[Politics] Dame Alison Rose resigns

[Herr Tubthumper]

We aren't all blessed with your encyclopaedic memory of every word printed on every thread. My apologies if I missed a line on here somewhere, and to answer the question, no I am not going to re-read the whole thread to see where it was.

Now you're being childish. It's tedious, and lazy, when people post the same stuff which has already been posted, and addressed, multiple times.

There are about 30 guilty parties on that count, just on this thread alone.

What's same sex cake? Does cake have more than one sex these days now too, bloody hell, where will it end.

Them-on drizzle cake?

Shows what a cosy club the banking system is. The lot of them should have gone to prison after 2008 and what they did to working people in this country.

The BoE crew should be going to prison for what they are doing to working people NOW.

Banking has always been corrupt and probably always will be.

I think that maybe @Is it PotG? @shingle @dsr-burnley etc should all try and open accounts at Coutts and report back. Because if they aren't allowed Coutts accounts either it will prove they've not only cancelled Farage, but also all his followers.

And shirley that would be definitive proof that it's politically motivated

What was your opinion of the Irish cake company refusing same sex cake on grounds of religious beliefs?

‘Gay cake’ row: man loses seven-year battle against Belfast bakery | European court of human rights | The Guardian

ECHR says Gareth Lee’s case against bakery that refused to make cake with ‘support gay marriage’ message is inadmissible

amp.theguardian.com

This was already covered a few pages back.
Asher's Bakery won its case on appeal.

The bakery said they would bake the cake but not the message, so, therefore, were not discriminating against anyone.
Your link says the gay man lost his seven year battle against the Belfast bakery.

Ashers 'gay cake' row: Bakers win Supreme Court appeal

Questions are now being asked whether the judgement will have an impact on discrimination laws.

I posted on facebook years ago that i liked Tim Henman (as a tennis player) wondering if i should delete it ..just in case my Post Office account is closed

Personally hate Farage, but he’s just a customer with a bank and unless he’s doing something illegal his views should not impact that.
For an employee to wade in in a public manner by commenting on a customer is a basic no no that would get you fired in most situations. It’s not exactly whistle blowing.

Is that right that Coutts criteria was you either had to have a balance of over £1million, borrowings of over £2million or to be deemed a ‘person of influence’ to have an account. Farage failed on all three apparently hence the account was closed?

He went to an independent school and his childhood garden included a full size tennis court. Quite rightly you were cancelled.

I’m going to post on Facebook that I like Charlotte Church and Stormzy, to open financial doors.

And this is the reason why this is important.



This is pure spite from the remainers who are still sore that they lost, even though they had nearly the whole establishment supporting remain.

You really are clueless. Nige has been earning a lovely amount of cash over the years by milking the EU for expenses and not turning up and having people like you fund his political parties, oh, and all the by elections he's never won. As for " The Establishment " I think you will find they were Pro Leave right up until when they realised they can't make money in the UK any more so they are re-locating their businesses to the EU.

The Coutts dossier touched on the criteria, they almost certainly retain customers who dip below and they stated Farage was still profitable to them. It stemmed on their wiki etc searches about him, the committee mentioned the reputable risk.

Close Lenny, from Coutts own criteria

"To open an account all UK clients and expats are required to save £3m+ or borrow (such as through a mortgage) or invest more than £1m with Coutts. To become an international client, you are required to save, borrow or invest more than £3m with us, depending on your country of residence."

Do you want me to put a word in for you

Coutts didn't have a problem with General Pinochet, I wonder what their values are?

That Pinochet and Farage are equally welcome as customers, regardless of being complete ****s until they don't meet the financial criteria

NatWest/Coutts as a whole?

- accept £100m’s in cash from criminal gangs.
- a raisin d’etre for wealthy clients resident in the UK of offshore tax planning.
- a question, are swathes of Coutts clients stinking rich and tax averse, but they wisely stay under the reputational risk radar?
