Where does that estimate come from?

It's interesting in the sense that it was essentially deliberate but as a victim of previous data breaches involving thousands of customers and sensitive financial information, I would be pretty peeved if the ico drag out the heavy artillery for a breach that affected one person. Ironically the coutts dossier that upset him so much is one of the most accurate political biographies of our time.
Again though you are conflating two things:
The dp breach - illegal
Farage account downgraded - not illegal
I am sure the next time a gay couple want a cake made you will be firmly back in the 'private firms can do business with whoever they please' camp just like the noisy right-wing commentariat and government who are really just looking to distract.
This has been going on for years
Mostly left wing people losing their jobs , having their bank accounts investigated
Farage is right wing and a gobshite so it's in the news
LOM has, very occasionally, said something on here that has provoked me into a “fit”, but you won’t - you’re not worth it, because in a few months time you’ll be posting under a different name, again, and the whole boring game will start all over anew.
One thing I will say mind, Emily Maitlis has been nothing to do with the BBC for a year, probably longer - she has a new identity now, but, has kept the name she had before, bit of a schoolboy error there on your part.
I see Gina Miller’s had her political party’s bank account closed. The difference in media reaction to this news compared to what we’ve seen with Farage is surprising as I thought Ms Miller was supposed to be a representative of the “dark forces” that are really running things in this world - I would have thought there would be ructions in the mainstream media about this.
That’s unlike her not to mention this, she is usually very good at getting air time and publicity
Do you have the source article?
John Mann , Labour MP
Refused a job by Ciba Gigy after The Economic League informed them he was a subordinate
Which might have just mean he stood on a picket line when he was a student
Will that do ?
If you want to find evidence of right wing moves to snuff out the left Google The Economic League
Going on way before poor little nigel got his fingers burned
Well, you just can’t barrage the Farage, can you?
Gina Miller? The queen of the Squealing Marys after Brexit thought she could raise the profile of her low ranking hedge fund bt attaching herself to the anti-Brexit campaign. The banks egged her on as they didn’t have the guts to take it on. She spent money. She lost. Brexit went through. Her credibility shot. Far from raising her profile she is now seen as a woke loser in the City’s hedge funds. Her profile is now lower than before, as evidenced by the lack of attention now gets. Bless her, she is still trying her best to raise her crap profile. She is a loser, and a charmless one at that.
Farage on the other hand is a wily old fox. With a good background in metals trading and deep understanding of te financial markets, politics and history, he knows when to strike a win, and when to lay low. The Brexit Party at the Euro elections a few years back were a huge success - a win. He got Brexit in the bag - a win. Now he has clubbed the forgettable woke-head at NatWest, Alison Rose. Another win chalked up. He served the head of Coutts leader on a plate. Another win chalked up. He has the Chairman of Natwest panicking and on the ropes. A few more jabs and I reckon he’ll be out for the count. Probably another win there.
People can be Squealing Mary as much as they want, but the woke have had the whip hand for a decade or so, and people are now having enough. The boot is on the other foot and the screamers don’t like it. I suspect Farage is a bit unsavoury behind the scenes but he is an effective leader, debater, politician and presenter and successful in all those arenas.
There are winners and losers in life. Love him, loathe him, or indifferent, he is a winner and is a case study in personal effectiveness. His opponents are a lesson in failure, and no amount of squealing by his detractors can avoid the fact that they are losers, and are being repeatedly clubbed at full force like a baby seal.
Standing for parliament isn’t the only definition of winning, albeit a narrow crude one. The cause that he stood for for over a decade, and resisted by Major and Cameron/Osborne, Labour, SNP and Plaid Cymru, was successful. The skill in his achievement was getting Brexit achieved without winning a Parliamentary seat. His life goal was achieved.
Many politicians can sit in a seat for a decade and not achieve their life goals. You have a very odd way of looking at politicians and politics if you look at things that narrowly. Or you are desperately trying to convince yourself that he has failed.
Perhaps it is time for your retirement home Bob. I’d say you’ve lost the plot completely.
