'I hope that this week marks a turning point.'
Speaking to GBNews on Wednesday, Mr Farage said that banks were becoming political organisations, with customers who didn’t come up to the moral standards held by the bank’s executives face being “excluded”. He has warned in particular that banks are starting to monitor the social media use of their customers, which if not stopped suggests massive potential for harm in the future given the importance of having access to a bank account is to existing in an increasingly cashless society.
Even buying a train ticket, he observed, requires a bank card now as so few opportunities to pay with cash now exist, a situation which will be considerably exacerbated if plans to replace all ticket offices in the country with unmanned ticket machines proceed.…this campaign will not stop here. I’m not just doing this for me, I’m doing it for thousands — maybe tens of thousands of people — all over this country who have had their bank accounts over the past ten years.
… anybody involved in a cash business, NatWest no longer want their business. Let’s bear in mind we put £45 billion of taxpayer’s money into this bank to save it after its greed and stupidity was revealed in 2008. In return for that, they closed down most of the branches around the country, they don’t want to take cash from small businesses, they have closed the accounts of small businesses — tens of thousands — you can’t live and survive in the modern world without a bank account.
Banking is now an essential service, just like water. And for [the now-resigned Natwest CEO] to say in this statement that they’re propud of the help they’ve given to families and businesses, it’s quite the reverse. The whole banking culture has gone rotten.
