He’s done us all a service. Banks should be there to do banking …not social engineering. The behaviour of the ‘powers’ at Natwest/Coutts needed to be made an example of. I know of a vicar who responded to a Bank survey on how they were doing. He answered positively on the Banking stuff but expressed reservations about the flags and posters for Pride week. His account was closed. Last I heard he was challenging this so I hope the Farage fiasco helps him. I was in a queue at my high street bank and saw a poster stating that the branch ran 100% on renewable. There were no windmills on the roof nor solar panels ..no evidence of a heat pump ..or anything. I mentioned it to the clerk and the Manager came over. He was totally defensive stating that he didn’t know how it worked but the Bank would not put up a poster if it wasn’t true. I shrugged and got on with my banking …but I know what I think about it and I don’t like it. If it had been someone more ‘acceptable’ than Farage then I wonder if the last two posts would have been so critical. We need a society ..and crucial institutions within society like Banks .. to be impartial for all our sakes. Tell me it ain’t so.
