So after days and days of coverage including multiple front pages, BBC reports that Nigel Farage
1. Didn't lose Coutts banks account because of his views, but because his balance was too low. 2. Farage admits being offered alternative account with Natwest, but hasn't taken it up https://t.co/704uQWxixt
Farage offered a NatWest account, but he isn’t interested and we are supposed to believe this is some coordinated action against him? I am leaning to thinking he’s pouring on the conspiracies to stay relevant and keep an audience through manufactured grievance now. Typical Farage behaviour.
For what it’s worth, it may be the Russian explanations were overplayed, and I was wrong about that. However, the idea that Farage is being shut out of society because he can’t access high end banks, but can get an ordinary NatWest account, is a bit much.
