NatWest staff wanted to ‘throw milkshake’ at Nigel Farage over debanking row, bombshell documents reveal

Conversations between bank staff revealed how workers boasted they had ‘driven him out of the country’

NatWest staff wanted to ‘throw a milkshake’ at Nigel Farage, a new bombshell document uncovered by GB News can reveal.

In a subject access request, conversations between bank staff revealed how workers boasted they had ‘driven him out of the country’ after he was banned from having a Coutts account.

Another said they would ‘pay’ to be the person who told him he was being debanked.

Former Ukip leader Nigel submitted the subject access request to NatWest, which owns Coutts, unveiling all information the bank holds on him.

A Freedom of Access request revealed the staggering contempt Coutts staff held for Farage

In one conversation, a bank staffer says: “id throw a milkshake at him if i was approached to open an account for him [sic].”

One worker referenced a BBC article about Nigel having his bank account closed and said: “Hope that knocked him down a peg or 2 [sic].”

Another, which appears to be part of a WhatsApp group, said: “have you all seen Nigel Farages twitter?

“no one will bank him now.

“,have we single handedly drive NF out of the country?![sic]”

In June, Nigel revealed his bank account had been closed by the Natwest Group with no reason given for the closure.

The BBC later claimed he was a customer of Coutts and he had been debanked due to a lack of funds.

But a subject access request from Coutts, famed for being the bank of the Royals, revealed he was ‘exited’ by the bank because he did not ‘align with their values’.

Staff at the exclusive firm claimed he was racist, antisemitic and a “shameless grifter”.

Nigel has since switched to Lloyds Bank.

So, another great example of how proud the Dysfunctional Greenies are of their stupidity. Nigel Farage took his money (estimated at between 2 and 4 million pounds) to Lloyds. In the USA California, New York, and Illinois are driving out conservative investors, which they realized too late means the taxpayers are leaving and the tax consumers are arriving. The trend is comical.

I consider bank employees engaging in ESG activities to be embezzling, as they are disregarding their fiduciary duties.
It is as improper as an employee making business decisions dictated by the interests of their church.

“”Dear winter,

It seems that you intend to visit us again this year. I just want to make it clear – because researchers have found that expressing “feelings” about you in the form of a “dear winter” letter could make me less miserable at this time of year – that I did not invite you.””

The format of this article and others like it on WUWT make this almost unreadable. It just looks like a sloppy cut and paste job. How many images of Nigel Farage are required for an article btw?

The current rise in European right wing parties and groups is encouraging – I feel, I hope, the pendulum is about to turn on everything the extreme left have decimated in Govt and public institutions and this silly climate crisis hoax is replaced with policies for economic growth, secure energy and less globalisation and control from nefarious international bodies

it does not align with the bank’s purpose or B’Corp objectives.” …

The bank should make its purpose explicit before accepting an account. In a free society it should be able to turn away business if it wishes.

The B’Corp objectives are another matter.

B’Corp certification is based upon:

  • Demonstrate high social and environmental performance by achieving a B Impact Assessment score of 80 or above and passing our risk review. Multinational corporations must also meet baseline requirement standards. 
  • Make a legal commitment by changing their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders, and achieve benefit corporation status if available in their jurisdiction. 
  • Exhibit transparency by allowing information about their performance measured against B Lab’s standards to be publicly available on their B Corp profile on B Lab’s website.

The B’Corp certification is similar to the Underwriters Laboratory approval or a National Sanitation Foundation decal except that there are legal requirements that go along with the latter two for safety and health reasons. The B’Corp isn’t demonstrating the transparency it demands of others in its evaluations. How is this joke financed? Do they extort funds from those they evaluate?

It’s time for a remake of Fahrenheit 451 with special attention given to the banking and media sectors instead of fire and police. The chase scenes are still appropriate now with young professionals profiting from the chase and one-upmanship chances for promotion. The Greta Gangs come to mind.

Lawsuit? Nigel?

This “bank” has peculiar views of “climate change”, a subject about which it knows absolutely NOTHING. Yet it takes action based on its “climate change” position? Absolutely nuts! Do those morons realize how obvious their ignorant political bias is? Do they care?

Humans using fossil fuels have ZERO impact on global climate change, notwithstanding contrary claims of the ignorant IPCC. It’s all in the numbers going back to the late 19th century. It’s also in the ice core numbers that show climate is driving changing atmospheric CO2, not the other way around, thanks to Earth’s surface being 71% covered by oceans. It’s also in the geologic figures going back more than half a billion years.

There IS NO CORRELATION between changing atmospheric CO2 and changing global temperature (aka, “climate”)! Unless, of course, you’re an IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Clowns) pseudo-scientist who cherry-picks a serendipitous snippet of time where their specious pseudo-scientific theory appears accurate. But the overwhelming evidence unequivocally demonstrates beyond any reasonable doubt that there is absolutely no correlation between changing CO2 and changing climate.

No correlation means causation is IMPOSSIBLE.

These “banks” (pseudo-banks?) don’t display the intelligence that would enable them to understand that important bit of real science.

Evidently, for these “banks” it’s all about forcing people to do what is best for oligarchs and the people can rot in Hades if they don’t like it.

I’d say “good riddance” to any such “bank”!

If this is a publicly held corporation, is there the possibility of a shareholder suit against management. Moves like this do not maximize shareholder value.

It’s past the time to fight back by boycotting all ESG affiliated businesses. Any business that thinks they can control their customers’ personal opinions and beliefs doesn’t deserve to be used.

October 24, 2023 8:40 am

The libertarian in me says a private business should be able to discriminate against anybody for any reason. But banks are highly regulated already. They should be required to provide services with anybody involved in a legal business. It should be illegal to discriminate against somebody for their political beliefs, even if you find those believes disgusting.

“Climate” and “science” used together is a contradiction in terms. The IPCC should never have been commissioned since it is a political body not a bona fide scientific organization. Likewise climate scientist is a contradiction in terms. Climate scientists are individuals who stand to benefit from spouting climate agenda information. I.e., this is about politics and global organizations controlling the messaging.

If the employees care more about press coverage than business consequences, then there will be business consequences.

Apart from the political attack on Nigel by Nat West for his views & political activity, the behaviour of Nat West’s staff was totally unprofessional with all their insulting comments. It was totally disgusting. I’m glad he is now back in action with an account with Lloyds.

Access to money and resources being determined by your social credit score is what they are implementing. A global totalitarian state is what they are after. The brainwashed are goose stepping to their marching orders.

Independent information sources are the only thing standing in their way. A critical mass isn’t buying into it thanks to those sources. Bless Anthony and the critical thinkers!
