Again, I am left flabbergasted that one man's beef with his bank has become a matter of national importance. Farage is like the Pied Piper when it comes to the News Cycle. Whistle and they follow.

@EmmaKennedy Coutts correctly predicted that he'd play the professional victim card as soon as the downgraded him.

Can't argue against Rose having to go after revealing his details.

In terms of account closures - he mentioned a FB group of 10k that claim they've had accounts wrongly closed. Given that NatWest have 7.5m customers, that's 0.13%. Granted that if people have been wrongly closed, they should appeal.

I notice that MP's are thinking of weakening the fraud measures that banks take. I'm sure they'll be the first to complain if they then end up being targeted by fraudsters.

Also - shame the government don't exhibit this kind of energy to running the country in general.
