If you havnt a bank account you are going to really struggle, is that what you want for people with opinions you dont like?
I'm sure Mr Farage has a few bank accounts.
Probably one or two in the Cayman Islands.
He wasn't refused a bank account, the bank closed a business account he had.
If you believe in the free market people with differing political views will never struggle for a financial home. The market will provide.
I've never said I didn't like anyone's political views, this is about the hypocrisy of promoting government interference in a business decision by people who strongly believe that the government should not interfere in business decisions.
It's a hypocrisy that people like Farage are famous for.
The welfare state is communism.
The state propping up earnings with tax credits so companies can pay their staff less is capitalism at its best.
This is nothing more than a distraction, the main reason people are excluded from financial resources in this country are economic, not political.
Start asking questions about credit ratings and why poorer people pay more to access money and credit than rich people no matter their
Lots of assumptions Woody,

You linked my post to being right wing. You make assumptions about Farage that I have know knowledge, where is his hypocrisy? They closed his account because they disagreed with opinions, the rest of what you say have merit but you're getting in a tizz

It's rather strange to hear the right champion government interference in business.
Next you'll be saying pubs should be banned from putting racist dolls on display.
I don't know who will be saying that particular little nugget, but it's SFA to do with this issue.
It's rather strange that those on the Left would consider such actions as being either understandable or acceptable.
Then again, it's only Farage etc etc.
Until it isn't.
It is a bit disturbing that such people (bankers) in this case feel they have the moral authority to pick and choose who has a bank account, it's like they crave control over others,
Like Gaffers deciding who does or doesn't get mail today.
Before Woody chirps up, we are a monopoly, can't get your mail elsewhere.
What exactly has been the outcome fo these Daren Jones fact finding things anyway? It made the news for a few days? Someone got a slap on the wrist? Business carried on as usuall? People talked about it for a week? Ask Joe Public they don't care.

Daren Jones admitted himself the select comittee has no power to do anything so its all a bit pointless.
