flawed, but there was a plan! I find it very hard to accept the Labour Party colluding in the breakup of the NHS.

Like Shamima Begum?
Which of course people do... but usually aren't stupid enough to leave a trail!
He'd agree I suspect exactly like her
Possibly. But Nigel doesn’t. He’s fine with her losing her status as he was fine with a baker (IIRC) refusing the business of someone because they had opposing ideology. Sounds to me that Nigel’s chickens have come home to roost, he’s got the society he wanted and it’s come back to bite him so he’s fighting it with pure hypocrisy. I have little sympathy for him despite the fact I think it would be wrong for a bank to refuse his business because of his ideology.
So, as a mid-level seat-warmer in the financial industry for a good few years now, I've got to say that disclosing a customer's personal information without their permission is a sackable offence. Even if they are a complete wanker. If it was me I would have just said that he no longer meets the financial criteria for a Coutt's account, and bounced him out regardless, the other stuff was unnecessary.
The real scandal in banking isn't rich arseholes being unable to impress their mates with a posh chequebook, it's average people having their accounts closed without any reason being given (often via the mysterious fraud flag, CIFAS). More on that in the link below, but I either way I seriously doubt a Tory government will look to change this - Labour will undoubtedly be too busy giving blow-jobs to the Daily Mail editoral staff to worry about it overmuch either, should they get in.
Sunak, Farage, and the corrupt orifice that is the Tory party banging on about "standards" though... that's taking the piss, frankly.
