The fact is that Farage had his account closed because he was no longer a criteria client once his mortgage was paid off with the bank.
In my part II post on this topic, I posted an extract (of Coutts 40 page report) which included the extract posted by NJ (@14:02) – that noted Coutts may close his account due to reputational damage, which was not the reason for closing his account – it was because he was too poor.
As explained, if you cause reputational damage to the bank you bank with, they are perfectly within their rights as a private company to terminate their relationship with you.
Imagine the potential reputational damage to a bank providing banking services to a Nazi organisation.
With regards Farage being an idiot; his lies on Brexit have been well documented as have his xenophobic/racist views. If you hold such a person in high regard, then perhaps your moral compass requires picking up off the floor and subject to significant repair, or at the very least recalibrating.
If I were Farage I would be laughing my testicles off at how this fiasco is unfolding in the media in his favour, given the facts.
