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 It is a matter of principle. Farage is wrong on most things, but right on this one.

From what little I've seen I think you're probably right that he is probably right - but this misses Emma's point - which is why it's all over the national news.

But I'd go further - it's not just that the media loves Farage - it's that they love celebrity, and thus continually submerge and trivialise vitally important information - as they did recently by allowing a Sun non-story about a celebrity newsreader to dominate the airwaves over the very days the Earth was breaking temperature records again and again.
