No he's right, some of the people involved in the January 6th coup attempt also lost their business accounts.

Goddamn woke banks, not wanting to continue doing business with insurrectionists trying to overturn a democratic vote!

Do you think it's just him?

re read my post about what they brought into states of america

debanking farage for paying off his fucking mortgage to the point where he dropped below the minimum deposited requirement for keep his bank account open in a posh bank

is very fucking different from being debanked, keep this level amount of money in your account or we will close it ..

drops below "well my fucking rights have been taken away"


making that a comparison of what been brought into some states of the usa after the defeat of roe vs wade makes your comparison of the two a fucking embarrassing

Forget Farage. It's happened to hundreds of organisations and individuals. Read something other than the Guardian.

forget the example you brought into the discussion

how about forget anyone's opinion who is old enough to remember section 28 being implemented by thatcher , old enough to see it repealed and is to stupid to see a dog whistle from the right when they talk about which bathrooms, sports and fucking pronouns fella

the second place finisher has a don't say gay bill implemented and was not see as extreme enough for the people who turned up in Iowa

Eh?

You mentioned Farrage, not me. You obviously think he's the only example of the denial of deprivation of banking facilities.

tbh spy not going to get into smallest detail arguing with you at this time on a tuesday

I absolutely didn't, and the fact that you think that speaks volumes as to the bubble you're locked into.

 

[Rob Ray]

The funny thing about the debanking furore is the right didn't care at all when it was happening to foreigners and lefties over years and decades. Freedom of the private market to work with who it wants, baby, look how the banks are joining the fight against the bad guys.

I guess that particular ideological keystone is more conditional than previously suggested.

Meanwhile here's left economist Richard Murphy warning about an actual massive overreach into people's financial lives, which the right won't care about until it happens to toadface.

The government’s desire to have access to the bank accounts of every benefit claimant – including pensioners – whilst refusing to take powers to tackle tax abuse – reveals malicious intent on their part

This speech was made by Labour backbench Sir Stephen Timms in the House of Commons on 29 November during a debate on the government's new Data Protection Bill. I thought it so significant it was worth sharing most of it, some more minor issues being edited out for the sake...

I can't be arsed. Just Google it.

Debanking is widespread and has been for years. Not just in the UK, and not just individuals but entire industry and commercial sectors.

You seriously think this is all about Nigel fucking Farage?

De-banking: a hidden menace

Not for the first time, Nigel Farage made the headlines, albeit this time because he chose to announce he had been “de-banked” by the private bank, Coutts, part of the NatWest banking group. The term "de-banking" refers to the act of a bank or financial institution unilaterally severing its...

Debanking for political reasons doesn't sound all that widespread, according to the Pinsent Masons link

The regulator collected data from 34 firms for its report, which highlighted four potential cases of political de-banking. But further analysis indicated that these closures were primarily due to customer behaviour, such as racist language directed at staff, rather than the legitimate expression of political beliefs.

According to the FCA report, the most common reasons for personal account closure were inactive or dormant accounts, financial crime, and customer failure to produce identification. For business account closures, the primary reason was the commercial cost of complying with anti-financial crime requirements, which particularly affected cash-intensive, adult entertainment, pawnbroking, and crypto businesses.

anyways back to trump

Here are some key takeaways from the first day of Trump's defamation damages trial​

From CNN's Jeremy Herb, Kara Scannell and Lauren del Valle

Donald Trump attended the first day of his civil defamation trial, watching as a jury was selected to determine how much, if any, damages the former president must pay to E. Jean Carroll for his 2019 defamatory statements about Carroll’s sexual assault allegations.
Trump’s courthouse attendance Tuesday — where he attended jury selection but did not speak — came one day after his resounding Iowa caucuses win, yet another illustration of how Trump’s campaign and legal fortunes are intertwined.
Trump watched as prospective jurors were asked about their political donations to him and his political opponents, whether they believed the 2020 election was stolen and how they got their news. He left court before opening statements to travel to New Hampshire for a campaign event Tuesday evening with the primary one week away.
Here are takeaways from the first day of the defamation trial:

• Carroll's attorney argues for ‘very significant’ damages sum: Carroll’s lawyer Shawn Crowley told the jury Trump’s attacks on her client when he was president “unleashed his followers” and caused her to receive threats. “Trump was president when he made those statements, and he used the world’s biggest microphone to attack Ms. Carroll to humiliate her and to destroy her reputation,” Crowley said. The lawyer argued that the damages awarded to Carroll “should be significant, very significant."
• Trump's attorney says Carroll has prospered since the allegations came out: Trump attorney Alina Habba argued that Carroll’s reputation was not harmed by Trump and that her career prospered since she came forward with the sexual assault allegations. Habba told the jury to remember, “This case is not about assault. We had that case. This case is about the defamation.” Carroll waited for the opportune time to publicly share her story to maximize coverage, Trump’s lawyer claimed.
• Jurors are familiar with Trump: Two of the prospective jurors said they agreed with Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election had been stolen. Three potential jurors said they donated to Trump or groups supporting him. All three said that wouldn’t affect their ability to be fair and impartial. None of those prospective jurors were ultimately selected for the trial jury. More than 10 said they’d donated to Biden and other top Democrats. Three prospective jurors said they believe Trump is being treated unfairly by the US court system. A male juror in the gallery stood to answer that question before it was his turn.
• What’s next in the trial: Carroll is slated to testify Wednesday in the trial, which is expected to last a few days. Trump’s lawyers have also indicated he plans to testify, although Trump has changed his mind on testifying before in other trials. The judge has limited the testimony in the case to damages and harm, ruling that the jury’s verdict in the first defamation trial will also carry over to this case.

Debanking for political reasons doesn't sound all that widespread

It's not all that common, but it's also been going on for years. My main response has been vague annoyance that once again we're being told that it's a sudden world-ending discovery because it happened to Farage, which is fucking typical of the right. If it's not happening to my team it's not a problem, etc etc.

I'm only replying to you mate. I disagree with you. That's all.

And you're just plain wrong about debanking/Farage.
