Nigel Farage Demands Bank Staff Are Suspended After Document Reveals Them Boasting About “Driving Him Out of the Country”

by Will Jones
24 October 2023 11:08 AM

Bosses at NatWest were last night facing calls from Nigel Farage to suspend staff who joked about wanting to “throw a milkshake” at him after a bombshell document revealed how staff privately boasted about having potentially “driven him out of the country”. The Mail has the story.

Another message said they would “pay” to be the person who told him he was not welcome to use the firm.

The internal conversations come after the former UKIP and Brexit Party leader was dropped in June by Coutts, a private bank owned by NatWest, over his views.

They were reported by GB News last night after Mr. Farage, a presenter on the channel, submitted a subject access request to NatWest for all the information the bank holds on him.

In one conversation, according to GB News, a bank staffer said: “I’d throw a milkshake at him if I was approached to open an account for him.”

Another referred to a BBC article about Mr. Farage having his bank account closed and said: “Hope that knocked him down a peg or two.” Another, which appears to be part of a WhatsApp group, said: “Have you all seen Nigel Farage’s Twitter? No one will bank him now. Have we single handedly drive NF out of the country?!”

And one staff member suggested Mr. Farage had “dodgy Russian connections”, which he has vehemently denied. He was also described as “sketchy” and workers referred to him as a “crackpot” and an “awful human being”. Mr. Farage claims he was turned down by ten other banks for an account amid the scandal.

Mr. Farage lost his account at Coutts, whose clients include members of the Royal Family, after an internal report said his views did not align with the bank’s values and he was “transphobic”.

The row led to the resignation of NatWest boss Dame Alison Rose after she falsely told a journalist Mr. Farage’s views had not been a factor in the loss of his account. This week the board of the bank, which is 38.6% owned by the taxpayer, will meet to discuss her exit package. But last night Mr. Farage told the Mail that it was the “woke” culture under Dame Alison’s leadership which contributed to the “vile” comments by staff.

Worth reading in full.

My posting history is similarly unavailable. When I try to access it I get the message “N0nc€ is invalid. Only it’s spelt correctly. I don’t remember using that word in a comment, perhaps I was infuriated by something someone at the BBC had done, they do seem to glorify pedophiles somewhat…

Nonce is a technical term. Don’t worry, DS is not calling you a nonce. They’ve got their encryption in a mess…

Nonce: random or semi-random number that is generated for a specific use. It is related to cryptographic communication and information technology (IT). The term stands for “number used once” or “number once” and is commonly referred to as a cryptographic nonce.

Thanks for the clarification MAk, as does the “Posting too fast – slow down” message. Clearly abbreviations not intended to be seen by the public.

Same here, Boomer, I don’t think it’s anything to do with your previous comments. Come on, DS, sort it out! By the way, I’ve never knew you could look at your posting history but mine doesn’t exist either!

I have also set up a completely new account and it is similarly afflicted so it is a site hack, not directed at me personally.

Did you email the DS team yet? Perhaps get back to us with their response, seeing as this is an issue that isn’t affecting you alone. I think this site also suffers from glitches on a regular basis. It’s obviously seen as a threat! lol

I’ve had a look, and your past comments are still in the database (2,286 of them), so it’s presumably some kind of UI bug. However, I’m not sure what you’re looking at – are you referring to My Account->Post View Stats, or somewhere else?

As to the comment rate limiting / flood prevention, I’ve turned that off.

Ah, I see. I get the same error. Looks like a bug introduced in the latest version of the comments software, which was released earlier this week. I’ll file a bug report.

I knew it wasn’t a scam. I got an email from a Nigerian Prince 2 weeks ago saying he was selling the bronzes and if I could give him my bank details he would deposit the money there for safe keeping…only happy to help!
