- Nigel Farage, a prominent Brexiteer and broadcaster, claimed that his bank accounts have been closed without given reason, suggesting serious political persecution at the highest level.
- Farage refused to name the prestigious banking group involved but stated that the closures were part of an establishment plot to force him out of the UK.
- Other parties and politicians on the right of politics, such as the Reclaim Party and Reform UK, have also reportedly been denied bank accounts or had accounts closed, indicating a coordinated effort by financial institutions to target right-wing figures.
I keep hearing this more and more. Banks shouldn’t be allowed to just shut down someone’s bank account suddenly without warning or explination. You need a bank account. You can’t opperate in the modern world without one. It’s unpersoning someone.
If the account is being used for criminal activities, laundering or circumventing sanctions, among other things, then they are legally obligated to freeze activity on it.
Farage is doing his usual of bullshitting to create rage bait blaming the establishment of trying to stop him bringing the truth to people when the simple fact is he is part of the establishment and he is a filthy, lying grifter.
