Well the Daily Wail got it fairly near to the top of the page, but obviously well down from some lady Bank Manager jacking the job in.

Less than 1% were electric cars thankfully but the greenies will not be pleased with this figure.

Closing bank accounts and divulging confidential financial information about ANY customer is a serious breach of banking regulations. Exploding lithium batteries is a hazard endemic in Chinese automotive technology.

Maybe that's because the media spent most of their time and energy in trying to scare us with stories of global warming , forest fires and the upcoming world wide next pandemic ?.

"Coutts requires clients to have at least £1 million in investments or borrowing, including a mortgage, or at least £3 million in savings"

Spot the difference.

Well, there may be more than one rotten thing in the state of Denmark (sorry Danes). Clearly the loss of brethren and the noise around lithium batteries is more worthy of comment and investigation than is the human comminutor. If people in the Clapham Omnibus are chatting of lithium in battery scares something must be done to put the issue to bed one way or another.

(And before I step onto our new Manxman as a passenger, too!).

Spot the difference.

1) The Guardian Article is from 5 years ago.

2) The financial circumstances of Farage are irrelevant, revealing a client's personal and confidential information is a breach of UK and European Banking regulations. The purpose of a bank is to manage money, give sound financial advice, and make a profit, something NatWest has singularly failed to do. It also failed to inform the Regulator about deposits of cash delivered in bin liners to small branches in the North of England, the money having come from fraudsters.

3) Coutts no longer has minimum thresholds to open an account since the renaming of Royal Bank of Scotland and making Coutts Bank a subsidiary of NatWest during the reorganisation by the recently departed CEO. It does however vet social media records of clients or potential clients. Coutts offered Farage an account with NatWest after he had cleared his mortgage with them and had his account closed.
Coutts also refused an account to the granddaughter of a former Chancellor of the Exchequer on the grounds that her grandfather was a "Politically Exposed Person."

4) NatWest is still 38% owned by the British tax payer.

I'll admit to having less than one million pounds/euro in my bank account but I also would be in big trouble if my bank shut down my account. I may yet be thankful for Mr Farage's campaign.

At least the snake oil salesman has breathed a little life into SH.

Best thing he has ever done.

The establishment and bienpensant wokerati need an occasional dig in the ribs.
