You've sent me 7 (seven) messages.
The first five were asking for my phone number. The final two were asking me to reply.
If we go back a page, you asked me (out of the blue) what my job is. I replied asking for your linkedin, and I thought it would be pretty obvious that I wasn't being serious but you seemed to take it literally.
So, just to be clear, I have absolutely no interest in chatting to you on the phone. Why the hell would I want to ring you up?
So it seems Coutts did lie?
Worrying stuff really. And who sets the rules?

Question to everyone really - if you had your bank account shutdown - and you then establish that it is because of your political view points on this message board - would you be ok with that ?.
Wasnt happy in the 1980's when my Dad was effectively stopped from getting a promotion because of his somewhat 'firebrand' approach' to union life
Those who were considered a threat to the conservatives over the years wether they be trade unionists, miners support groups , academics, actors were treated like shit and often had far worse done to them than not get promotion or have their bank accounts closed
The Economic League were a group of right wing captains of industry , bank managers , government advisors who kept a record of people they thought a danger ...even gay rights activists ! .....to conservative policies
What happened to farage is a grain of sand in the desert compared to so many others who were not right wing
The book is called The Economic League ....The Silent McCarthyism
Named after the anti communist ......or anyone who wasn't a right wing republican .....witch hunts in the USA
Nothing whatsoever (again) to do with right & left.The guy is an absolute idiot and his ideology is extremely dubious but the bank are hypocritical.
How many of their account holders are oligarchs, CCP members etc ?

No but its a mere drop in the ocean to hear of right wing politicians and those in society getting stiffed like the socialists or those thought to be have been
The Economic League was basically the gestapo and stasi of the tory party for many years till it got rumbled
Put it this way losing your bank account was the least of your worries if that lot had you under surveillance
It's very much to do with right or left as the left have been stiffed by right wing surveillance groups for years
The Economic League were paid by the Conservative Party and big business to disrupt those that didn't agree with
Old farage got off very lightly
Some lefties are still missing !
So if a right wing bank (if there is such a thing) blocked your account, then blocked anyone of a left wing leaning opinion that had posted in a football forum - you would take it on the chin ? - I thought you had more bollox than that.
Maybe a review by the FSA into account holders at Coutts needs to be looked at..
Whether it's Farage or Michael Foot matters not.
And for once I agree with you - plenty of unionist firebrands in the 70's and 80's had a mark against their name - some officially - others not - but where their employer knew what they were like and decided to never give them promotion regardless of skill level.
Snowflake?! I don't think having your bank account shut without warning is like sitting on a university course and coming across a historic word you don't like.
Surely anyone liberal recognises this is fundementally wrong?
It also interestingly highlights who the core audience for many 'woke' views are, and it seems to be the giant banks, fearful one assumes of a reaction by a tiny minority on social media?
I don’t know about firebrands’ but thousands of trades unionists, socialists and communists were prevented from working at all - not just blocked for promotion. The Economic League ran an employment blacklist - as I know to my cost.
And ‘left’ and ‘right’ is absolutely relevant. Those who claim political views are irrelevant or that there is no left or right any more are the new foot soldiers of the alt right. They have their own devious and dishonest agenda. The political left are and always will be the enemies of wealth and privilege and exploitation. The right are the apologists of wealth and privilege. It is easy!
I have tried to tell you that this sort of sly stuff has been going on for years by the political facade YOU prop up against people you label as lefties ......strangely enough not much mention
It's only when one of your lot gets stiffed......farage ... that suddenly nigel farage is a poster boy for the downtrodden
I suppose we have to be grateful it's in the news
I would absolutely oppose this happening to anyone based on this criteria. I am no fan of banks at all and will argue against things like a cashless society and excessive surveillance at every turn. Can you cite a recent example to back up your claim?
And even if you are right, and perhaps you are, you tolerating this only makes it more likely to happen to anyone in the future.
