Complaints about bank account closures have surged by 20% in the wake of the Nigel Farage debanking scandal, new figures show.
The news that NatWest has begun to nag its customers about their spending for green reasons makes the case for CBDCs, according to one IT specialist.
The crisis at NatWest has deepened after a profit warning sent shares in the taxpayer-owned lender plunging and the City watchdog launched a review into its handling of the Nigel Farage debanking fiasco.
Bosses at NatWest are facing calls from Nigel Farage to suspend staff who joked about wanting to "throw a milkshake" at him after a document revealed staff boasting about having "driven him out of the country".
What if CBDCs are not the threat to liberty their critics think? What if CBDCs will actually protect us against the overreach of private companies like PayPal, not make things worse?
Following the summer's debanking scandal the FCA launched an urgent inquiry. Yet disgracefully it has found no evidence of wrongdoing in what amounts to a blatant cover-up.
The Financial Conduct Authority has been criticised after its review uncovered no evidence that politicians are being denied bank accounts because of their views.
Figures obtained under a Freedom of Information request show that U.K. bank accounts are vanishing at a record pace, leaving thousands of innocent customers financially stranded.
Parents' group UsForThem is urging the FCA to hold PayPal accountable for shutting down accounts last year for political reasons, including that of the Daily Sceptic, and undermining free speech.
Nigel Farage has continued his account closure crusade with the launch of a new website to help the 'debanked'.
