What if it were more fundamental, such as healthcare or food.

Say you get unlisted from your local surgery or hospital because you said something about waiting times.

Or say your preferred supermarket is Sainsbury's 10 miles away and you're not permitted to drive there because petrol is evil, forcing you to use the Tesco's at the end of the road even though you vowed never to shop there again after they wrongly accused you of shoplifting 30 years ago because you supported the same football team as the person who was actually shoplifting.

               Now, that’s a damn good post imo and even though it seems incredible it’s closer
To the truth that it would seem.

It's total tin-foil hat-ery.

Shops and pubs can ban you. If you chose to live in a place with only one acceptable (to you) food outlet within 10 miles then that's a risk you chose to take.  I have 3 supermarkets (Tesco, Morrisons and Asda) all within a two mile walk plus several other corner shop/local type places (Coop, Nisa, Spar). There is always a risk that one shop is out of stock of something I want, so there are several other places I can probably get the same thing for a similar price.

The not being allowed to drive/travel is tin-foil hattery. Sure it may cost you charges and taxation.

I don't recall this uproar when Paypal unilaterally decided that OOF was no longer welcome to be a customer. Then promptly held on to our cash for 6 months before releasing it to us.

And effectively signalling the end of OOF due to cutting off our income stream.


But that waste of carbon called Farage, you all go radio rental over it. Cheers.

Full dossier should be in this link. They even used his retweet of a Rick Gervais joke as evidence ffs !

Yes.

Apparently Coutts/Nat West gets to decide what Farage is allowed to find amusing.

They can't stop themselves these days festooning their HQ with LGBT flags and Black History month crap with huge images of  Rashford.....(a young black lad unable to make minimum wage because of racism)

Perhaps you should have tried being a sleazy populist chancer instead of a grumpy git?

Paypal have been closing accounts of customers and organisations who have right wing views. Maybe they had a look at OOF and didnt like what they saw. They have committees of people who look at social media and websites of people who use their service, so you never know.
Toby young had his paypal account closed without explanation because he is leader of a free speech organisation.

Coutts on the other hand, doesnt mind banking money for Dictators, Mafia bosses, drug lords and Russian money launderers.

You did read my post about them being lying, self interested leeches?

Pinochet....

So their moral values 'align' with this dictator.

Death and torture specialist.

Banks should never try to take the moral high ground.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Since when did banks become the moral guardians of all that is right and good?

Banks are private buisneses, and free to decide who they want to deal with, and who they don't. Obviously they've decided they don't want Farage, either due to pressure from other (more valued) customers, or some internal management choice.

Coutts won't deal with me either - although in my case it's because I'm skint :-)

Presumably private water and electricity providers should also have the right to deny customers water and electricity if those people don't 'align' with their values or laugh at a joke by Ricky Gervais.

Hey many a true word is spoken in jest🤔

Nat West CEO Alison Rose has resigned this morning. She has admitted being the one who leaked an inaccurate version of events to the BBC.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

First rule of Banking is client confidentiality. When the CEO of Natwest group leaks details of a customer account to the BBC .Makes you wonder why the hell she was in the job in the first place.
